Dallas decided they’re just going to force it to CeeDee no matter what. Jacksonville is all about very quick decisions and spreading targets everywhere. Houston and Green Bay are pure **** it just Chuck it offenses. Stroud has some of the worst accuracy metrics but he’s just fearless. I would love to see the chiefs do what Jacksonville did last night which was just a beautifully designed offense, but Houston is a great example of not needing all world weapons… you just need guys who can go up and get any ball. It’s interesting you’re seeing these types of teams emerge in the second half of the season.
Buffalo and the chargers seem to have regressed for similar reasons. Two QBs who are too reliant on their primary options, though buffalo may be starting to evolve since the moved away from 12-13 personnel (not necessarily by choice) and into 3 wr sets.
So in terms of where the puck needs to go I think these teams give some clues to where we need to go.

Citing Jacksonville is a good point.
Without Chark, they have good weapons but not amazing ones. Ridley/Jones /Engram is a step above our best 3 (whatever that may be) but by no means world beaters.
And that offense was just run better. The timing was better. The spacing was better. Everything just looked better than what we've been doing all year.
And that's a really similar scheme to ours just...run better.
I don't think the difference in weapons is what created that broad a gulf. We simply aren't executing at a high level. And the rotation is weird. I just think there are some pretty hard questions that have to be asked of this offensive coaching staff right now, especially when you see teams doing 'our' thing but better than we do it.
