[QUOTE=irish;359024]Good article in today's Post about how terrible the Skins are at finishing games under Gibbs 2.0.[/QUOTE]

Yes..on par with the Oaklands and Houstons when it comes to losing games despite a half time lead. Pitiful. Nice article.

[quote=jsarno;358961]I love it when someone uses stats to prove a point, and those figures speak volumes. So much so that all arguments should cease. If you were a debator in high school / college, I'd call you the winner.[/quote]Sorry we have a tendency to lead competant teams at half.

I'll get Gibbs on the horn and tell him to mail it in in the first so we don't have to worry about giving up a lead.

Considering two of the past three seasons have resulted in losing records, I don't think this stat is very surprising. Bad teams will find ways to lose games.

Nice article.[/quote]Gibbs seems a little dismissive by saying that each season is a new year, even though losing leads has been a recurring theme since his return. I find it astounding that Gibbs 1.0 was [B]47-3[/B] at home when holding a halftime lead, while Gibbs 2.0 is 9-7 in similar situations, including [I][B]4 straight losses[/B][/I]. Great article by JLC.

we cant do what the pats or cowboys do by throwing the ball with the lead. we might make a mistake and lose the game. Thats the reason we won the game against NY> What we lost by playing conservative you have to be kidding,

WHo said we want him to phone it in for the 1st half? We want him to play in the second, not bend over.
