What is With the Blown Leads This Year?

[RobToxin]

I know comebacks have happened before but I can not think of a single season where so many three score leads have been completely blown before.

It's almost as if the worst thing a team can do in the 2013 season is get a 17-24 point lead by halftime. I have no clue what it is but week after week we see these blown leads happen.

Am I the only one that finds this perplexing?

Not too perplexing when the Raiders do it, I guess I am just used to it, at least they have been getting out of the blocks quickly, but it's been so predictable for them, I am pretty much holding my breath until the final gun.

As far as other, better, teams doing it, it just seems like 2 distinct halves of ball, almost any team can rally and pull it out in the end.

Or the Lions for that matter. Coach Dumbass finds ways to lose games. Lets try a fake FG when we are up 4 late in the 4th quarter instead of kicking the FG and going up 7. He then blows it off by saying "One thing you can say is I do not coach scared". Right Jimbo, we can also say you don't coach smart too.

Fire Schwartz. The Titans want him back.

As a DC maybe. As a HC would be beyond his capabilities

It's not uncommon for teams with an early big lead to take their foot off the gas.

This.

And that is why I prefer to bet the second half of a game rather than the pre-game spread.
