I could not care less what basic counting stats say about our offense and defense.
I watch the defense, knowing what they’re working with personnel wise, and I broadly think “wow, impressive effort and plan… giving us a chance.”
Then I watch the offense, knowing what they’re working with, and I broadly think “wtf? This looks disjointed, easy to defend, and wasteful. We’ve got no real chance with this”
And if I was responsible for this program and in a decision making role, I’d be really trying to find the answers to that “wtf?” question. It’s been the difference between a successful season and a disappointment so far.
