Re: Focus Your Negative Energy- Pats-Cowgirls Thread

Against the lions we seemed to play a lot better. The o-line was opening big holes and the running backs (esp. Sellers) were running really hard. Also, the receivers weren't dropping half the passes, which is what happened yesterday and in the second half of the giants game. Whether that was because we were playing well or because they sucked is beyond me. I know that in the second half we controlled the ball and really wore them out, so that played a huge role in the win.

You're right, the offense has not been playing that well but there could be a number of reasons for that. I guess the chief reason would be the overall health of the o-line. We've been missing our starting right guard and right tackle for almost the whole year, so our running game has suffered greatly. On top of that the receivers seem to be dropping more passes than normal but I'm not sure what's causing that.

The most frustrating thing about the Skins over the past few seasons, for me, has been the inconsistency. We'll have a great defense and almost no offense one year and then the next we'll have a top notch running game and a bottom feeding defense. I just hope that this year the D will keep it up and the offense will get healthy and start playing the way they appear to be capable of.
