The problem is in the gameplan. This team plays extremely safe because they believe in the defense so much. Until something changes and our defense sucks, we can expect to see the same super safe play on offense.

We learned today we can't always depend on the defense. Don't get me wrong, the defense is excellent but there will be teams like today where they will have the defenses number. This was the day our offense needed to win the game for us and they didn't do that. We have all these weapons on offense and don't even use them. Its almost a waste of the signings. Its great to play conservative, but only when you have the lead. We didn't have the lead at all today.

Maybe this game will make them realize that our defense isnt invincible so they might be a little bit more aggressive than usual.

agreed. We can't always rely on 8-10 play drives in games like today when we're trailing.

Totally agree. We just never got the tempo up.
