"heroic" isnt the best adjective.
Chargers vs. Everyone

Improvement in the offense will come in the form of early down and 3rd quarter consistency. We needed way too many heroic drives last year.

if you can’t find such a team, then we can agree such an expectation is not possible in the world of humans and you are, in fact, requesting heroics.
Interesting you have to make up an argument no one said, is your position that lame?

I’ll drop it when you drop it. Your position is in conflict with the data but yeah - mine is lame. Right.“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

eye understand the strain it puts on the D, relatively speaking, and understand that it can undermine TOP, and.... the one addition I would like to see this season is the longball.... Herb is just too good of a longballer not to implement/take advantage of the such.5/11 Fuaga, 37 Kamari Lassiter, 40 Sinnott, 67 Bralen Trice, 69 Cedric Gray, 105 Jaylen Wright, 110 Braelon Allen, 140 Joe Milton, 181 Khristian Boyd, Tylan Grable, 225 Daijun Edwards, 253 Miyan Williams

If HC Staley's team concepts take hold, the O, D & STs support each other, we're a playoff team. The personnel adds point in that direction. Still gotta do it.
