Could it be the offense is dumbed down b/c of Cam's condition

Do they honestly believe a chopped nut offense with Cam leading is a better chance of winning than Derek with a full playbook? Then again, we got that safety option with CMC which wasn't being used until being down 18 points in the second half of the third game of the season.

Shula and Rivera are very (over)reactionary on offense and usually several games behind the curve.

The coin has finally dropped that they should protect Cam with short passes and they realized he's lost his accuracy some with the deep ball. So they go all in vs the Saints with a bunch of hastily inserted horizontal passes and bubble screens. What was especially maddening was that played right into the Saints plan of playing 3 safeties).  

We'll see what they can do in upcoming games, but both coaches have shown as far as the offense their plans require everyone performing above what is asked of them which is why they constantly fail.

"Dumbing down" is what you do when someone can't handle the mental aspects of the job. 

"Scaled back" would be a better term to use for limiting the offense because the quarterback is injured.

Side Note: I'm sure someone will come in and say that a Shula offense couldn't possibly be dumbed down any further than it already is.
