2nd Half &quot;Clenching&quot;

Anyone notice the trend? 2nd Half in league championship game = we're up against the Hawks and we let them back in the game and they win 2nd Half to the Cowboys = we're up, but we score what a single FG the second half and actually let them play back into the game, we win 2nd Half to the Bears= we're up and we know what happened last night. Watching the game last night we were saying let's see how the coaches make 2nd half adjustments, and true to recent form they "clench" up and make no adjustments to win the game. Almost like they want to just hold on like a fighter who won the first 5 rounds and decides from round 6-10 to hug the opponent the final 5 rounds of a fight. I don't think its a single person's fault, but maybe all of these reasons: 1. Kap not being able to make the smart play and run for a 1st down instead of chucking it into triple coverage. 2. Roman for being Roman and willing to try out new plays just for fun. I'm surprised we didn't thrown to a lineman last night. Why not continue to run a play that gets you 4+ yards every time. No screens to RB's or WR's at all despite their D playing back. 3. Fangio not rotating his D and letting them stay on the field FOREVER. No wonder why they're so tired, our dudes are worn out sill the 2nd half from not getting off the field. That plus the guaranteed flag on 3rd down every time. 4. Harbaugh for not cleaning up 1-3 above. He's the coach direct your team and whatever you do don't let Colin snap every play with 1 sec on the clock, or let the clock run out in the last minutes of the game.

Bringing back this thread because we still haven't done squat in the 2nd half. It all goes back to coaching unfortunately, and a little on the refs.
