Game, and season, likely over. Considering jumping off this shit wagon, been waiting for too f'n long for this franchise to get their shit together. Won't happen until they move to L.A. and clean house & change ownership and Magic Johnson takes over
Ken, good coaches know how to not only make up for deficits but when the other team has adjusted to stop what we were doing successfully in the first half, know how to adjust to meet that adjustment and to adjust to how they have changed their offense to now move the ball on us when they could not in the first half.
This was the New Orleans game all over again.
We come out great in the first half and then in the second half, they adjust and we don't.
If you're beating somebody's butt and there is a break in the action (halftime), anybody with a survival instinct is going to use that break to talk about how to change what they are doing to stop you from beating them and how to start beating you.
So if you are the person doing the first half beating, you have to anticipate that they change and in what way they will change and have a game plan of your own to change to meet that anticipated change.
We have a game plan. March with the flag waving, fife and drum, 6 men abreast with 20 rows. If that works great. But when the colonials, bushwhack you from the sides, take out your flagman, pick off all the men in the outside rows and all you can do is fall to the ground...you're not going to have a good day. The similarities is stunning. We have no ability to perceive our opponents changes on offensive or defense. We "march to our deaths" figuratively speaking.
Lousy COACHING and poor player preparation is what's hampering our ability to finish strong and win. We upgraded LT with McKinnie and improved the turnstile RT position with Martin. That was good to see, however, the O-line interior was unable to cope with blitzing LBs in the second half.

The Fog of War--that's the crap that happens, that you know will happen in some manner, the expected, the unexpected. It's Murphy's Law.
Also--The officiating was terrible. Bad calls. We reacted poorly. We got screwed on top of having inept coaching with no adjustment capability.
Several assistant coaches need to step down (be replaced, fired, tarred and feathered) IMO. If it doesn't happen during the season, it must happen during the off season.
