re: This is the Catastrophe Syndrome in slow motion

The D is fine position. We're missing a game changer in the return game with blazing speed (ditto on offense...though Dural is pretty fast ). We're going overboard with trying to impose our will. We don't take enough chances on offense and we don't mix up what we're doing at all. We let them know what is coming and dare the D to stop it. That's fine when it is working, but when it does not, we have no backup plan. Also, playing like that usually leaves little to no room for defensive errors and makes it hard for our talent on offense to shine. The QB development is very slow and seems to be partly related to our simple offense which is easy for defenses to figure out and it leaves us getting minimal gains (in yards and in QB confidence).
