I really hope the balance in play calling sticks around and isn't just due to personnel playing. Obviously the playbook is going to open up more with the starters in, but I've always been more of a run to set-up the pass kinda guy. Ball control and solid defense will win a ton of games. ball control with great defense will win championships. While I would love to see a super bowl this season, I don't think we are there yet. I think we are another season or two away from seriously contending. However, - it does look like things are on the right track.
After that game I am throwing nothing out of the picture. I expected us to struggle against Tampa and then Washington and get it
together against the Phins with Burrow playing a series or two. We will see how it goes but I am very impressed with how the team
played against Tampa besides Vogel and Shurmur who are backups that we should cut when the time comes.
It does look like things are on the right track for damn sure. But who knows, preseason....
