Offensive Aggro

[Hawkeye19]

We need to up our offensive game-plan, aggression and execution down the stretch. This D has held up better than anyone could have imagined-- but with Mo and Church out the next 6-8 weeks, we can't afford to go into a conservative shell.

We need points and we need to control TOP now more than ever. JG showed he has some big balls the other night-- need to keep rolling that way. This team is built around the OL and running game-- we need the offense to pick up the slack and get back to dominating teams on 3rd down and finishing drives with TDs not FGs.

We'll go as far as this offense can take us...

Minus divisional games, I believe the toughest defenses are behind us.

We are 6-1, if we beat the Browns, we can go 4-4 the second half of this season and still likely win the division. This win streak is amazing at this point.

Minnesota and Baltimore are #2 and #4 in the league, better by far than anybody we've played so far.

I agree that cashing in in the red zone with TDs is going to be extremely crucial. First and goal shud be automatic and a time to be under center with the threat to run always looming. I don't want to see us throwing three times with first and goal from the 6.

Let's ride that beast of an Oline again and again.

Maybe you are right though the Vikings seem to be faxing due to a lack of offense.

I still think we played our best front 7s so far.

Yep...I can't stand when we go shotgun when we're first and goal. Zeke should be our #1 option down there-- even if that means you shift him out wide for a swing pass, or do a nasty PA pass or read option off him. The defense is keying on him-- so to go shotgun there limits our options as it reduces/limits our run looks.

Some really good DL's for sure.

Minny isn't going to be in the top 10 if they can't keep them off the field.

Dallas can rush 100+ on the Ravens. All day.

We don't play very many truly strong offenses. So our D may be able to sustain their play for the most part.
Steelers, but they may not have Big Ben.
Commanders have been picking it up lately, so that could be a problem.
Vikings may have Peterson back, so could be an issue there.

Giants, but that depends on a few things, but that would put Mo and Barry at the 6 weeks to return time frame.
Then maybe Detroit, they can move the ball too, but then we will have Gregory back for that game.

Agree. Tony could do this but Dak is not quite ready for the empty backfield in the RZ. They need to get more creative with Zeke running in that part of the field. Just sayin.

Run. Run until their muscles burn and their veins start pumping battery acid. Then run some more.

Chicago and Eagles lit Vikings up.......our offense will control Baltimore and Minnesota. They don't have enough horses
