1. ALbert isn't the savior LT like most think he is. The homers on here are gonna bash this comment. But its true. Either that or he's in some mythilogical sophomore jinx slump. If there is such a thing.

2. Oline isn't providing protection at all for Cassel. He has about 2.5 seconds before someone is in his face or forcing him out of the pocket. There are countless times where the ball is hiked and cassel drops back and immediately has to tuck it and run or scramble because the pocket immediately completely collapses. The Oline also gets pushed around in the running game. How many times do we see defenders already in the backfield and LJ barely can get back to the LOS. Barry ****ing Sanders couldn't run behind this Oline. Has LJ lost a step? possibly. But I also believe he wants to be successful as well. No one wants to suck, especially after have being one of the best at your position. I believe LJ is motivated, but also knows his Oline is shitty and possibly has almost little to no confidence in them.

3. Eli Manning had all day to throw. Steve Smith was getting open all day. Though I must say we punished them with hard hits yesterday. If they came over the middle they paid for it.

4. WR's arent getting open. Combine that with Oline's inability to block enough for them to run their routes and get open, and Cassel's inaccuracy, you have a really shitty passing game. Our passing game looks like it couldnt survive in the college ranks. It's that ****ing bad. We may have 2-3 good passes a game. But that's it. Our passing game is a joke.

5. Play calling was ****ing terrible. It seems to get increasingly worse week by week. I know Haley is a new HC, but he's not new to playcalling nor is he new to the game in general and the way we've wasted TO's, managed the clock before HT against OAK, calling shotgun passing formations when it's 1st n goal on the 2 yd line, or just passing in that formation alone, not giving the ball to LJ in those situations is unacceptable. Haley fired gailey becuase Haley has an ego the size of Jupiter and though he could turn this offense into what he was able to accomplish with the All-world WR's he had at ARZ. Well we have an inconsistant Bowe with a journeyman Wade and an inactive Bradley from time to time. Oh yeah and no Tony G. Not having a HOF TE on your team to assist your passing game ALWAYS helps any offense succeed. But that's ok TE's dont matter in this offense. Our leading WR at this point is.....what......wait for it......a TE Sean Ryan, so we're good there.

I've said this for years and really its just common sense. It all starts in the trenches. IT helps to have playmakers for sure, but if you don't have an Oline that can run nor pass block, you're not gonna score points, hell, you're not even going to make first downs. 10 yrds.....30 god damn feet. for most that is from your house to the end of the ****ing driveway. Maybe even shorter. Oline can't open holes for your RB so then the defense then tee's off on the QB when you become one deminsional in the passing game.

Defense same way really, you need your front 7 to generate pressure on the QB, and if you don't, teams are gonna pass all over you, especially now a days where the rules favor WR's over the DB's. Our LB's suck in coverage. I hope to God we add a good LB via FA or the draft next season. This is a definate area of need as well as OL and WR. We could also use a true NT as well. But the one in this upcoming draft has issues about being lazy, overweight etc. Being that we have next to no talent on this roster, reaching for a risky pick in the first couple rds is the last thing this team can do.

The only positives I see in this team.....sadly......is the kicker Succop. So far he's been reliable. Even Colquitt has had some awful punts.
