This team just seems to be better on offense with an efficent running game, although the passing game needs to be clicking also.

In the first half of 2006, the rushing game was terrible, but the passing game kept us close (which is good because we were chasing because we were running the ball awful and playing crappy defense) against bad teams. Then we benched our QB and our passing game, but our rushing game found itself.

This year, the idea was going to be to put it back together like in 2005, but on the contrary, both aspect are crappy although for entirely different reasons.

The offense may very well need the running game to come back for the passing game to be effective. Our timing routes don't work. Period. I have no problem with the coaches trying to reestablish the running game as long as they try something new. The old crap from the last 6 games isn't going to work, and we are wasting plays trying it.

A QB's best friend is a competant running game, and Campbell doesn't have it right now for the first time in his college or pro career.

The 2005 offense stunk when it mattered most and that is why Sanders is here.

The 11th ranked offense was running over people left and right. That we faced teams with injured QBs (i.e., Rams and Eagles) has nothing to do with the offense's ability to run on opposing defenses. So it shouldn't come as a surprise when our starting tailback (who put up over 1,5000 yards) and our best run-blocking lineman (Randy Thomas) go down. So why is it that you don't consider our injuries as a defense for anything, but you make excuses for other teams' injuries?

The offense left a lot to be desired, but it was definitely good enough.

Well apparently it was not good enough. It wasn't good enough in the playoffs was it? Is that the goal now? To just make the playoffs?

It was good enough for the Ravens and Bucs - teams that relied on their defenses and running games to win the big ones. See I watch other teams.
