GuNNerGatSKi Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 7-4.... 7-4...... 7......and.... 4.....I say again....7-4. Which is to say much better than most of us with reasonable expectations anticipated. Examine: Career backup QB though I love him to death.... Rag tag WR Corp... Major injuries to O Line, D Line, and now Ta Shawn..... ....and don't forget: one of the best PLAYERS in the game today in Flash Gordon suspended up until this past game.... I would say, no emphatically proclaim, that our rookie HC and OC have done a downright fantastic job. Better than we have seen in a long long time. They are real FOOTBALL heads. At 7-4, I can only see us going up from here. So get off Shanny's jock. He has done a fine job, much better than myself and any of you armchair prognosticators could ever dream to do.

Dick Mellon Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Shanahan's offenses with CLE and WAS, rank high in yardage but lower on points. CLE ranks 10th in yards but 16th in points, indicating an efficiency problem where TD opportunities become FG's and FG opportunities become punts, or where scoring opportunities become turn-overs. CLE's efficiency problem is not as bad as what happened at WAS last season. WAS ranked 9th in yards and 23rd in points, which is such amazing inefficiency that I can't believe anyone would ever offer Shanahan a job after that. I have never seen such an appalling ratio of yards-to-points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen such an appalling ratio of yards-to-points. We know we don't have many red-zone turnovers (or turnovers in general), so it's just TD opportunities becoming FGs. I blame one of those on not running at the 6-YD line - which led to a turnover WAS had a lot more going on besides the shanahan's though (And they still do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I became somewhat of an expert on inefficient offenses while watching PIT under Bruce Arians. It's nice to see that "offensive genius" Arians continues to make a career out of winning games with defense, since he, as a coach leaves the defense alone. Notice that ARI has the #2 defense in the NFL and the #18 offense. Sound familiar? Those are the same type of stats that PIT put up year after year. I can tip-my-hat the Arians' ability to judge and select talent but aside from that . . . . . PIT put those rings on his fingers in spite of his shitty coaching. But he loves wearing those rings, even on-the-field while coaching other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
