Message: [QUOTE="StoweD210, post: 2538765, member: 885"] In the playoff games against the Bills and Steelers, Jacksonville was aggressive, going for it on 4th and goal and scoring TDs in both cases. Yesterday, with 55 seconds left in the half and 2 TOs, Marrone gets as conservative as possible and lets the clock run to end the half. Obviously, it's a different situation being on your own 25 versus being on the opponent's 1 yard line, but you would think, given what was at stake, you would try at least one play to see if you could pick up 10-15 yards. Also, on the possession before that, Marrone basically gave the Patriots an extra time out when he punted with the clock running before the 2 minute warning. He could have let the clock go to the 2 minute warning, then punted and left New England with a little less time and only one TO to work with. Marrone deserves credit for getting the team into the playoffs and to the AFCCG, but he wasn't at his sharpest at the end of the first half. [/QUOTE]
