Exactly. And it's this bend-don't-break mindset and lack of a legitimate defense that will bury this team every season. Every year. The offense is largely doing its job. In fact we're expecting them to do too much to cover for a weak unaccountable defense. It's embarrassing they're being coached this way and it's accepted by the organization. How can you expect the players on defense to collectively stand up and have some bite when they're constantly being coached to "hold on" and play so passively all game?
As much as we all agree there are personnel issues abound defensively, I believe better coaching and schemes would make a marked difference in performance.
I have no clue about x's and o's but if the defense cant stop anyone playing whatever the style is they're playing, then why not go ahead and switch it up to be uber aggressive knowing you'll get burned for huge gains or TDs every so often?
At least the D will be on the field less, they'll have to make less tackles so lower injuries and perhaps there's a small chance they'll be a little fresher at the end of the game plus you put the offense back on the field which is where all the money is spent on this team.
save the prevent stuff (or whatever it is they're doing) for the rare occasion they're up so much, its more important to kill the clock
