Playing 'not to lose'...hate it

[stankowalski]

Run...run...pass. Predictable, easy to defend and the cause of more losses than I can count.

We may still win the game, but I'd like to see a change in mentality and playing all 60 minutes to win.

Who do you blame for that?

[stankowalski]

Well obviously the coaches are to blame. But in their defense a lot of teams do this. I just don't trust our defense to hold a lead with 5 minutes to go...so I I hate seeing us putting the brakes on, on offense.

And that's what happens when WE handcuff our offense with 5 minutes to go...smh.

Hey this brand is football is OK for some teams. The teams with a defense that can actually stop somebody...but not this team. And it amazes me that we would handcuff our offense ANYTIME knowing the other team can literally almost score at will.

Actually, this game was played to win until the last 5 minutes of the game. The last 5 just killed us.
