Might as well face it fellas, there is a lot of blame to be passed along here. Injuries with a depleted O line, just poor execution and mental errors with dumb penalties(as usual), with uber conservative game plans. All of it adds up to a potential mess if none of the above problems gets corrected or solved. I just don't think your play calling should be throttled all the way back because of three starting linemen missing. It of course will dictate to some degree what you should try and get away with, but to have to render your offense neutered by it is suicidal. I am not saying bombs away either. Gibbs I had a nice mesh of hardnosed running and vertical mid range passing going on. With the WR corp we have now, there is no excuse not to open that part of the game up. I wish Gibbs would start calling plays.
