  1. we are ball control on o, we have a sick OL and run game, so that's the story so far on o (aside from cracking 30 points every time they play a game, and no TOs).

     

    i think we have a bit of a pass game identity and outside wr problem.  we don't have anyone who can stress the d deep.  a nico collins or that scary terry guy in dc would make this o look like a madden game.  we don't have that tho, and while coleman is showing improve he's just not there yet.

     

    i think we need to shift even more to the multiple TE sets.  aside from maybe the ravens or eagles who can just body up on any team, i don't think many nfl teams do much against that.

  2. ever since brady took over, or totals in production have been quite similar to the totals we had with dabol and dorsey, but the variance has plummeted, and we have a viable run game.

     

    the 22 season when josh's shenanigans took his head out of the game vs cinci, and we had absolute stiffs like roger staffold rounding out the bases on his way to retirement at, we lost 3 regular season games by a total of 8 or so points in ridiculous fashion (a one pointer where we out gained maimi by like 200 yards, the total multiple melt down game at home vs minni with the fumbled qb sneak and all time catch by jj on 4th and forever, and i think to the jests who were in tough that year, we woulda lost to cinci as well).  before losing von to injury (and other guys too) that team was a monster, with cook at rb, von and them at DL, and a healthy all pro milano, but that team just never felt like they had the chops to put together a script to win, and needed hines of all people to save us at the end of the season vs NE after hamlin incident.

     

    i have trouble with brady for his small ball tendencies, but the net of it is we have consistent mistake free insane offensive production on the offensive side of the ball.  our d has faltered in the playoffs, but what looks different to me vs prior years is that while we let up 4 awful drives (one stopped with a great pick at the end) vs the fish, they mostly got smashed and their overall numbers were pretty weak last night.  after getting smoked by balti all day, we got stops when we needed.  jets we dominated but who cares.  in contrast to prior years, it was just always a slow slow death of a thousand cuts and we were even worse on 3rd down that we have looked this season, and so far we are missing like four to six quality players ever time we put our d out (milano, oliver, hoyt, african anabol, rookie corner, someone else who might step up).

     

    so that long winded effort poast is to say, our conservative O is what we need right now, and if we didn't miss that cake FG late in the first half we likely just waltz to a 3 score victory where miami is never in position to get close, so i'll take it.
