Playcalling today is lackluster

Sense of urgency is about to change. I expected them to start off this way.

Can’t stare down your receiver.

I am really shocked that a few good throws by Geno in last week's first half made people think that a PC offense can be winning in the NFL and also be entertaining.

We really haven't seen that for six years. Somehow a guy that was on pace for MVP and got traded for multiple first rounders was the scapegoat for a JV offense even when former player called it such

Russ is on the downside and Russ had a chance to prove something the past 1.5 years, but Hawks decided the time was now to get better. Geno is not the answer.

Winning is entertaining. If Penny and Walker combine for a 4.2 to 4.5 YPC with Geno throwing 10 passes a game, and we win, I'll cheer like crazy. That's plenty entertaining for me. Consistent 350-400 yard passing games are great for fantasy stats (and I get that's what the current rules encourage), but smash-mouth is fun to watch.

I get your point but winning when going 3 and out more than most teams with a bend but try not to break offense isn't entertaining.

Looking at KC and Buffalo and thinking that is about fantasy stats and not an awesome way to play is strange to me. Doesn't mean you can't like a Baltimore team with a smash mouth style.

All three of those teams moves the ball consistently
