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.

You haven't posted anything but opinions.  A fact like a run/pass ratio is a fact, but then you have an opinion that in some way translates to a lack of conservatism.  It doesn't.  If you don't see it watching the games, good for you.  I see a boring, conservative approach on both sides of the ball and it not only impacts the results of the games, but I will add that I believe you don't get the most out of your players by playing not to lose.
