Do You Have Faith In Our Ability To Start A Game With Guns Blazing on Offense?

[Hoenheim]

Am I the only one getting tired of us starting out slow and playing from behind this year?

What I've seen in many 4th quarters is that our offense absolutely can be explosive. But why can we not do this in the 1st half or 1st quarter. Almost every game we're starting off with so many stalled drives and punts while the other teams are finding ways to score.

Hell I'm not saying we're a bad team or bemoaning a great win last night. But why do we have to put the burden on Cam to be a superhuman and bail us out in the 4th quarter all the time?

Is there a way to solve this? I dont see Rivera giving Samuel or DJ playing time over Funchess and Torrey who have been rather solid as of late.  If it were me I would be letting Samuel split time with Torrey and DJ get the vast majority of the snaps in the slot so he can eat all game long. 

Do we need more deep shots early in the game? Giving cam more freedom to call his own plays and do the hurry up offense? Giving CMC more carries? 

One thing I've noticed is that CMC seem consistently start the games with a good run or 2 and Norv immediately abandons the run and starts calling these short passes that dont do much and lead to drives stalling. Like if CMC gets you 8 yards on first down, why the hell not run him 2 more times to pick up the first? Impose your damn will till they cant stop the run anymore. 

When I watch almost every other team in the NFL just bombing away downfield with huge explosive plays in 1st quarter I get frustrated man. Why are we unable to do anything like that? Why must we struggle with inefficient and inconsistent offense until the team is forced to go into desperation mode in 4th quarter? Can we not play with that same intensity and desperation for the entire game?

Our offense has been making mistakes early in every game. 

Eliminate the mistakes.

I would run the Chip Kelly offfense, dead serious 

 

Our offense would average 35 ppg
