Quote:I think his point was that, last year (and in previous years honestly) the offense was bad enough that teams, when they go up on us, don't feel the need to keep scoring points. Whereas this year, they know that if they don't keep attacking, at some point our offense will have an explosion of big plays that can give us the game.

 

Last season and before, when teams got up on us, even if they are just "controlling" the clock, you know the game was over. Rarely was that the case this season.

 

Maybe, but most teams in the NFL prefer to pour it on now a days, ie New England Patriots.  It's practice time against a terrible defense.

 

Our run defense actually wasn't that bad...the best way for them to move the ball was to throw down field and score points.  We made back up qb's look like perennial pro bowlers.
