Skinny has complained that the quick end of half drives don't count because, they were quick and at the end of half's

you argue that the long slow drives don't count because they require too many plays and too much time.

Last I checked it's a good thing if your team can:

- drive down at the end of the first half, against a top rated D, and get 7 points is a good thing.

- have long sustained drives that keep your opponent's offense off the field.

but somehow the Skins manage to do both, and still manage to give the appearance on the field that they don't have offensive cohesion.

And wear down the opposing defense I might add. I thought that was a good thing, no? Winning the "time of possession" battle is always a goal. You want to give their offense as few chances to score as you can don't you?
