What the real kick in the sack is the fact that Kromer went back to coaching the line and yet our O line had Drew running around the entire game. The run game looked aweful. I was to the point of saying screw the run, pass the ball. Our O-line obviously does not want to run block this year. We go from 6th in rushing last year to last place this year with the only change being Nicks.

I remember we were at mid-field tied at 7.

1st and ten - PT rushes for 8 yards
2nd and two - Pass incomplete
3rd and two - Pass incomplete
4th and two - Pass intercepted
Wow.

yeah i remember that, I thought for sure on 3rd we would give ingram a run, he was slowly getting going

on 3rd i said to myself its going to be the roll out pass to moore, and it was, if i knew what the playcall was, the broncos obviously did

thats how predictable we have become

Bingo! The moral of the story is that he may not get but 2 yards per carry but its almost a guaranteed 2 yards per carry LOL.

Ivory would have made a difference also.

If we had a defense worth a spit we could afford to force the run game more - we might try, even at the expense of a drive or three in the first half, just to either get it going or at least make the other guys account for it.

We don't have a defense worth a spit though, so we go in to every game looking to hang 40 on people.

That is the way we are built.

The contrast would be Dallas with a 4th ranked defense hoping to keep opponents from putting 40 up every game. Their O is about as fun to watch as our D...

Salary cap means you have to lean one way or the other to be a good team... If you balance it your mediocre at best on both side of the ball... Cant really stop anyone and cant really tally up the points.

Leaning one way or the other is one thing. We are completely upside down.
