garizzalies said:I’m not sold on this offense yet. It’s all or nothing; hot and cold. Too inconsistent, particularly against decent Ds. There’s no one thing it does great, like a bread-n-butter play. And that running game. On paper it seems brilliant; but in reality it requires near perfect execution. No room for error. Great example: on probably our best drive in the 1st vs Dweeb (prior to the pick), we had to convert like 5 of 5 third downs. That will eventually catch up to you. Just not sustainable. And don’t get me started on the pressure on the qb
Great point about seeming to always be looking at a third-down conversation. The great offenses face fewer of those situations than we seem to. I have had these thoughts during games this year. When a first-down running play doesn't gain at least 4 yards, it sets-up a scenario which often puts us in a 3rd down situation.
