I understand and agree to disagree. We're not good enough to only have a few bites at the apple and our defense is good enough to minimize what the other side can do. I think that given enough bites at it we will execute. We are that good on offense. I simply, at this point trust the defense more than the offense. Within reason, I don't think this defense needs to be protected with time of possession.
There is no getting around odds so feel free to believe whatever you want. The cold reality is that in football, every possession you give your opponent without increasing your lead is a gift of win probability to them. Even if you have the better offense, defense, athletes and coaching.
“more plays” is not universally good—it is good only when:
they are offensive plays
they are efficient
they consume clock
and they turn into points
Anything else is just giving the opponent another coin flip—and upset math lives off of coin flips.
Again, the problem Saturday night was not a lack of opportunity to make plays. It was a lack of execution. They did not produce points.
Going forward, nothing else needs change. Day has beaten talented teams before with the exact same fundamental structure. His approach is not the problem, it was just one outcome.
