It's hard to get a good/comforting read on what this offense is.
We've had 3 blowout wins and we still don't really know how good this offense is.
It's just one game, but the redzone deficiencies are very concerning.
Without all of the Defense TD's, those blowout games could have turned into close wins or tight losses.
The Offense seems pretty pedestrian and doesn't provide much confidence when facing better teams.
I am very concerned that SF will really expose this offense.
This type of play won't succeed against them.

I dunno, were killing it on TOP though, thats really important on both defenses.
Were getting to the redzone at least so were getting points regardless. Turnovers are a minimum.

Offense needs a tweak in the redzone but overall is not an issue, of course big test next weekend

On the Bright Side this team will be unstoppable when they finally figure out the Red Zone offense

We can’t win a shoot out with any good team. Our QB isn’t built for it. Get down 2 scores and stick a fork in us. We’ll go as our defense goes.

We need Trey Lance for this upcoming game if we want any chance to win. QB carousel needs to be activated in situations like these.

Our offense has been as good as any team between the 20s. They move the ball virtually at will, and have several 10+ play drives. Our D gets plenty of rest because of it

They just need to finish drives with TDs.

I think we can pickup on plenty of things on the offense. Short passing game is working well. Its more efficient and really helps the defense stay rested. Its also helping us get early leads as the offense rarely stalls and gets points early.

Oline is a big problem thus far. Run game is effective, but its not a weapon at this point. The ypc overall with all the backs is down. Thats a tell tale sign the Oline is the issue. Or you could just watch the games.

Team is a little rusty with the new offense and the changes. Redzone is definitely an issue at this point. We havent seen a deep passing attack at all. Cook as had little impact. Blowouts are part of the issue.

Its early, but at this point the offense has taken a step back. Will this change when the Oline improves? We shall have to see.

Like you I lack confidence in their ability to score points against the Niners or Eagles of the world if the defense doesnt show up.

I don't get it? O produced 16 points, by itself would have won by 13.

The simple fact is that ANY offense "will be pedestrian" when you have two Pro Bowlers out, your starting center out. More points will come when you have them. Many of the red zone FGs will become running TDs, but not a moment before.

After watching that 49ers game and seeing Brock Purdy play, our QB looks like he's playing in molasses by comparison. Definitely seeing the weak link on offense.
So you watched Purdy hand the ball off to McCaffrey all day as he had 4 rushing TD's?

Funny how you trolls have to get creative cutting up Dak now with the new rule. You just dont mention his name, but make it obvious who you are talking about. Gotta admire the creativity and dedication to your affliction.

Another blowout win by the Cowboys and its killing you. LOL

Gotta love your pain.

Go Niners right? You will have to all but disappear if we beat them.

Tbh, most these games are over before half time. Offense probably wont be high power and a top 5. But we can maintain long drives and put something up. I sure MM will continue to work on this on the RZ but I'm not worried.

Also yesterday I realize this they will mak some narrative against the boys. We score and that's not good enough.

We would have won every game we have won of you take away the points scored by the defense.

I think we can all agree the offense is struggling in the redzone. And yes, I agree it has a lot to do with the Oline.

But Tyron is going to be in and out of the lineup all year. I hope the offense is better than this at some point. We wont be winning diddly in the playoffs kicking FG's.

Besides us the 3 best teams in the NFC are the Niners, Eagles, Lions. All 3 of those team have great Olines and can really run the football. They can score points. This offense is going to have to find its footing. We will probably have to beat at least 2 of those teams to make the SB.

It is called complimentary football. You know, a TEAM game.

Sometimes one unit needs to step up at times to give some help.
So Dallas gets a lead (no matter how they gets that lead), and the defense can tee off on an offense.

You heard Olsen, say that the DE's do not want to come out of the game, because they know NE had to pass. So they can go do what they are supposed to do.
No, it is not stat padding for sacks, it is called....FOOTBALL....

If you listen to MM press conferences, he made it clear, if the defense is balling out, he would call plays accordingly. I don’t count the Arizona game. It sucks but 3 out of 5 o lineman starting was not conducive to any breakout performance. Penalties damn sure didn’t help. But MM explained that the team performance today was exactly what he envisioned. Defense resting, offense playing efficient.
