Offensive vs Defensive philosophies

Anyone know why we have such significantly different offensive vs defensive philosophies?

Defense is our most successful unit, and generally plays a very simple system. It seems the focus there is on allowing players to spend less time thinking and more time reacting and making plays.

Meanwhile on offense, we run the EP system which to my understanding requires A LOT of processing from the players on each down.

I’m not the smartest student of the game or anything, so is this a case of “offense NEEDS be more complicated to exploit defenses” or just a weird quirk in our team’s philosophies?
