Until we get our injured players back.
I know hind sight is 20/20 and BB/TB/JM/MP have more football knowledge on the tips of their pinky nails than I ever will in my life. That said, the past two weeks we've lost games by which we were up by 14 -- games I believe we would have won had we proceeded with a more conservative approach.
Lately it seems when we get a good lead we try to go for the 'nail in the coffin'. Normally I'd be all for it, but with all our injuries it just seems that we would be better off playing it conservatively and bleed the clock. I know our running game isn't all that, but it seems we give up too easily on it and are willing to put it all on TB. No one else I would trust of course, but there's only so much he can do with so many new people.
Back when we won 2 out of 3 could you ever see BB being so aggressive with a lead? Our D was great back then but our Offense wasn't that great so we were fairly conservative. Its almost the same now, our Offense with all the injuries isn't all that great, but our D is quite good so I think we should be more conservative in our play calling and rely on the D to make the stops... at least until our players return from injuries.
