I can't believe no one has listed PLAY CALLING as a problem!

We never even tried to establish a running game. Our RBs (TRich and Holmes) combined for thirteen carries.

I know someone is going to say "well, the OLine takes the longest to gel..." - that may be true, but it does not mean you should concede that portion of your offensive attack!

All we heard during the offseason was "we're going to attack the D... if they stack the line, we'll light them up through the air, if they drop their safeties, we'll run the ball down their throats"

Well, I saw raider safeties playing deep - back trying to help on Gonzo and Alexander. I've seen comments re: Trent throwing into double/triple coverage - those second and third players were safeties. So where was the "we'll run the ball down their throats" portion of the O!?
