Empircal evidence? that CHILLY is NOT to blame?

I did some stat sifting over breakfast after reading rubes online at the Star Trib whinge about play calling. Here are my findings and retort to said Rubes.

"It sure is easy to sit and talk smack in hypotheticals.. as if the plays you run in madden would work in real life.. it's so easy to move the ball and score in the nfl right?

If you go game by game 90 percent of our drives stall due to turnovers or penalties or drops. NOT PLAYCALLING..

All defenses have an advantage in the red zone, there is less space to cover, it doesn't mean we're predictable if we have to settle for a field goal every now and then...

even with all the griping and moaning we still have a top ten offense and we've played A LOT better defenses then a lot of the teams that avg 10 or 15 yrds more yards a game then we do.

It just makes me laugh. Chilly has done option plays, fake field goals.. gone on fourth downs at mid field as much as any other guy.

And for "plays longer then 20 yards" we are THIRD in the NFL and it's not cuz of AP.

so get your facts straight. you can laud the dolphins and their progressive offense all you want meanwhile they're like 25th in scoring.

here are some odd stats.

the vikes are 5th in penalties, and 26th in plus minus (turnovers)

i think those stats back up what I am saying pretty good.. better then you're arguments with hypotheticals"

Now
I know people will say that the coach is responsible for penalties but I think that's another lame cop out, that he has to instill professionalism etc. You can only do so much... some people are stupid or slow or just suck (ryan cook tends too)

Now let's right the ship, reduce drops, penalties and turnovers and get back to winning
