I agree to a certain extent. While points are unparallelled in their value, the way our offense is driving the ball, resting the defense and getting in position to score show huge strides in our ability to compete in the NFL. I know the old saying: close only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades- but I think it also counts in a sixteen game season with a very good coaching staff. What I mean is I absolutly believe we will score more points/ per game as the season goes on and the turnovers will fade. Why? Because it is all we have to work on. Think about that. Last year we couldn't line up right, remember the snap count or complete passes to open recievers who are 10 yeards away. This year we can execute the offense which allows our coaching staff to focus on one or two problems. That is a much better position to be in than having to go over formations and snap counts.
