THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED

  1. annoyingly slow to understand; dull-witted:
    "he wondered if the doctor was being deliberately obtuse" · "blame lies at the feet of obtuse senior leaders"
    Similar:
    stupid

    slow-witted

    dull-witted
    • difficult to understand; unclear:
      "some of the lyrics are a bit obtuse"

So, how is the offense dull-witted or difficult to understand? It's neither.

Running Najeh on toss sweeps, WR screens with no lead blockers, throwing bombs on 3rd and 1 or 2...that's not difficult to understand or dull-witted? This offense has been abysmal going back to Randy Sphincter.

The argument isn't that the offense is elementary or bad, just the word "obtuse" doesn't really fit...abysmal is a much better fit.

For the season total, with Matt Canada. I was talking specifically of the 270-ish yards with HC Tomlin and Canada to over 400 yards of offense without Canada and with Mike Tomlin STILL head coach. But you blame shades eh? Nah.

Who decided to stick with Canada for 3 years?

I can come up with a bunch of adjectives for this offense...obtuse would definitely be one of them.

Dull witted, or obtuse is what would describe the play designer.
Obtuse is always used to describe a person or a group of individuals, not a concept or a system.
Lloyd was referring to a system, not a group of individuals.
Surely the offense isn’t comprised of dull witted individuals.

exactly, thank you. If he would have said "Coach Dumblin is obtuse for designing this offense..." okay. sure.

So could I…dysfunctional, broken, flawed, unworkable, ill-conceived …but obtuse definitely would not be one of them.

I’ll take what are words that describe the Steelers offense for 100 Alex.

What is…

Abysmal
Predictable
Basic
Conservative
Pathetic
Atrocious
Unimaginative
Challenged

So many correct answers
 
Obtuse always reminds me of the shawshank redemption

NOT me, when I tried to suggest to Coach Tomlin after year one that we need to let Matt go to a team that can utilize his “High-Powered offensive scheme”, he tried to “*****” slap me and then kicked me out of the facility……………….. paid my 3yr contract off himself. Then waved adios…….



Salute the nation

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY pimping ONE game as proof to Clown-in's potency on offense? Seriously? Is that what you're contending?

No. I'm contrasting a Matt Canada lead offense against the browns and a non-Matt Canada offense against the bungles in back to back weeks to show just how inept Canada was. You can't say it's all Mike's fault unless you want to account for hiring him in the first place but that hasn't been your point. You want this ALL on Mike because you loathe him and fault him for everything to the point that you're a running joke on the board.

Got it, Clown-lin's offense is great bc of one game, no matter that he folded like a cheap folding chair the rest of the season, including the playoffs. He put up what? 14 points? Tremendous there, Clown-lin.

He NEVER ONCE said that his offense was GREAT you toolbag. This is your biggest problem when trying to discuss anything on this board. You don't READ AND COMPREHEND, you skim over, make assumptions, add in things that were never said, and absolutely refuse to see anything other than what your blind hatred forces you to see.

You wouldn't get the point if someone shoved a pencil through your forehead.
