'WIN' mode includes such uncharactisteric methods as lobbing the ball twice 50yds into the air over the middle to Santana Moss, with 4 minutes left in a game. against important divisional rivals such as DALLAS for instance..

you see 'WIN' goes a step further than 'not lose' (since we've been 'not losing' here steadily at 2-5). 'WIN' actually means 'MAKE the OTHER team lose' and is in fact the preferred method of GOOD TEAMS.

If we are just trying not to lose with our offense, which to me say's just don't turn the ball over, then why do we spend all this money on offensive weopons, kind of like building a race car and then pushing it around the track because your worried your driver might crash. You no what, GET ANOTHER DRIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!! What a great way to put it Offiss!!..Maybe it's because Gibbs dragraced in the 60s? That is the best comparison i've seen on here.
Kudos!
Makes absolutely no sense, but what hell do we know right?

Well, I think there are two correct ways to look at this, and neither mention Mark Brunell in any way. Number one is that we shouldn't have made the moves because they clash with our offensive style. Number two is that we play a safe style of offense, and it's our new additions that have allowed us to reach a respectable level of offensive production. Was it worth it to get BOTH Lloyd and Randle El? I never at any point thought it was. David Patten would have been more than capable as the no. 3 WR.

But something has caused us to improve offensively over last year. Either it was the additions, the new offense, the quarterback, or pure luck. Or the two quarters of garbage time weve had this year...which somehow didn't exist last year.
