Why do you think it is "F'in around" (your words) to try to drive and score when you have plenty of time to do so? Why is this possession different at all from possessions in the 2nd half. Did we take too much risk by passing at all in the 2nd half...seems like the logic.
Being relatively conservative to consume time later in the game is fine, but otherwise I think you should trust your offense to move the ball and score any possession where you have enough time to do so.
