Watching these playoff team's offenses

It is really, really discouraging watching the amazingly sophisticated schemes and play-calling by teams with coaches who don't live in daily fear of the NFL's liberal passing rules.

But, according to Ron, in order for us to evolve on offense we need to... run the ball more.

Those QBS don't have Shula as OC

Newton had by far the worst completion percentage of qualifying QBs -- the second worst was nearly 4 p.p. better. You can't blame that sort of statistical deviance on an OC. 

 

And perhaps Shula avoids calling for short, accurate passes for the same reason Kyle Shanahan doesn't call QB keepers for Matt Ryan.

I hate the modern NFL. Rules favoring offenses have gotten to be so fuging absurd and ridiculous. Rivera I think would be one of the best coaches of all time back in the day. Unfortunately the game has changed. Still think he's the guy and can have success in the modern NFL, but he needs to make the tough decision to change the entire offense, and it starts with Shula and Dorsey.

Atlanta is winning because they are effective at running the ball with Coleman and Freeman

Dallas is the one see because of their run game

New England looks invincible because of the duo of Blount and Dion Lewis

Laveon Bell has single handidly changed the steelers season

 

Ron is right. We need to run the ball better to lengthen drives and take some pressure off Cam.

QBs all also convert ~70% of their passes instead of ~50%

Our offense doesn't require 70% cmp percentage. A lot of that is dump offs. Cam's highest was 61.7 in 2013. What our offense requires though is a complete o-line and a competent OC that calls the right plays especially in crucial situations. With our tackles and our OC (and not to mention drops), it makes running our offense harder than it should be.

Our offense also requires more intermediate and deep throws than these other offenses. I know you like taking shots at Cam, and he had a bad year, but if he's between 58 - 62% were good.

The huddle tells itself so many lies so many times it starts to believe them. 1 of which is Shula being our biggest problem. 

Seattle fans are singing the same blues about their OC after they couldn't make adjustments yesterday to offset their outmatched o-line.

Patriot fans might be doing the same if Osweiller wasn't such a terrible QB. Even the great Bellicheat and Mcdaniels couldn't stop a superior d-line from harrassing Brady and causing him to match his season total Interceptions yesterday.

    • Just an FYI, this stat line was brought up more than once for TMJ and Mingo. Maybe he will, but he got a ton of snaps last year. By snaps, XL was our number 1 WR. Thielen and Coker outperformed him on 40-50% less snaps. Reminded me of TMJ where people kept saying he needs more targets when snap wise he was our WR2 for most of his time. XL needs to be better and be able to turns all those snaps into production.
    • Justin Simmons interested in two NFC East teams The former All-Pro safety is currently a free agent and it appears that there are two teams he'd prefer to play for: The Eagles or the Commanders.  Simmons revealed that information on the "Talkin' Ball" podcast and you can check out his full comments here. With the Eagles trading away C.J. Gardner-Johnson, it will be interesting to see if they even contact the 31-year-old Simmons.  If Simmons went to Philadelphia, it would reunite him with Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Simmons spent the first eight seasons of his career in Denver and three of those came while Fangio was head coach. 
    • You know, Thomas just kept fooling everyone in that building somehow. Remember how many times he "flashed in training camp/practice" and then disappeared during the season? It was NUTS. I don't see ever being okay paying significantly above market value for a blocking TE. They are just too easy to be had for a small price tag. That's just my personal philosophy on the matter. Not the way I like to see cap space utilized.
