That doesn't actually have a whole lot to do with the offense so far. At a guess, they may actually be trailing ToP, on average, through three quarters. They just aren't effectively holding the ball. They're getting a lot of possessions, because the defense is pretty freaking amazing at getting itself off the field. They don't generally last real long (in time or in plays) and they tend to end in punts rather than points. If the defense falls off at all those ToP numbers would swing hard the other direction. We're basically winning a battle of attrition right now, to see which offense can be less bad.
You've watched the games: aside from Jacksonville, is there a single week where we began to take control at any point before the mid fourth quarter? That's the stagnant offense. And while it's a great way to win (hell, any win is a good win) it's a dangerous game to play.
Basically what I'm hoping to see is some consistent offensive numbers
throughout the game. Four (or three, or hey, even two) quarters of good, efficient football from the offense and we'll be beating teams just as definitively as Denver. Just doing it a different way.
