I know many people hate Tom Brady, but he made a great point last year when he said that you fail everytime on offense when you dont score a TD. The offensive coaches on the Pats tell the players they must score everytime. I dont know why our coaching staff doesn't have that philosophy....
Our coaches for some reason want to make the game close and keep it simple. YOU CANT WIN IN THE NFL LIKE THAT unless you have some great historic defense that allows 7 or less points a game, which we don't have.
There should be NO reason at all why our goal shouldn't be to score a TD every drive.
It is NOT in anyway shape or form okay to punt. You fail offensively if you punt. When you punt you give the ball to the other team. When you punt, then you allow the other team the opportunity to score. They may not score and the defense may stop them, but you allow that window of opportunity to open if your offense fails to score.
Bottom line is that you can NOT score without the football. There are no points for punting. If Herm is so deathly scared of turning the ball over that he dips his hand into the offense and makes it kindergarten simple then he has no right to be a NFL coach.
