This would hold a lot more weight to me if it wasn't pretty much the standard gameplan for every time Marrone thinks our defense outclasses an offense. The low scoring, slug it out, hyper conservative, pray for a defensive touchdown in the second half type of game happens way more often than what happened in week 2. I think what we saw Sunday was Marrone's preferred style of playing games, but unfortunately sometimes he plays offenses that he thinks we'll need to score more against so we'll get the occasional Steelers/Patriots gameplan.

While I dislike responding to boorish behavior, I would like to point out that the coaching style across the NFL is numbers-based. More often than not, teams play the odds; they have to. There is too much uncertainty on any given play to be able to manage risk any other way.

I don't think I necessarily care for it,  but if you don't see the reason behind it, then maybe try another sport. That, or understand why you are seeing what you are seeing.
