And

"They did dial it back."

Now go watch coordinators corner and see ARod talk about this specifically.

Or go to the end of Kalani's press conference where he spoke about this unprompted and was visibly pissed that people (namely Jake Hatch who was in that press conference) are insinuating that their offense takes the foot off the gas when they get leads - exactly what you're saying.

Or listen to Connor Pay discuss this on Jake Hatch's podcast when he was asked specifically about it...he specifically said that ARod was calling plays to bomb the ball downfield but the execution was poor, guys weren't getting open, blocking assignments missed, etc. Why was execution poor? There's a list of possible explanations but that's besides the point. The play calls were there, the execution was not - per Connor Pay.

So there's 3 in the know sources that completely disagree with you.
