I had the thought today thinking about the similarities between Kenny and Ben and their 2nd years. First thing that popped into my head was Wisenhunt compared to Canada
I know that this present team compared to the team back then is on an upper echelon, both in experience and talent, but I’m talking about offensive philosophy and play calling.
In my opinion I believe we could. I think our team can still be built to run his offense. The biggest concern being that this is more of a passing league now, but maybe with a few tweaks it could work out.
I think we’d have an offense that’s serviceable enough to compliment our defense in a way where we’d usually be in the situation of protecting a lead rather than playing catch up
I think we might have one more win or two max games in the present meaning a 6-2 or 7-1 record. However, deep playoff runs aren’t about your regular season record.
In this league it’s about being able to beat guys like Mahomes/Burrow/Allen on their best days in the playoffs. And that usually requires a level of QB play comparable to them, we don’t have that as it stands. I
I don’t think there’s a team that made it to or won the AFCCG in the last 5 years who would qualify under that just serviceable enough to protect the lead umbrella you’re saying.
