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...

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
