I agree. I don’t think this team frowns upon hitting Lamb on a slant that goes for 50 yards in fear of scoring too fast. The objective is to score and like you said be smart.
You're correct and some of these dudes I'm not even gonna respond to calling it terrible I mean it's ridiculous to say that it was execution issues wasn't really the play call it was the execution there was a lot of drop passes there were some penalties called some not called I mean when you drop passes and you have problems running the correct route or you're not on the same page with the quarterback or you have the referee get involved it makes things look a little disjointed but it was never terrible it was probably it was ranked what around 15 maybe 16 but they weren't even trying... I mean did those two losses did it really matter if the offense was clicking if the defense wasn't stopping anybody we weren't gonna win those games..
Not quite the narrative @RonnieT24 was going for though, huh?
Something was off. And I too hope that dak throwing a little further downfield helps open up lanes for the runners cause it's been slow going for pollard this year.
First.. the word is "complementary. Complimentary means saying nice things about someone or some thing. Second, you have completely whiffed on the "fundamental ideology" of complementary football. It is not that "scoring fewer points is better" rather it is that "scoring points while limiting the opponent's ability to score points is better."
Whatever.
Yeah honestly it was more so the execution like you said. Maybe Mike was feeling things out. He should know his teams strength by now.
Every team Bill Parcells coached played that way.. He was moderately successful everywhere he went. Also to your point about 24 points in 20 minutes vs 28 points in 15. If the scoring 28 points in 15 minutes leaves your defense worn out and the other team overruns them later in the game. If you're playing against a team that is just as good or better on offense then absolutely just trying to beat them in a track meet is sheer folly. Also if you play a team with a good defense you aint scorin 28 points in 15 minutes and if you continue to operate like you are then you keep handing the ball back to the other team's offense before your defense can even get Gatorade.
Bill Parcells hasn't coached in almost 20 years lol. Nothing he did is relevant today.
I think you need something in between. It’s foolish taking chances on every drive when you have an elite defense. It’s just as foolish to get so conservative as MM has at times. They did open it up a bit this eeek and should continue, you can actually have bith safe, quick routes and down the field routes on the same play and Mike needs to do that. And keep moving lamb around so it’s hard to double or jam him
You're making your own point since I have never said anything of the kind. Scoring is good.. scoring while beating down the opposing defense and keeping the opposing offense on the sideline is better. If you disagree then fine. You're not changing my mind about that. You keep arguing against a silly straw man about fewer points being better. My argument is about having the ball more WHILE scoring points. You keep wanting to pretend not to understand that.
How is the offense playing off the defense ? I’m assuming you are excluding the Rams game?
The offense doesn't, not as a strategy anyway.
The facts are literally right there bolded. Right now, you throw the ball to win.
Not really.
No that's ball control offense, not complimentary football. You do that to keep your defense off the field, like all those bad defenses we had. Totally different now.
That's the same thing.
How do you feel it's the same thing? In one scenario you want your defense off the field as much as possible so they don't lose the game, and in our scenario we want the defense fresh so they can win the game. Whats there to understand? It's complimentary cause the offense moves the ball and keeps the defense fresh. Redzone looks like it's starting to click.
