So you agree.
We have been desperate for years for a defence that regularly creates turnovers and give the offence extra possessions. Now we cant win like that because it is unsustainable? Why did we bother adding playmakers to the defence then? If we can keep applying pressure on the offence then turnovers are sustainable. What isn't susntainable is repeatedly kicking FGs in the redzone. That has to change in order to get to the conference title.
Yes.. That’s why a lot of us are upset.
The offense has been underperforming for awhile now but the worst part is our QBs accuracy & decision making.
Followed by WR drops.
Followed by coaches overplaying Zeke and underplaying Pollard.
We are now winning with a championship formula
-Defenses
-turnovers battle
-running game
-smart, less risky offense
Is it sexy? No
however we have beaten
-Patriots
-Chargers
-Saints @ NO
-Vikings @ minny with a backup qb
-swept the East
-completely demolished the falcons
many of these are playoff teams or teams who still have a shot at the playoffs
Teams don’t want to see us because we are a very, very good team
It's funny how everyone fails to realize that Elliott has gotten more carries. No way Pollard can carry the load through a 17 game season like him. Neither back would be as good without the other.
The way we are winning is unsustainable. We can't keep counting on 4 turnovers a game. We are struggling offensively against bad teams and have been for seven weeks now.
I guess you didn't understand my point. The first game we don't dominate with turnovers, we're going to lose because the offense isn't capable of scoring points, even with all the extra possessions. I'm not complaining about the D, just that they cannot keep up this pace forever, and the offense won't be there to pick up the slack.
Good teams find a way to winI don't care how we're winning as long as we're winning.
All of this is false.

You don’t necessarily need turnovers if they keep failing on 3rd down. Keep ‘em punting…Our offense will figure it out.The way we are winning is unsustainable. We can't keep counting on 4 turnovers a game. We are struggling offensively against bad teams and have been for seven weeks now.
I don’t always agree with you but you’re right on target here. Zeke needs to be used less with Pollard getting the lion’s share of the snaps. Pollard being able to get to the edge And get upfield is something this offense needs. And if he gets a crease, he goes.Zeke carrying the load is basically a waste of a play.
I don’t want to hear about Zeke doing this super special thing. He’s not productive and production is all that matters.
Carrying the ball a bunch and being below average while you do it isn’t some special trait.
Also, I agree.. Pollard needs Zeke.. But it’s more for short yardage situations or once offensive momentum is established.
Right now Pollard needs more carries and a larger role than Zeke. Neither guy should be carrying the lid but Pollard should be the main guy. Zeke can be a short yardage back and a finisher at the end of games.
