Time of possession

We need to win this stat every week it will help the defense mask our run D will help tremendously in winning games late if you dont have a tired defense you can close out games much easier in the NFL.

need better offensive output for that though a Strong OL and run game really helps.

We just need to get TDs, the only stat you need to win at is the score.

We were 12th in ToP in 2020 when we went 4-11-1.
We were 12th in ToP in 2021 when we went to the SB.

TD's definitely would do the job lol

But winning the TOP would help our D out. That is the thing, if we are scoring lots of TD's the other team cannot just run the ball 
as they would be playing catch up. That was the problem with this Pats game, they got the lead and just ran it. Cannot let this happen.

you can't win TOP if you have no run defense and don't know how to tackle. the league is what have you done for me lately, if this continues why is anarumo still coaching next year

How so? When your run defense only had 4 teams give up more rushing yards a season ago and only 1 team had a worse yard per attempt (4.7), and it's STILL a big concern this season, then you're rarely going to win the TOP. They simply do not have that big 1 technique NG that can command a double team AND still make a play nor do they just have that big DT that commands even a double team that can create a nice lane for a LB to fill. 

Hopefully, Jenkins can help and McKinley can help but they're going to need to play far more with the lead and try to take teams out of doing what they want to do.

Are we able to sign and trade Tee for some stud DT that will probably get hurt anyway but why does it matter because Tee only plays half the games anyway?

How many games did Chase, Boyd and Higgins miss last year? It was substantial enough to cause problems in the passing game.
