19 First Downs + 1 TD
28.6% success rate
That is pathetic and the Vikings last year with Ponder as the QB pass threat on 3rd down were much better than that.
2011 was not pretty but was to be expected with all the change in a lockout shortened year.
You could live with the passing struggled because Smith INT rate was 1.1%.
DAL, NO, IND, DET
They were all top 10 in 3rd down rate.
But on average their INT rate was right with the mediocre. 2.73%

Blamed the Oline and receivers
2011 offense was lackluster because the QB was LIMITED! The offense was akin to an offense you'd use if you started a rookie.
People still think Smith is this hall of fame world beater who has been held down by "the man".
