Quote:The goal is to get this offense better. They don't have to be a top 5 offense in order for this team to see dramatic improvement in the W-L record. With the defense as good as it is, and will be in the future, having an offense that can crack the 20 point barrier that they struggled with this year would go a long way toward changing their position in the division.


He didn't have a hall of fame offense. Bulger had one HOF receiver, a very good running back, and enough talent elsewhere to assure success. The following year they had to contend with Bulger and other key and injuries. Check the roster to see what was backing those injured players up and it's pretty easy to see why the offense fell off.

Bulger had 3 hall of famers on his offense: Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, and Orlando Pace. Not to mention Steven Jackson in his prime. He had a very good offensive line in Pace, Steussie, Incognito, Timmerman, and Barron. You can try and sugar coat it all you want and act like he did more with less there, but that team was loaded, if aging, on offense.
