You can't be a winner in any avenue in any aspect of life being too scared to play/live. You will always be mediocre, which is what we have become since Gibbs came back.

I think you hit the nail on the head.
There a saying about risk and money: 'scared money don't make none'
Imo scoring in the NFL is all about risk management.
If you are scared to take risks in the RZ and on the goalline you won't score.
Teams are simple not going give up a rushing TD w/o a fight.
Imo you have to have your passing game on point in the RZ and goalline.
And our RZ/goalline playcalling was lacking.
In my memory most of the QBs that put up a big number benefit from creative goalline play passing, usually from playaction.
Our goalline offense and playcalling has been timid.
It was timid last year and thus far in preseason it has remained timid.
3 runs then a timeout to kick a FG? C'mon its preseason, grow a pair.

Sorry about my diatribe.
Just getting ansty for the Pats game.
I don't think we're ready.
And imo our passing game is going to be the key to the season.

HTTR!
