Why can't we finish? Where's the killer instinct?

As this Post article points out, since Gibbs came back in '04 we've lost 12, yes TWELVE games when leading at halftime. More than any other team in the league in that span. Just think, if we had won say 9 of those 12, Gibbs' record this time around would be 33-20 instead of 24-29. Pretty significant. I know every game is different and there probably isn't one answer, but there's no denying it's a trend. And it's also interesting when you think about how guys like Gibbs, Bugel, and Williams put such a huge emphasis toughness, togetherness, and character...
