I agree and I disagree.

I agree because any kind of gameplan outside of Shula's comfort zone is sure to be a disaster.

I disagree in that I seriously doubt we outscore NE by pounding the ball and running up that valuable TOP instead of points.

If it was me, at this point, I'd go hurry-up no huddle the whole damn game.  What the hell, couldn't be any worse than what we've been doing.  (P.S. And, no, I don't think there's a chance in hell of Ron or Mike even considering such a thing.)

First series the first play will be a go route to Benjamin, results imcomplete, overythrown by 5 yrds.  Second play will be CMC up the gut for no gain.  Third play is a Stewart run to the outside, tackled for a 2 yard loss.  Punt.  Rinse and repeat. Ron will stand on the sideline with a blank stare on his face while Shula sits in the booth picking his nose trying to figure why the guys just can't execute his plays.

The defense will have to get after Brady all game. Even if we have to do a lot of blitzing. They cannot let me stand in a clean pocket like they did Breez or this game will be over by end of the 1st quarter. They will need to hit Brady as often as possible to push him out of his comfort zone. If the defense can do this then sticking with the running game will be possible.

It's going to be hard to consider that when we are running all over them killing clock all game that's the way we will win time mangement 

Winning with the run game, thereby eating up the clock, is something that we have a history of success with. However, when it comes to time management, who the hell have you been watching, 'cause it sure ain't us. Besides that, we eat more clock via Shula trying to get plays in than we do with ball control.

We are very good just got to look at the big picture of it all and not just the delay of games 

In it's current state, very good and our offense cannot be used in the same sentence unless you put an isn't in front of very good. Blind homerism is counterproductive in the same way our FO and coaching staff's resistance to change is. Watch Belichick's presser.  He's very complementary of Cam, Luke and core, and even Shula. He's acutely aware of our strengths, but as expected, makes no mention of our flaws. However, he sure does harp on his own, and astutely states when questioned that the first task is to recognize that you have a problem. Then, step by step, address and attack the biggest issues first, fixing 17, 18, however many things there are, until you're done. That doesn't happen in this organization. THAT is looking at the big picture, and every brush stroke in it.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
