A case could be made that the injury situation has hampered the use of the full playbook due to the several combinations of lineman that have been used...which, just adds to the problem and I think that's what you mean by a vanilla offense.And at the end of the day, this. If the dude can't get the job done the way it needs to be, then the FO will get someone else, in the same way they got rid of the last guy who couldn't.
But the damn near celebration that happens whenever either the D struggles or now the O has a down game is laughable and embarrassingly transparent. 3 weeks ago, it was what, ' the offense is great, but the D sucks '? ... because a certain HC runs it.
Now, the D is playing well, but there's no retraction of the position. Just silence, and instead, Geno, who was part of the solution a few weeks ago, is no longer the answer. Why? Lets be honest... because he's the qb and not Wilson. Wilson... he who 2 years ago, should have been retained and the HC, GM and hapless owner, put out to pasture so Jeff Besos could buy the team and together with Russ, ship Dangerwhich sandwiches to every doorstep in America and plaster every TV with Prime Vid original 'Russell Wilson - Unlimited Everything'.

To quote Soulfish, some need to 'get over it' and understand that it's a football game we are watching and not Game of Thrones. There's no sense in jockeying for favorites and allowing passion for a player, or disdain for a player or coach trump what should be an objective view of what happens on the field. We are all better for having substanaitive conversations about plays , performance and strategy, without picking sides.
We are now afforded an opportunity to see pretty clearly when why and how plays and strategy on the offensive side of the ball either succeeds or fails. That's because whether you like him or not, our QB can run an NFL offense. If the plays are called and what should work, doesnt because Geno cant execute, we will know. If it's Waldron calling a crap game and giving the QB poor options because his plan is vanilla, we will know. The 'yeah, we can't sustain offense but the qb threw for 4 tds and 270 yards days have passed down to Denver... or not.
Geno is a good (top 10 good) NFL qb. Whether he is good enough to bring us a championship has yet to be proven or disproven.
