so, the difference of .5 yards per play is supposed to sound the alarm?

come on. the diff was with regard to points allowed. '11 it was 338, last season it was 425. Now that is a difference maker. They were dead last in points scored too -- 211 points for the season is awful. Those two factors combined are the difference.

Also

Partially from 25 offensive turnovers during the first part of the season, partially from letting CB Brandon Carr go to Dallas, partially from Eric Berry barely being able to make cuts and generally playing poorly during the first several games.
