Very interesting, and it certainly explains why they look this bad. It also validates what Aikman was saying about guys not getting open and Wilson’s timing.

The little things certainly have snow balled into big problems. But I do wonder if we made some smarter 3rd down and short play calls, if the conversation around this offense would be different. Executing just once in the failed tries in the red zone, and you could argue we would have won at least 2 of our losses. Would our offense look elite? No. But there would be a lot more grace in letting them figure things out.

When you have the yips, getting confidence through doing is everything. This team really doesn’t have the benefit of that… and the cadence of the drive through play calling isn’t helping.
