The injured o line is a huge problem no doubt. However, you kind of got to play to win sometimes. Not throw all the time, run all the time, but create a little mix. Throw some on first...roll out or something. We had NO run game at all yesterday. Lets try to win and get a first down. The question is would you rather try to win and get a couple of first downs or take our chances on a FG that is about 50-50 chance for us to win/lose. It seems like we just were content on running for no yardage yesterday. Did anyone think that we were actually going to run for more than 3 yards on first and second down? Again the injuries are a huge deal, but we had no run game at all, so let's try to get a first down or two.
