Our offense CANNOT score!!!

PLaycalling.
I think this is right. But I think it is a function of our limited offensive weapons right now. We have no second WR of consequence and it is totally killing our ability to get down the field. We need Thrash back in a huge way. He isn't a great WR but he has to be dealt with by the opposing defense and that should free up the downfiled a bit.
I think we are clearly a better outside running team than inside and have been for two seasons. We need to start running the stretch more and we should see that pitch with Thomas and Cooley blocking at least three times a game. It goes for huge yards every time.
I think besides today Brunell has done exactly what they wanted him to do. Be smart and not throw ints. Basically keep us out of trouble. This is again where our lack of a quality QB weapon is hurting us. Brunell has done exactly what they wanted but we need someone who gives ur coaches confidence to actually run a more open offense.
I have no problem with the game plans because they seem to fit the talent we have. The lans are simply no frills and aren't going to get us huge points.

btw, the one offensive TD we did manage this game was with Portis literally HOLDING ON to Mike "Trailblazer" Sellers' jersey...

Not having a 2nd WR to take advantage of double-teaming of Moss is hurting our pass game. Also, I can't remember the last time when we've attempted a long pass on consistent basis. Arizona practically had 8 men front the whole game. Passing game should have stepped up and they didn't. I think it's a combination of lack of #2 WR and too conservative playcallling.

Turnovers kill drives and therefore kill scoring chances.

Playcalling didn't turn the ball over today.

man we won the turnover battle for only the forth time this year and that is why we won today. this year in those games we are 3-1 and does anyone wonder why all great coaches stress it? Why Gibbs stresses it?
Gibbs is 104-15 in games in which he wins the turnover battle.

Our defense has forced 9 turnovers the past 3 weeks and that is a great sign in my eyes. IF we keep this up we will be a great team

turnovers do kill us, but part of that is the fact that we have 3 main weapons... and nothing else. Not to take anything away from cooley, moss, or portis (or sellers, betts, cartwright, thrash...etc) but you watch one wr and the backfield/te position and you take away our offensive threats. Lack of recievers has killed us.

There have been some questionable play calling but I'd have to credit our lack of production to bad execution and turnovers.

After checking the stats, only one wide receiver other than Santana Moss caught the ball today:

Taylor Jacobs -- 1 catch for 7 yards.

That's pathetic, and Taylor Jacobs is officially not up to being a wide receiver in the NFL.

I mean really, is there anyone who will dispute this?

Maybe Patten wasent so bad, afterall....

No one really respects our running game.

Opponents don't really have any reason to respect it. Even today, with Portis barely cracking the 100-yard mark against the 26th ranked run defense, and with him being responsible for the team's only offensive touchdown, the game was still way too close, and had it not been for that last 7-yard run on third and 6 to close out the game, it could have been a scenario very similar to the Tampa Bay game.
