Re: Offense

For years this offense feels out the defense for the first 2 possessions then exploits mismatches. If those mismatches are found in the 1st possession, we march down the field fairly easily those first couple of possessions. But if we can't cop a good feel in those first 2 (i.e. @ CLE), the 1st quarter offense looks rancid. I've noticed this over the years in the Payton/Brees era. However, they make the necessary adjustments in-game most of the time if the initial offensive game plan flops due to penalties, turnovers, O-line blocking (or lack thereof), being behind on the scoreboard, etc...

Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I taking Crazy Pills?

Our offense has always been good at making adjustments, that's why you see Brees and Carmichael studying the photos after a drive is done
Our offense normally gets on track even if they do begin the game struggling, example vs Miami in 2009 - brees threw 3 picks in the first half, second half we outscored the dolphins 43-8

The D look like no adjustments are being made, infuriating to watch
