That is sound and rational.

The thing is though, we're so much more desperate than that. We need people to have a reason to stay excited. The Syracuse fan community dog has been kicked a few too many times. Every time we've gotten a little taste of winning, we've played a game in the Dome and either stunk or gutted out a low scoring win. That doesn't cut it for keeping the community engaged.

Offense is the answer, because for our fan base, sad as it is to say, offense is a novelty. I'm not saying we don't need to win. We need winning, but we need to win in an entertaining (ie high scoring) way, and that will make losing more palatable if we're doing it in an entertaining way (ie shootouts).

We're really not that far. We play the right kind of defense. McDonald not panning out hurts a lot, because I think he had the right idea, we just couldn't execute it. Lester scares me a little if he's the OC going forward, because if his plan is to go double tight end with big backfields and stuff I'm not confident that we'll ever see much improvement from the offense.
