Here's what genuinely puzzles me ... really.
How can a coaching staff seem utterly incapable of making halftime adjustments to (1) shore up weak points, (2) emphasize and exploit things that were going well in the first half, and (3) motivate the team to show up in the third quarter? Now, I suppose it's possible that it's the team's inability to execute some wonderful plans concocted by the staff (but somehow I doubt it).
Yes, I'm well aware that the other team makes adjustments too. So then why do their adjustments seem to work so well and ours are absolute s**t?
This team shows flashes of good (even great),and periods of bad ... and they come and go, seemingly at random. But the one consistent deficiency, it seems to me, over last year and this, has been the abysmal performance coming out of the half.
I suppose the real question is: If this perception is accurate (and I think it is) ... can it be fixed without a major overhaul?
