I don't get our inability to hold a lead or play with any kind of intensity in the 2nd half of several of our games. Especially against Division foes?
What is up with the 2nd half collapses? (Puzzling)

Shaun Hill and Austin Davis.
Plus the D is on the field the whole game because of the two mentioned.

Too many problems with the offense. This offense had to be conservative with the QBs we had this year. Fisher and Shotty never trusted either one to let it rip. A porous O-Line didn't help matters either. So in the end, Fisher had to rely too much on the defense holding leads and they couldn't. Plus, the defense didn't really start clicking until week 7, with a couple mishaps after that. We have too many holes still needing to be filled, and if we don't get both the O-Line and QB situation fixed, we will always be a below average team.

The easy strategy for the Rams would be to immediately punt on 1st down before we get three penalties and then turn the ball over.
This would stop the opposing team from getting great field position and defensive scores. The Rams could then cut all of the offensive players and sign more defensive studs. Fisher would become the greatest head coach in NFL history and Schotty would become god.

Well neither of our two back up QBs can throw it deep which didn't help. When we get into a hole Hill or Davis aren't really the guys who can get you out of it. That's not they're fault I suppose - they're backups for a reason. Their job was to manage the game and keep it close enough to win. The consistent 3 and outs tire our our D and we end up getting really behind and having to chuck it deep....which we cant.

I have to disagree about today. The offense moved the ball on a couple of drives, late 3rd Qtr and in the 4th. Hill killed 1st drive by throwing the INT, Kendricks had the ball stripped away for a Defensive TD, and then on the drive that Cunningham had the ball knocked out near the end zone for a touchboack, Cook dropped a sure TD. So, you can't tell me that the offensive game plan was useless.

No. No. That wouldn't work.
We should take a knee on each down and punt on fourth. That way the defense gets more rest than they normally would.

Yeah seems to me but for the turnovers the offense adjusted fine and can't imagine what defensive adjustments you make when you shut the other team out in the first half

So you thought the offense wasn't just as good in the second half, minus the INTs, that it was in the first half? I won't see the game on anything other than my computer screen until my son comes over with a copy I can watch on my big TV later in the week but I didn't see that. You know that you're talking about one of my biggest complaints with him but I don't think he was the problem this week. I haven't noticed any other teams make any successful half time adjustments against them for a hole bunch of games in a row now. Our offense didn't look any worse in the second half to me. INTs were the problem. And fumbles.

Not going to speak for Chris but I viewed the topic as looking at the 2nd half in terms of the entire season. I don't know the numbers but I'd be willing to bet there's a big drop off between first half points and second half points when looking at the season as a whole.So you thought the offense was just as good in the second half, minus the INTs, that it was in the first half?

When looking at just this game, I thought the Rams actually made some adjustments and it showed in how they moved the ball. I was kind of shocked by it.
