2) There are huge innovations like some of the things you've listed, but also small tweaks and changes to offenses/defenses. The Shanahan offense. The Vic Fangio defense, etc. While they might not be doing anything drastically different formationally, the way they attack defenses/offenses have developed over the years to be ultra effective.
3) Yes, but this is essentially my point. This offense works because we have 3 elite talents at the 2 most important positions on offense.
4) Crediting the offense for those post-season run is a stretch. We averaged 233 yards & 22 points a game (remove the fumble return TD, 23 ppg if you keep it). Those numbers would be good for last place in yards per game (by 20 yards) and 16th in ppg in 2024.
We started out poorly, got hot for 3 games, and our offense has been poor the last 2 weeks. I'm not sure what starting slow has much to do with this conversation, since we're back in an offensive rut.
We disagree, and that is fine.
