The answer to both is No. It didnt work. Even Gibbs said so.

You can't say our offense was totally ineffective last year. As TMC noted, we had the 4th best rushing attack in the NFL last year. Our backup RB tallied more yards in the final 8 games than any other back except Larry Johnson.

You note that our record is all that matters, but that doesn't take account of the team's horrible defense. So, I don't know why you say that, in evaluating the effectiveness of the offense, we should disregard the rushing stats and consider the record, but consider the record when the record is a better indicator of how BOTH units are playing.

As for the offense's general effectiveness, I think we need to take a wait-and-see approach. With the LT (Samuels), RB (Portis), and LG situation being unclear and given that we've been going against some stellar defenses, I think we should think twice before using the preseason to definitively predict how our offense will fare in the regular season.
