They look less fluid and more sandlot when they get close.

I agree. We can look pretty smooth going 60 yards but once we hit the 20 it looks like we're in uncharted territory with no idea what to do next. "Let's just draw a play in the sand and try it" is what it looks like. All of a sudden linemen jump and everyone looks tight. That's why I think once we get the redzone worked out we'll be a very good offense/team. But why is this happening? Of course there is less field for the defense to cover, but it looks more like we're inept then the defense is playing well. I think it's become more complex than it needs to be. Execution needs to be sharp in the redzone and that seems to be where our execution falters. When they start playing aggressive and with confidence in the redzone, that's when this team will start putting people away. It also wouldn't hurt to try to score
before we get into the redzone.
