Offensive Performance

[Harry]

The league is scoring points are a record rate. Even losers like the Cowboys are averting nearly 32 points a game. The Cards with their supposed innovative, high-scoring offense are averaging less than 25 points per game. I’m concerned.

I don't think it's the scheme. It's the execution. We're missing a lot of plays and leaving points on the field. Running and passing. Got to clean it up, especially Kyler.

 

[Ronin]

Cowboys putting up points = empty calories.

The game is already out of hand when they start scoring.

All teams in the top 10 have QBs who are in their 3rd year or greater.

Bengals are the only team with a QB more inexperienced than Murray and a better PPG.

Kliff cant create a proper gameplan if his life depended on it unfortunately.

Thats the biggest problem

Really disagree with this and a lot in this thread. I think people are seeing what they want to see. It is a QB's responsibility to make the most of the opportunities they play call gives them. The plays being called are giving Kyler options and also taking into account the quality of our offensive line. I see guys running open every week. I see passes being missed every week. No matter the play call, if Kyler isn't reading the defense and delivering the ball, our offense can't be at it's best. Could Kliff be better...yes. But Kyler has significantly more room to improve.

I think fans always want to blame the coach because it’s easier to swallow than realizing your favorite player isn’t as good as you thought.

On the 1st drive he went for a back foot floater to Kirk that was nearly an INT instead of the easy pass to Fitz for the 1st down. If that doesn't sum up the current issues I don't know what does.

His plays are actually pretty good. WRs often open, many options.

dare I say Chopper is growing on me? im still figuring out the characters here

Me personally

Play calling and play design are two completely different types of coaching strengths.

Kliff is a very good play designer, I wont deny that.

His issue that he is unable to create a scheme that gets his team comfortable for 10-15 drives.

Watch Joe Brady (Carolina Panthers OC)

what the plays he calls. He is always calling plays to his qb and wrs strength.

Nothing fancy, just smart personnel based playcalling over the stint of an entire game.

Don't make it weird.

He has a veteran QB. That means he has someone to execute the play and get out of it if the defense is not optimal. Kliff doesn't have that.

LMAO

To be fair, I thought that this would be Kliffs strong point. Its actually a deficiency

Another of your brillant hot takes.

 

[TaylorSwift]

Its no hot take, its been an issue of his since his texas tech days.

There is a reason why the man was a middling college coach

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

I thought the offensive gameplan and execution was fine today.

 

[legend]

73% 380 yards passing 10+ yards per . . .

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

We played like an NFL offense today. No more college level bullcrap.

I feel like the offense grew a lot together today and Kyler is going to get better and better if they keep playing today's style of football.

The constant calls for throws behind the line of scrimmage has stunted his growth

Yeah!

They were crap at recruiting top rated defenders, and in case this passed you bye, he wasn't a 'D" coordinator.

There is no excuse when you have Patrick Mahomes as your qb and you can only muster a 8 win season.

I think Kliff is great at lot of things, but he has to improve on a lot of things too.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Murray played much better even though he left 5-6 plays on the field.
