I wonder. Garret is not looking like the genius he was supposed to be.

We did get more passes to the backs- but I think the mixture needs to be adjusted. And we HAVE to be able to run the ball better - right now we only do it well when the D is tired.

I think our OL blocks much better on the sweeps and draws. Thats what it looks like to me. I don't see to many gaps up the middle opening up at all the past few weeks. Our backs are trying to shoot gaps and there is just nothing there.

That has to change. Our OL needs to be much more aggressive. They need to come out punching folks in the mouth.

They are ENORMOUS. It drives me crazy seeing JJ and Barber run up the gut for 1-2 yds. =(

This game had me on the antacid. I keep waiting for the piano to fall on us. I am glad I was wrong but we need to do a lot better against the Giants and others.

The underneath passes were there in the Buffalo game too. On most plays there are long and short pass patterns called. It's the QB that chooses who to throw to.

Of course the QB chooses...


And he choose much better today.

If you stop, scratch your genitals, and think for a second, you'll realize that this is one of the dumbest threads ever created.

Strange. I realized this is one of the dumbest threads ever... but I stopped and scratched my genitals after that realization.

Guess I got the order wrong. :D

It's little things, like Colombo's two false starts at home, where crowd noise is not an issue. The two series after the Bradie James fumble recovery were ghastly.

Our offense sucks. We only got 400 yards against a defense ranked in the top 10 instead of 500.

I think the biggest problem with the offense today was the o-line. It didn't play a very good game. It was Columbo's worst game as a Cowboy IMHO.

Really?

Not being a wise guy here but I think this is the first game of the season where I just did not panic at all. I just did not even consider, at any time during the game, that we would lose.

However I agree we need to get things on track because the next three games will not be a cakewalk at all.

No they won't.

I'm anxious to see Newman and Henry both starting.

SOB needs to sit the O line down and tell them they are NOT earning those big bucks.

Just a few years ago I would have been extatic to see us get 300 yards against a defense like the one we get. Our offense is just fine. Points come and go in the NFL. The defense is where it's at. Our defense played real well outside of the first drive. Despite allowing 70 yards on the first drive on about 7 or 8 plays. Minn got about 125 yards the rest of the game. That's really good against anyone in the NFL. I don't care if Tavaras Jackson can't pass. Adrian Peterson won't be held to under 70 yards that much in the NFL. That guy has more speed than any OU back I can remember and he played at OU.

We have to play better than we did today. I will give you that.

But our problems are very correctable. Don't get penalties and protect the football. I don't think there is a whole lot to be worried about, but there is certainly room for improvement. As any team can say about themselves.

Seriously. I think the coaches need to figure out what is going on w/ our OL. They can pass block great. They can't run block to save they're lives tho. It's UGLY looking. We get NO YARDS up the middle most touches.

Where have you been? We haven't hardly been able to run the ball all year until their defense is gassed.

Heck, today, we didn't even try.

The deficit was never more than 7 points, so I didn't worry.
