I think yesterdays game was pretty well balanced by Paytons standards. Still passed too much but not as bad as he usually does. God I hope this doesn't discourage him from the ground game. We have all the pieces to be a hard hitting grind the ball and then wear them down with short passes kind of offense. I hope he utilizes that.

That's the truth. Halo should put the suicide prevention hotline number at the top of the page on game days.

Edit: that was sarcasm.

This is why we have running backs and not a running back.

Sorry, its my defense mechanism. This is starting to feel like 2007 and 2012 and my old ticker just can't take it.

But the way things are going this bizarro season we may actually run more, not less. Wouldn't shock me.

I have faith in Robinson and Cadet. PT is a given of course.

The way we are playing I could see us losing all three. And then the real competition starts. These next three games really need to be wins.

Some interesting notes I am using to temper my enthusiasm about our running game. I hope its merely coincidence.

Browns sold out the run to stop the big pass play:
The Browns made it their mission to shut down New Orleans' downfield passing game. At times Cleveland had seven defensive backs on the field at once -- a tactic that frustrated Drew Brees into a sack and interception in the first half.

According to a very good source to me personally Ingram is having surgery on his hand right now.

I remember when a hurt hand got tape.. a whole roll but they were back in the game.
