Don't you wish anything in this post was true?

That was a pretty pointless comment, but thanks for your input.

It's a tried and true formula that works AGAINST the Panthers very often.  If you get a lead on us, we're not coming back from it. 

We came back against the Bengals and the Giants. Almost came back against the Falcons.

Hence me using the term "defense is a good thing", which you conveniently didn't mark bold.

You're utterly delusional if you think that running the ball and playing defense in today's NFL is a winning formula.  The I-formation don't work like it used to buddy.  Defenses can stop that in their sleep - then they send they're 5 receiver sets out and massacre you.

If you want me to give you credit for saying "defence is a good thing" then you're in the wrong place...

The I-formation absolutely does work and continues to be used and has nothing to do with the pace of your offence.

It's all situational. Some drives it's better to stay in the hurry up, some drives it's better to slow it down. Not defending Rivera and co. though, I think we do best in the no huddle.

I only wish we'd speed it up so we could get more stats and shut Wayne Faust up!

The "I-formation" is an analogy for "old school" football which just doesn't work like it used to.  You can deny it all you want, but it's true.  There were 1200 yards of offense in the superbowl this year and almost 80 points.  The year prior, same situation.  Offenses are taking over the league.  It's time for us to get with the times and keep up.  You don't need ball control to keep pressure on the opposing offense.

We will probably have the slowest pace by season end

It’s sad knowing Cam and this offense will never reach their full potential under this regime.

So what you're saying is we're 4th best in time of possession?

Remind me... why was it we weren't able to come back against the Falcons?  Maybe something to do with taking 22 seconds to get off a play while we were running our "hurry-up"...?

This stat isn't referring to this. Big reach. Fail.

This stats doesn't correlate to points, scoring is still far more effected with how you execute once the ball has been snap as opposed to how fast it's snapped.

I'm not sure what you're talking about right now.  I'm not referencing a stat.  I'm referencing a single series in a game where our pitifully slow offense cost us any possible chance we had at a comeback.  Looks like you're the one reaching... or you just decided to randomly inject yourself into a conversation that you haven't read the entirety of.

It doesn't correlate to points, but it would be better if we could get the plays in sooner, so we don't have to waste timeouts.

You are using 2 minute offense as an example of our slow offense. The entire thread is about our offense being one of the slower paced offenses on purpose.

That single play that took 22 seconds off of the clock was part of our 2 minute offense being poorly executed. It is NOT an example of our purposeful slow pace play.

That was on the players not the coach's game plan or strategy.

I don't think it was.  I think it's actually a culture of the team.  When it's time to move their butts, they can't function properly.  When you are waiting til :01 to snap the ball on every single play, I just think you start to lose your urgency overall.  Sure seemed like it.  They weren't hurrying to the line physically speaking either.  They looked completely lost when it was time to run a hurry up offense.
