I want our offense to be more aggressive. But right now our best shot is to run long drives and cut out the mistakes. Which also helps out our defense. A 4 yard pass to Noah gray may be unsexy but it’s better than an incompletion on an aggressive pass that sets up 3rd and long. It’s less about throwing more to kelce into triple coverage and more about spreading targets to our other TEs and RBs. Kelce and rice can eat much of the rest.

We're committing penalties all over the place, including our OL. Our execution simply isn't precise enough for the short, plodding drives. And its made all the more problematic by the fact that we built an OL for pass pro and not power running so we don't really have the ground and pound element to fall back on either.
I feel like turning this into the 2016 offense is simply putting a cap on the offense that we won't be able to overcome. Run it like you're trying to win a championship and not a soft division. We can win a soft AFC West doing what you're suggesting - we're not winning a title doing that.
