misunderstanding post language? Arguing over semantics.

We are the same, Our Offense can get shut down by a good defense
Originally posted by rEspEctdA49ers:
Our primary concern, how we respond to serious defenses.
Our defense will carry us as long as we put points on the board, NO MATTER WHO WE PLAY.
They are that good, just our lack of execution on offense might distract us from their importance in someone else eyes', since they're on the field more often and are being given bigger and bigger burdens every time we don't score/convert.

Seattle is the only team with a Top 3 Pass D and Rush D, according to footballoutsiders (DVOA). Chicago is close.
I am worried about the game vs. Miami. They have a brutal Run D that would force us to pass.

I always forget that statline about SEA since I've become accustomed to Frank tearing them up every time we play.
And if MIA does hold our run game down, that'll be another test to our offense to see how we respond, but in this case, not with cute play-calling, rather smart game-planning with counters to their sets. If we're forced to pass, at least set up the big plays with a couple slants here, curl routes (which have REALLY been efficient for Alex's sake, except on 3rd down) just to get Alex and our offense in flow. Then maybe pound the ball to really open them up so now they're all out of sorts on what we're gonna do,
the icing on the cake is the PA Bomb to VD. Of course, the chances of this actually happening exactly as portrayed is very little, but this is just more of a sense of how I feel we should play. Teams that beat us HAVE to have patience, which is what we need to beat teams w/ good defenses.

More fun:
In the first 7 games last year, we faced QBs who had an average season-long QB rating of 84.75...we held them to a QB rating of 80.
In the first 7 games last year, we faced QBs who had an average season-long QB rating of 86.65...we held them to a QB rating of 73.6.
2011 - opposing QBs under-performed by 5.6%. This year? they've under-performed by 15.05%!

Remember that the knock on our offense was that we were only scoring because we got short fields, whether because of turnovers by the defense or returns by special teams. We all knew the crazy turnover margin wouldn't hold up, so could the offense improve enough to drive down the field and put up points?
In 2011 our turnover margin was +28; in 2012 it's +2.
In 2011 we averaged 23.8 points a game while the offense gained on average 310.9 yards a game.
In 2012 the offense is gaining 376.4 yards a game (much greater than last year) and scoring 23.6 points--nearly the same as last year, points-wise--showing that the offense has improved enough to score in spite of not getting those short fields consistently. And that's including a couple of real stinker games, too.
The major questions this offseason were about our offense. As a whole they aren't an "elite" unit but they have improved enough to not rely solely on the defense to put them in scoring position, which is something we can agree is a good thing.
