Teddy Bridgewater's completions....

I anticipate our offense will look very similar.

And I'm OK with that.

I don't give a crap if we are dinking and dunking down the field as long as we are efficient and move the chains.

The biggest gripe with Shula/Norv and the old regime was how feast or famine our entire offense was. If it wasn'ta  huge chunk, it was a small to negative gain.

*behind arguable the best oline in the NFL, that’s what our offense will come down to

thats what the offense of any great team in the last 20 years has come down to

if I were him I’d get the best health insurance 20m can buy

Saints played very vanilla offense with Teddy in there.  I think it was to limit injuries and make sure they didn't lose another QB to injury.  No reason to risk big plays when your team is stacked from top to bottom and in control of the division.  Wasn't he like 5-0 too?

How is this any different than a Tom Brady led offense? I'll take a qb getting rid of the ball instead of taking a sack allll day. The NFL is not about getting the ball down the field, its about getting the ball into the hands of players who can take it down field. Ball air travel time was at the lowest its ever been last year across the NFL. Dont expect that to change.

If you look at Brady and Brees , most of their passes are less than 20 yds .  They dink and dunk allowing their receivers to make plays . they only try a deep pass when opportunity presents itself .  You don't argue with success .

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
