Why did that team just collapse in the 2nd half?

[QUOTE="Shawnsta3, post: 468175, member: 5065"] They didn't want grind it out with Alex Green for 20 carries. Which is stupid. I'm calling Mike McCarthy out on this one. AP had basically the same injury(Actually AP had it a little worse) and he came back in [B]half [/B]the time. Green was ready, as evidented by his 41 yard scamper with 2 really nice cuts where his ACL looked just fine. Ok, maybe they see something in Green that hasn't fully healed yet. Whatever. Why not give the ball to Saine in that case? He's perfectly capable of getting 3 or 4 yards and taking the defense off their heels. The Colts consistently played 2 deep safeties with (admittedly) tight coverage underneath. Yet, still McCarthy felt the need to pass. That Colts pass rush we held off so good in the 1st half and so poorly in the 2nd half? Yeah that was the Colts pinning their pass rushers ears back and not worrying about the run. We averaged 2.1 yards per carry better on the ground then the Colts but 7 fewer rushing attempts- for a team with a huge lead, that doesn't make any sense. In the past McCarthy blamed himself for not staying balanced enough in the run/pass ratio. But I defended him saying, well we didn't really have much of a run game anyway so it was pointless. This year it's different. We've got good backs. Just a coach that's strung on throwing it like it's 2011. [/QUOTE]
