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...

Didn't we just discuss this ad nauseum a couple of weeks ago? In one of those "Redskins Suck" threads?

Did we? I was just reading the article on Post.com and thought it was thread worthy. If it's a dupe then lock it. Sorry... It wasn't intended to be "Redskins Suck" thread.

I'm sure we discussed it back when it was 11 games (after the Giants game). We discuss it here

and in the Redskins vs. Giants game thread

You kind of have to dig for it, but it's there
