Add it all together and we cannot run the ball... at all. I know... I've tried everything and then some. And not being able to run the ball has made it so opposing defenses just play the pass and pick us apart. Last game someone didn't get that memo and thought our RQB actually only runs. Hey! We got a cheap 21 points. But, generally, nobody give our rushing game a 1st look, much less a 2nd one. That makes it impossible against great coordinators. Being one dimensional totally sucks balls. But it is what it is until the end of the season. Lessons learned. New plan in the books already... new approach. Lastly, I never claim to be a WL OC. Getting better with every season and, maybe, soon? But for now I'm just a good ol' boy. And our DC is also learning the ropes. We expected road bumps. We did not expect this season. Harsh. But we're not pissed and we're not going away... just gonna regroup and reload and go at it again. Hopefully with much better results. It's a good group of agents and... yeah... I'll take so much bad said about 'em and then I get into momma bear mode.
You make it sound like Bort put a gun to your head and forced you to this level. You could have requested a move down to AAA, still got your ass kicked 90 % of the time and let an elite team really make this the best 24 in PRO in a very long time. I don't know. I find it selfish but different strokes for different folks I guess. Not sure what you are learning when losing a game 200 to 0. And BTW nobody is playing just the pass against you. Nobody was looking at your team at all. Sorry brotha but that's just the truth and you should have known it before the season began.
It will be sad next year to see Pro maybe dip next year. Hopefully we have enough teams left to make it enjoyable like this season.
