On Blache

Meanwhile, our real big offensive problems can be summed up by this:

You've heard of the bend but don't break defense? We'll we've got the world's first "Bend but don't score" Offense. We're above average in yards per drive, but 29th in TDs per drive. Obviously, something is amiss here. The rank is a bit misleading, since we've played the two best defenses, and the Giants' defense twice.

This does show a bunch of things. The Offense has much further to go than it could, potentially. It is clearly not inept, but rather, end-zone challenged. The Redskins convert a 1st and 10 into another 1st and 10 2/3 of the time. That's pretty solid. The Redskins convert a possession into a touchdown 14.4% of the time. That's pretty horrific.

Lack of the big play on offense is the single biggest issue here.

Meanwhile, our defenses yards per drive is right on par with it's points per drive: slightly above average against a weak schedule.
