We are letting teams hang around, we need to stop being so conservative

Are the patriots receivers really better than ours are? Honestly I think a lot of our struggles come down to offensive philosophy and not personnel.

Shula ball.... "Oh guys were ahead.  Our defense will keep us there.  Let's just run the ball three and out.  Take time off the clock".  I hate it.  We have been doing it every game since Shula's been here.  Bugs me to death.  But maybe it's not Shula calling those plays maybe it's Ron's call. I don't know

the problem is the offense is not constructed to really pull away from anyone. it is on the defense and ONLY the defense to go out there and in critical situations to get stops and not give up 17 points in a quarter.

if we wanted an offense that pulls away...we should have drafted and signed players in the off season that pulls away...

Pretty much this, this season we have limitations on offense, they are real and they aren't going away this year.

The fact that Shula has managed to gameplan around the limitations is part of the reason I've changed my tune on Shula this year.  I'm honestly shocked we're 7-0 right now and totally didnt expect this after KB went down.  Now though? I just dont know anymore, if we beat Greenbay next week, we're in prime position for taking `1st in the NFC into the Playoffs which will get us much closer to a Super Bowl appearance, but with the talent we have on offense I have no idea how we are managing this...

    • But again as I stated in the other thread, other than JJ Jansen, the only constant since Tepper bought the team has been Tepper himself. We have an ownership problem. Almost every single one of this team's issues can be traced back to David Tepper. 
    • My deceased father was an All-ACC End and he raised me teaching me football--I never realized how he changed my understanding of the game--however, one thing he said that I will never forget:  The measure of a good NFL QB is this:  "If your team is down by 6 or fewer points in the fourth quarter but has the ball with under two minutes and with 2 timeouts, are you favored to win?  Can he put the team on his back and drive the field for a TD more than 50% of the time?"  If we are down 14-20 and have the ball on our own 20 with 2 timeouts--does Bryce win the game more than 50% of the time?  (It rarely happens).  If not, there is no reason to keep him around.  If he gets hot and we win a few games, he will want major $$$.  While I am not blaming him, I do not see that Alpha at QB.  Sorry.  He has improved, but do we have that Alpha dawg in the huddle when the game is on the line?  That 4th down pass in the end zone tells us what he is--unfortunately.
    • Lol Curry was an elite shooter the moment he stepped into the big leagues, dude wasn't out there shooting 15% from three.   Accuracy is 100% coachable, its the physical talent that cant be coached lol.   Josh Allen completed 52% of his passes for 10 tds and 12 ints as a rookie....   Improving from that to what he is now is NOT NATURAL talent it is work....
