Epic offensive showdown tonight

Recommended Posts

You know your team is having offensive struggles when you say to yourself "All we have to do tonight to win is outscore Mark Sanchez." And then you say to yourself.. oh crap.. I'm not so confident we can do that.

 

Shula vs. Sanchez... going to be a barn burner.

if only watching paint dry could burn down barns

You know, the only thing that made Shula-Ball bearable last year was that our defense was punishing. Teams feared us last year and the first two games of this year. When you played Carolina, your offense got banged up.

Now, knowing the opponent is going to have its way with us offensively, it's unwatchable. I'm not looking forward to trying to control the clock and establish the nonexistent run game when we're down 21-0. End rant. I feel better (not really)

Bc it wasnt flashy and was ball control oriented .....people overlooked in 2013 our offense pretty much had its way with teams.

Only difference this year is we have been starting offensive lineman that should be on the practice squad and have zero speed at WR to help open up our pass attack.

The Eagles' D is pretty stout. I still expect them to ball out even missing Ryans.

That said, I hope we throttle them. I would love nothing more than a blowout in our favor tonight where we just continue to pour it on.

I hope the story line tomorrow is how inconsistent we are, as opposed to Sanchez' rebirth

Two offensive philosophies at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

Chip Kelly - the offense is what scores points so I want as many offensive touches as possible. Make the other team keep up.

Schula - The opposing offense can't score if they are on the sideline. Targets 8 possessions / game. Efficiency over qty. Protects the defense.

 

Schula's game plan might work consistently with a good oline/running game. But I think Kelly's allows for more mistakes and injuries.

    • I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can. 
    • My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.
    • In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
