4th best offense in the NFL

Just a rumour and thankfully he'll be staying put, so we can enjoy many more threads like this. :roll:
I think it's incredible how much two great games will change the narrative (and the statistics) in a 16-game season.
About midway through the season, we were leading the league in drives ending with a punt, and worst in the league in the red zone. There were all sorts of additional horrific offensive statistics we could throw out there.
Sure. And I'll just repeat what I've said before about the complexity of coaching this offense.
You've got a head coach who wants to be the best scrambling team in the NFL while preaching ball control. You have a 5-10 quarterback who is a great improviser and often chooses to move around instead of trusting the pocket. You have an offensive line coach who has complete control of the running game and the O-line personnel. The O-line, incidentally, was historically terrible to start the season. You also have the pressure of making sure Marshawn Lynch gets all his touches and providing the new shiny tight end who cost a first round pick with enough catches to avoid that being a talking point. And oh yeah, that tight end who doesn't want to and can't block? Yeah we're going to make him block because it's what we do.
Name me another offensive coordinator that has to deal with all this. Is it any wonder they started the season struggling?
And despite all of this, 12 weeks in they're the #4 offense in the league.
And everyone wants to replace the OC.
