We just don't have that anymore. Kelce's older, Hill and Watkins are gone. Hopkins and JJSS aren't guys that are going to just beat their guy anymore. Worthy can but comes with warts of his own. The running game has zero explosion (and not a lot more even with Pacheco around; he has no wiggle to speak of).
It's just a team that has to be creative and precise in its execution.
That's HARD to do for 17 games. Some days they just won't.
But maybe when it's win or go home for everyone in the post-season, they can be counted on to simply turn that level of execution up to 11.
But no, it's just not the sort of team that has the raw talent to go beat guys on ability.

You don't always realize at the time what you've got but those 18/19 offenses were just unreal talent wise.
