What exactly is the point of running a conservative offense?!?

Does no one remember the 7 and 8 minute drives at the end of last season to close games out? This was because we had a more conventional offense that can take advantage of Cams mid to long range accuracy. Bring the linebackers up with the play action and force the DBs into cover 3, it'll leave our new slot reciever out in the open. If the safety bites, Ted Ginn takes the top off. Luckily, we have two great blocking WRs in Smith and Lafell.

This is not a plan for a conservative offense but you play to the game situation and don't force the issue, which Chud was good at.

The pats ran 523 times, dropped back 668 times

Jesus Christ people

the pats ran the ball on 44% of their plays. that's kind of a low percentage. not what i would call a running offense. yes, they ran a lot, but as a percentage of what they did...they were a pass heavy team.

 

you could make an argument that they were balanced, but not much more than that.

I think that people think a conservative offense is a bad thing or that it means we will run the ball 3 times and punt and that isn't necessarily a conservative offense.  A conservative offense makes high percentage plays, picks low hanging fruit, and doesn't take unnecessary chances by turning over the ball.  It could be a running or passing offense.   Conservative means conserving resources, not prone to impulsive changes, traditional and consistent.  Not really that bad.

Be consistent on Offense. Don't turn the ball over, take what the D gives you, be patient, yet still be aggressive. Things we were doing at the end of last year.

With our Defense we should get more short fields. We shouldn't be under pressure to score every time we get the ball. We also shouldn't have to march 80+ yards every time we get the ball.

Less pressure on the O allows them to do what they want, staying within themselves. Let Cam be Cam and this O should be good enough to win. We now have a D that should allow this to be true.

I mean seriously what the hell. That's for a QB like Jimmy. We have Cam fuging Newton. Steve Smith on the side. Brandon "I catch when I wanna" Lafell. Our Backs our second to none. I just don't get it. Play to Cam's strength and spread it off. If I'm not mistaking conservative is what got Fox the door? And what Rivera said was the opposite he was going to do.

Dumbass, how about we play to our strengths: Dwill, Stew, Tolbert and Barner.

Very bright!

Not sure why some are using the Pat's as a team or scheme to emulate.

They have been fortunate to have an exceptionally good QB and to play in one of the NFL's weakest divisions. The relevant teams in the AFC are probably limited to Denver, maybe the Ravens and maybe the Texans.

The strength in the NFL is found in the NFC, and we should strive to equal or surpass teams like SF, Seattle, Green Bay and the NFCS rivals.

The Pat's are not particularly relevant to us.

Am I the only one who giggles whenever somebody tries to claim "ZOMG LOOK AT HOW MANY WEAPONZ WE GOT?!" and then proceeds to list four or five players at the exact same position who will seldom ever have more than one of them on the field at the same time.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
