Doesn't this to some extent reflect who we are and have been as a team?  Grind it out, long, sustained drives, using lots of clock?  Since Harbaugh we have not been a high scoring offense.  It's not our style.  Most seemed pretty happy about that when we won but now it's used to show our O stinks?  Maybe we have, supposedly, the talent now to be a higher scoring team but unless we abandoned our long-time philosophy it's not going to happen.  Why did you stop the analysis at 2012?  Have we ever had a top 10 offense, based on those stats, since Harbaugh's arrival?

I think what's being pointed out is that a fantastic defense has masked some deeper issues about the offensive philosophy.  I actually think the problem is more about what happens after kickoff.  There doesn't appear to be recognition that Plan A isn't working, and there also appears to be a significant amount of unwillingness to switch to Plan B.

I'm switching back to a theme of last year that I hope gets incorporated into future gameplans - Let Hogan Be Hogan.  Build a gameplan around his strengths and let him lead this offense.
