We have scored a grand total of 7 points in the 3rd quarter this year

[Everson24]

What is going on with this coaching staff that we are totally ineffective on offense in the 3rd quarter this year? Tom Landry used to say that games are won or lost in the third quarter. Are teams making adjustments at the half that we are slow to react to or is it something else. This just seems ridiculous with the talent we have on offense that we can only score 7 points in four games.

A little of it all. Yesterday our main problem was we couldn't get the ball away from greenbay. I think we had one possession in the third

It's hard to score when the other team has the ball practically the whole quarter.

That's what happens when you never defer to the second half

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Simple, the opposing team has made their adjustments at half time. This clown show coaching staff makes no adjustments. Perhaps they spend the half-time bragging about the time-out they saved right before halftime. Don't really know exactly what they do, but I do know it's not spent on making adjustments.

 

[TheBigEasy]

Quite simple...halftime is where adjustments are made. Obviously, Red is content with their first half play and he feels that his schemes are so difficult to understand that there isn't a coach, besides himself, that's smart enough to make the adjustments needed to blow up his schemes. I'd expect a good coached team to come out after half and improve on their first half performance. Evidently, we're not a well coached team.

This. We receive the ball each and every game. After halftime, our horrific defense gives up a 10 minute, clock churning TD drive like clockwork.

HALF TIME ADJUSTMENTS

WHAT HALF TIME ADJUSTMENTS...

They do that because they know they would start each game -7 before the offense even gets on the field. It's like pick your poison.

Garrett is such an idiot receiving the kick every game. I really hate that clown

 

[sbark]

The old adage....how does it go? If you score last before the half,..........and score 1st after the half----pretty darn good chance your gonna win the darn game.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Crazy season holder fans didn't get the letter stating second half adjustments will put you to sleep this year. Last year the success was pedal to the medal...this year roll up in the fetal position and hope the other team doesn't adjust.

Packers scored three only the third quarter..

It was the offense that sputtered the whole half, minus when they decided to give it to Zeke in the fourth, basically the whole drive..

Zero halftime adjustments. It's almost as if our coaching staff is incapable. If we had a glimpse into that locker room at halftime it would probably be something like this....

Not sure I agree with that. The offense only had 1 drive in the third quarter. And held the ball for a 9+ minute, should be game winning drive in the fourth quarter. When the offense puts up 30+ points and you lose back to back weeks, it's a pretty safe bet to say the offense is likely not the main issue.

Game one: Giants start the second half with a 9:44 drive (FG).

Game two: Broncos start the second half with a 7:04 drive (TD).

Game three: Cowboys get the ball first to start the 3rd. It's the one time we scored in the 3rd quarter.

Game four: Cowboys first four second half possessions were 3 punts and a pick.

Game five: Packers had the ball for 11:34 in the 3rd quarter.

And that sloppy offense continued to throw check downs and underneath into it he fourth until they finally decided to abandon passing the ball and run it..

Game three, I believe was the Cardinals when we went straight to Zeke, who ran it downfield on three runs I believe and then Dez had that amazing run breaking through like the defenders..

We need to ride Zeke..

Exactly......pretty sure stats will show just what you've said.
