Being aggressive isn't bombing the ball 30 yards downfield at every chance. It can be as simple as calling a mid range pass play on 1st and 10 rather than a dive play. It can be calling a screen on 2nd and 5.. Our mid range and across the middle of the field passing game disappears in the 2nd half of games. There are many ways to be aggressive without taking a 7 step drop and looking deep..

I would agree a little that JG looks a little to complacent to ride out a win but I would argue that this mentality has died down a little. In reference to yesterday I think a lot of people are forgetting that it wasn't like in the first half we were rolling on offense. We didn't throttle anything back at all. Our offense sucked first and 2nd halves.
