Not struggling at all. generally when fans or announcers talk about a team being too conservative they are talking about running the ball. Footballoutsiders actually tracks a teams percentage of runs called with a lead in the second half just to show which teams are most conservative.
When you tried to include short passes as proof of being too conservative I pointed out that a couple of teams that both ran the ball more than us and depended more on short passes (lower yds per attempt) had top 5 scoring offenses.
When you claimed that you were at the Pittsburgh game and saw them throw nothing but check downs I pointed out that the Bengals went deep twice early in the second half.
At this point you responded that all of my facts were just BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
Looks like you are the one struggling. And notice that I am posting FACTS not opinions.
