Quote:I don't get all of the need to place blame at one player or coach's feet.  Seems so childish. 

 

- The defense wasn't able to sustain the QB pressure they applied in the first half.

 

- The defense tackled very poorly in the second half.

 

- Henne made more bad throws in the second half. 

 

- Receivers dropped more catchable balls in the second half. 

 

- Jags didn't benefit from as many turnovers in the second half. 

 

- O-line allowed the RBs to be hit in the backfield WAY too many times

These things ^ seem to be where blame is distributed to my eye.  

 

For the "half-time" adjustment crowd:  When you have a young, inexperienced roster in need of help at numerous spots, what half time adjustments can be realistically made?  They've already dumbed down the scheme to milk what they can out of the roster.   They were scheming the game just fine in the first half. They were actually dominating.  (with lots of turnover help) What were they supposed to change?? They just needed to hang on and not suddenly suck. They weren't able to do that. 

 

This team played over it's own head in the first half - then crash landed back into reality. (actually a step below reality)
