Do we have the best offense EVER?

The Dude · 09-25-2011, 04:00 PM

I am very pessimistic when it comes to our team. I hold them to the highest standard and expect the best from them, as I know they are quite capable. Anyone here who knows me knows I am not a homer. That being said, I believe we may just have the best offense to ever hit the field in the NFL. We have absolutely TORCHED 3 of the top defenses in the league and we have done it without Colston. I can only imagine the points we would put up against a crappy defense. I do not think we will play any defenses close to as good as what we have already faced for the rest of the regular season. HOw good do you guys think this offense is? Could it be the best ever?

Dude - this is a big change from the start of the 4th quarter!!

We are good. I do not think the best ever.

If we start running the ball better I will get back to you!!

Its hard to run the ball against teams like Houston and GB when we have to match them score for score and are playing from behind. I think our running game will gel, we just have not really had the opportunity to get into any kind of rythem.

We do not have the best offense ever. It's good...so far. WHY DON"T WE RUN MORE?

Hard to establish the run when we are playing from behind. At this point I dont care. We are putting up 30+ points every game. Balance will come.

You're extremely wrong. Here are the stats.
2006 472 attempts for 1761 yards for 19 TDs and 3.7 ypc vs 554 pass attempts
2007 392 attempts for 1466 yards and 14 TDs and 3.7 ypc vs 652 pass attempts
2008 398 attempts for 1594 yards and 20 TDs and 4.0 ypc vs 635 pass attempts
2009 468 attempts for 2106 yards and 21 TDs and 4.5 ypc vs 514 pass attempts
2010 380 attempts for 1519 yards and 9 TDs and 4.0 ypc vs 661 pass attempts

We had our most success when rushing attempts were over 450 and pass attempts were under 600 in 2006 (nfc championship game) and 2009 (Super Bowl).

Right now we're on pace for 384 rush attempts and 693 pass attempts. That's not our "recipe for success" and it's certainly not what I would call "running the ball."
