No Running Game

Euphoria · 10-06-2013, 07:13 PM

Our O line needs help.

I'd much rather we rushed for 125 yards per game and lost. At least we would have a running game and our losses would be "quality" ones.

Oh yeah I live in Indy. The Colts did not have a 100 yd. runner today. The Sea Hags had two. I'll let them know they have to give the win back. I guess we have to also.

Unrelated, but does anyone else feel uncomfortable watching LT as an analyst

im taking the dump offs, screens, and third options for brees as more of our running game. the running game is what it is. there will be your 100 yard plus days but it has to do with what payton has on that card. i'm accepting it; its winning and i'm pumped for the next one. and today with the 4th and 1 so many of them was like someone said earlier we just were not stretching the ball out for a better spot and just bad spots by the stripes. unawareness of the line is another our fault. its all good. what a win.

Here's what I am gonna say to the all the 4 and 1's we saw today. I explained this in a room full of Saints fans earlier..... so im confident in my diagnosis.... LOL .... In a normal game situation.... I say the two passes to Jimmy that came up short are both conversions. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that they were told not to stretch out for extra yardage or fight for first downs because of how adept this Bears team is of punching the ball out and causing turnovers... no turnovers by us is what won the day!!!

I honestly thought we we attempted to run the ball more than any game this year. I'm probably wrong but watching the game live, I was thinking, we'll we are attempting to be more balanced.

I just got to see the whole game. I take it all back. We did some much better running plays today. Improvement!!! Yay!!

Eventually Teams will figure it out; the interior line has got to start earning those checks...
