Good work GTripp as always. I've been calling for the long ball for awhile now and most of the response's were, " You can't go long if you don't have time." Our lack of going deep is what caused defenses to know how to play us IMO. Now it looks as if we have no choice. Thomas had a TD called back, I believe it was in the Cardinals game, on a penalty by Heyer. That's the last time I remember the ball being thrown to him on anything other than something short. Winning, and therefore being in the playoff race, has probably caused us to take less chances with our passing game and our rookies. Our offense is usually a pretty easy read. I believe our lack of taking chances before, has left us in a position where now, taking chances are our only hope. The onus is on the receivers. If they can't catch or run the correct route, they have no business being a wide receiver in the NFL. Put some pressure on the rookies and they might step up. Nobody wants to look stupid. We're not Nebraska or Oklahoma from the 80's. This is the NFL. You better have some kind of passing game if you want to win. Campbell may have to roll out or be in the shotgun more. Whatever. Adjust.
