I hope it was simply first game issues combined with the heat. Maybe the players didn't go full out because they had it in the bag. Whatever the reason, Reid needs to get that worked out because that kind of performance won't cut it against good teams.

I think the bolded was the biggest thing. Really felt like a preseason game by the 2nd half... crowd was dead.. players seemed like they were just going through the motions. There was no sense of urgency on the offensive side of the ball.. and yeah, I don't like to see that.
