For me, it's about adjusting during the game in attempt to counter what the defense is doing causing you to be unsuccessful.
The object of the game (other then to win it any way) is to score points making it more likely and giving you a better chance at winning the game.

When you go series after series after series after series doing basically the same thing with no success you are leaving the door wide open for the opposition to adjust and have success against your defense.

A team like the Chargers can make that happen at any given time (and has done so on multiple occasions against us)

Not scoring puts an enormous amount of pressure on your defense to basically have to play perfect.

Fortunately they have stood up to that challenge for most of the season against inferior teams or teams that didn't have all their tools for success.

It took a miracle play to get that win because we were trying to turn it into a slug fest rather then trying to curb stomp the opponent from the get go.

We try that crap against teams in the playoffs and I'm not so sure the outcome will be the same.
