Yep. It amazes me that, even today, we're still trying to run the ball into stacked enemy fronts and rarely, if ever, throwing past the 1st down marker. It seems to me that Gailey should know better. You cannot - cannot - limit yourself to only the 10 to 15 yards beyond the LOS and win in this league. I mean, even if you don't make the play, you have to throw the deep ball on occasion - before you fall behind and before you're forced into it. It's very basic football theory. I can't believe that Gailey doesn't understand this or, if he does, why we're repeating the same offense that failed us so completely for the last two seasons.
