I don't know how alarming it really is.
We scored 125 points or 36% of our points in the 2nd quarter and average nearly 16 points in the first half and 33% of our points come in the 4th quarter.
What does this tell you? I know what it tells me.
What we are doing in the first half, for the most part works, which means the defense has to make adjustments. I say this because if the offense is working why would McCarthy CHANGE anything?
So the defensive schemes change and it takes McCarthy a few drives to see what it is they are doing and HE changes, thus, an increase in 4th quarter scoring.
I also noticed in games where we did not get going in the first half the 3rd quarter numbers were better so when it was McCarthy that needed to adjust he did some things that worked, i.e., the 17 we put up against the vikes in the 3rd after scoring 3 in the first half.
Of course there's those hellbent to portray McCarthy like some slug that comes out in the 3rd quarter with a little barley on his breath like he doesn't know what he's doing.
