How can this offense be fixed before our playoff game?

Expecting Dak to be Flacco in 2012 playoffs QB.
Foles in 2017/18 playoffs QB.
Peyton Manning in 2015.

There are tons of examples who delivered in playoffs but were pathetic during regular season.

So we did it. We made the playoffs. Congrats to our Boys.


I think this defense is legit. The bend don't break philosophy irritates me sometimes, but we have a defense that will allow us to compete with the best teams in the playoffs.

Now the offense, thats a whole other story. What can we do to fix this offense, to avoid being 1 and done again?

1. Fire Scott Linehan.
2. Go to an up-tempo offense more often.

I really want to be a super fan and believe we’ve gone into a shell knowing we had a good shot of winning one of the last 3 games not putting out quality film out there

I really want to believe but then linehan runs a jet sweep in the redzone on 2nd down.... were foooooked

It will take Aaron Rogers, a whole lotta cash, and a skilled make-up artist/plastic surgeon.

Here's hoping the offense has been playing "rope a dope" all year.

 

[mattjames2010]

Will be great if our two “awesome” offensive players stop fumbling the football.

At this point.....it is what it is. The real problem will be "What does this team do to prepare for a Playoff opponent".....come out flat?

Ya the offense is why we went 6-1 lol

The defense scored how many points?

If this defense was mediocre Dallas would have 2 wins right now.

Please. This is a complementary game. All three phases work together.

And if the other team was dropping 30-40 points a game this offense wouldnt keep up. Simple as that.

Everything changes if they become more efficient in the red zone. A lot of these close nailbiters become 10+ point laughers if they're even average converting in the red zone.

You can't win unless you're in. We here.

Santa brings Linehan some ingenuity and different play designs for Christmas. Oh...and brings Prescott some accuracy, pocket presence and consistency.

Sorry guys and gals, celebrating Festivus so I'm doing the airing of grievances right now.

There is an ebb and flow to the game. The offense is in better shape than most think. The objective is to score more than the opponent. It doesn’t matter if that is 40 points or 2 points.

The offense is one of the worst in the league. They can score sometimes but they make too many mistakes.

My point is that this is a unique team in an unique situation. Enjoy the ride.

Nice way of saying the offense stinks

Then why do you watch? Go be a Saints fan. They have idiotic play calling where the backup Qb throws a 50 yard bomb that gets picked in the end zone. Just dumb *** play calling.

Have another QB behind center! Only way I know how...
