We saw the formula for this offense going forward against the Giants...
 

As much as some don't want to admit or accept it, the fact is that the high-flying offense we have seen the last few years is gone for the moment. But we can change that if we force teams to defend something else.

1. Run the ball more. DW and Gore should be active in running and catching out of the backfield. Gore has patients and vision that CEH does not.

2. Take the shorter passes first and check down to the deeper pass. Quit waiting to see if someone deep will open up. Dink-dunk.

3. Patience. We ran the ball one drive for almost the entire drive and scored a TD. Next drive we never ran the ball once and punted.

The simple fact is teams are daring us to run the ball and play the short game betting that we either won't stick with it or will **** ourselves. If we quit turning over the ball the rest we can do.

Once we win a few games running the ball and playing ball control then teams will have no choice to start bringing more players down into the box and then we can go back to tearing shit up in the air.

Until then, 6 or 7 in the box should be run or dink-dunk with some PA pass. The RPO stuff might have to take a bit of a backseat for a bit.

What are you sniffin' these days?
Is it playoffs?

Debbie Downy tits

We can't run it much more than we ran it tonight.

Gore and Darrel just aren't good enough for that. Barely 4 YPC as it is.

Stop dreaming of a game where our running backs carry it 30+ times. That is bad news if we try that.

Pat missed some pretty pedestrian throws tonight.

The formula will work towards getting the ball downfield. Just have to be patient.

I've never seen anything like all the fluke turnovers this year

The "formula " is a myth

Run the damn ball.

Patience..

not really right now

Oh yes we can. Even great running teams get stuffed on some plays. They just don't abandon the running game when it happens.

Gore tore shit up and never saw the ball again for 2 drives. It doesn't have to be 30+ touches but it has to be more ball control because that is how defenses are playing us.

Plus with as suck as our defense is, it keeps other QBs, like Rodgers, on the bench.

And we are averaging 5 yards per carry which is 4th in the league.

Are they? Volleying the ball in the air and not securing after catches are not flukes. They're just bad plays that show a lack of concentration.

Patients. As in, “We need more patients.”

Like a struggling family practice.

:doh!:

Yes they are flukes. KC LED the NFL in turnover differential for the last SEVEN years

A game of them is a fluke. A season of them is not paying attention to detail.
