Look at it this way. I don't know the yardage stats but I would bet that those teams are all well over 200 yards a game passing. They get plays in the passing game that are over 15 yards. That means they don't have to have 10-15 play drives to score. Yes it's good if you can do that but defenses are too good. You have to be able to score on let's say 4-7 play drives sometimes.

Plus those teams don't come out and try and establish the run at all costs. They play 3rd down offense on 1st down where it is a little easier to get big passing plays. We never play 3rd down offense on 1st down. Do you ever see JC in shotgun on 1st down? No.

Understood. Who needs a "silly stat line" when anecdotal observations and unquantifiable assertions are the name of the game.

Looks like we have the makings of a good discussion.
