Sorry, I am pro attack attack and attack
1) Chiefs
2) Bucs
3) Bills
3 of the top offenses in the final four with great tempo on their offense.
I may have changed my opinion on Rodgers of being the greatest QB ever just because he took too much time when trailing by 18 points. He burned up so much time piddling between plays it reminded me of the "Just Got It Off" series that cost the Rams the superbowl the year the Eagles won it. The Packers may have had a better chance to get the ball back at the end and influence the play calling of the Bucs, but Green Bay was using the entire play clock trailing by 18 points in the third quarter and probably burned an extra 3+ minutes from not being in the hurry up.
When you are in the hurry up, the defense is normally on their heals and rattled. I rarely not see the hurry up not work in fact.
Rodgers is considered by many to be the king of comebacks. He can definitely drive the field in 50 seconds or less.
Is this one of the weaknesses of the ball control/ToP philosophy of LaFleur and McVay? Under McVay, I have never seen the same Goff that I saw at Cal that could drive the field in 50 seconds. Is it a mindset thing? Is it because McVay still wants to control play calling even in a 2 minute drill that becomes 4?
Usually teams practice their 2 minute over and over and know what plays they will run so they don't even need to huddle.
I think my overall point of this whole topic is that McVay does not like the hurry-up/no huddle unless he absolutely needs it. Even then it struggles because it's so against his overall philosophy on how to win.
