Settling for FGs won’t get it done in the playoffs

Imagine being unhappy with a 2-0 start that includes a +60 point differential and a +8 turnover differential. And the offensive play calling being situationally aware and considerate of the defensive as well as not revealing too much up 24-10. Crazy.

Horrible redzone execution today. Can’t leave points on the board against the Niners and Eagles.
Anytime you put 30 points on the board in the NFL you have a very high chance of winning. The way you get the points is irrelevant

So you believe the Niners or Eagles would score 31+ against this D?
You are forgetting that those teams also have defenses that will keep the game a lot more closer. Less margin of error. When the defense turns the ball over the offense needs to execute and come away with 6 more often than not.

30 points will win a lot of games. You're not getting 40 every week in this league.
You are also not getting 30 points a game in the playoffs when the caliber of opponent isn't the NY Giants or the Jets. As the season carries on, injuries take it's toll - some teams will round out to better form others won't.

Sure, but I think it is safe to trust that Mike will have schemes for them. We have competent coaches now. We don't have Garrett ball anymore.

Sure, you’d like to get more TDs, but come on..

McCarthy knew that zero mistakes, milking clock, and kicking field goals would be more than enough to win against an offense like the Jets.

He will ramp up the aggressiveness when required. But until then, let’s just enjoy these beat downs.

If you want to watch an offense chase empty stats like the Cowboys have in recent years, go watch the Chargers. And just for reference, that team is a slick 0-2.

Exactly, I think people on this forum are forgetting that we don't have Garrett ball anymore. We actually have coaches who know what they're doing.
