Trading Field Goals for Touchdowns

This has been a problem for sometime, but I think this really bit us today vs. Seattle.

If we scored TD's in the first half instead of Field Goals, we would have forced Wilson into bad throws in the second half.

We are kind of middle of the pack in Redzone TD Efficiency. With a QB like Ben shouldn't we be much better? I feel like Ben was better in the Redzone when Ward was our slot WR and we had a power run game, but since then has somewhat struggled.


Maybe it is the playcalling in the redzone? Should the pages for the Redzone in the playbook get thrown away?

 

It helps in the red zone when you have bigger wide receivers i.e. Green or Hulio Jones, Evans, and big tight ends like Gronk or Cincy tight end.

 

It seems to be a combination of a more crowded field and weird playcalling. No opportunity for long bombs, and they seem to go away from the running game.
