...along with Olsen forgetting how to catch the ball, and Bell playing like he was wearing roller skates. 

 

Every offense every week can point out a handful of negatives, no matter the performance.

 

 

Good QB rating. Good YPC.

 

7 points.

Would u put money on it this weekend for any NFL game? 7 points will win?

I might. The Jags got the ball past their own 35 I believe only a handful of times last week. If the Raiders score 7, they may win.

On the flip side, I don't know a lot of people that would put money on 12 points winning a game, but it did.

We'll let's see. When your offense does even get going and they are constantly getting off the field quick then the defense is out there a long time. That defense did its job no matter how many yards they game up. They held a Super Bowl contender to 12 points. The offense job is to score.

There are a lot more good things about the offense than I originally though after going back and watching the game a couple times and analyzing the game more closely through statistics.

You can say what you want, I realize that in your mind you think saying "7 points" as if it is your trump card.

But in order to evaluate the offense and project it moving forward you have objectively look at all of the factors involved.

That is why most statistical analysis says the offense performed at a level that you refuse go believe so you are reduced to the simplistic echo of "7 points"

You're characterizing the overall sloppy play of our offense on Sunday as a "handful of negatives"?

 

Byron Bell's performance alone was a "handful of negatives". 

 

Cam's ability covers up a lot of warts... the offense performed as well as it did (on paper) because Cam once again found ways to make up for the inequity of execution all around him.

I do find it interesting though that most people here think our defense kicked ass in spite of allowing Russell Wilson his first 300 yard game, but most also agree that our offense was complete poo.

 

Front 7 played lights out....pressured Wilson all day and shut down their running game.

 

Back 4 played like dog poo.

Arr we talking goals or realistic expectation based on factors of the game?

The goal is to score every time we have the ball, yet it is an unrealistic expectation.

 

I see. Now you are saying 2 touchdowns in a home game is not realistic.

 

Or hell, how about a touchdown and 2 field goals.

 

I guess I am just not realistic then.

I agree fully. But unfortunately the defense is one unit. So even if every week the front 7 reaches the QB and Hardy gets his 50 sack goal this year, if you're giving up the booty on the back end, it is still poo.

It is.

 

What is the ultimate goal of the offense? Get yards or score points?

 

Spin away....

 

Was it in Shula's gameplan for Olsen to develop a case of the dropsies and for Williams to fumble on Seattle's 8 yard line during the game winning drive? 

 

What would have been the acceptable points threshold for you against one of the best defenses in the league?

      The bottom line is we saw long stretches this season where T-Mac wasn't even targeted.  He had games where he went an entire half without seeing a pass thrown his way, and it lead to a bunch of games with 5 or less targets.  If he's healthy and we're not up a stupid amount and only running the ball, I can't see him having more than a game or two next year with 5 or less targets. We were also only 22nd this year in pass attempts, and that was with a rookie #1 and no legitimate 2nd option for half the season.  And even then, we were only 46 pass attempts above 31st place. If we go into next season with T-Mac improved in his 2nd season and a healthy Coker for 17 games, there is absolutely no reason for us to not throw it more.  That right away increases both of their target totals without sacrificing any targets from each other or other players, add in them taking targets from the TEs and RBs on top of that, and your argument just doesn't hold water anymore. You can't look at targets/yards in a vacuum and think next year Coker just takes some from T-Mac.  You have to look at the team as a whole and our situations this year and then project what will happen next year. If he's healthy for 17 games, I'd bet my life savings that T-Mac sees increases across the board, targets/catches/yards/TDs.   Just as Coker will also see career highs in all categories, it's not one vs the other, it's shifting offensive strategy given our personnel, which next year will be much better for our passing game (QB issues aside).

      C'mon now.... First, you can't switch up your argument once someone points out a major flaw in your point. You're saying we shouldn't expect a big increase in targets/yards for T-Mac, but then shift to talking about averages with Chase when I point out the significant leap he took there once you factor in his missing games.  He saw an increase in targets in 5 less games, averages aside, he saw a significant increase in targets in his 2nd season, what he then did with those targets is actually irrelevant in this discussion. Puka seeing no increase is pointless, as he saw such an absurd amount of targets for a rookie, it's near impossible to see an increase. But the real issue in this post is that you think I'm proving your point by showing how Waddle had to share targets with Hill. Tyreek Hill was a 1st team All Pro who was 2nd in the NFL in yards that season. If you think Jaylen Waddle sharing targets with a 1st team All Pro and a future HOFer is even remotely in the same category as T-Mac needing to share targets with Coker... then you are certifiably insane, lol. If anything, you could make the argument that Coker is to Waddle as T-Mac is to Hill in that discussion (which would then lead to a serious increase in targets/yards for T-Mac).  But even that is insane, as neither T-Mac or Coker will be as good as Hill and Waddle respectively that season.  I love both of their potential, but c'mon now, T-Mac isn't getting 119 catches for 1,700 yards and Coker isn't getting 117 for 1,350 next season.
