I was stunned to hear the stat they gave during the game that we have given up 45 points in the last 2 minutes of the half and we gave up another 7 last week so it is now 52!  That is inexcusable, we are getting out to a lead and then just giving away points and most of those 52 points are TDs where would could not at least hold them to 3.

That is what happens to your defense when that are gassed out towards the end of the game.  Just too many three and outs trying to run the clock out with all the run plays and dump passes in order to preserve a lead.

they wouldnt be so gassed if they didnt give up so many long drives earlier in the games though either.  Our D gets that excuse thrown out in their defense quit often,  but their first half/3quarters time of possession allowed certainly doesnt help matter.  they need to say F the bend dont break shit and play to get off the field and protect field position.

I think it is less about the 3 and outs and more about giving up 30+ first downs.

The offense has put up way more than enough points to win ballgames this year most games.
