here is what frustrates me. everyone wants to blame the offensive line with injuries. if I am correct, the two games we lost and the 3 of the 4 we won we had comfortable 1st half leads. How did we get the lead, by playing to win!! how did we lose, by playing not to lose!! IF the O-line is so freaking horrible, then how come we seem to move the ball early in games and score 14 or 17 first half points?? Ofensive line play has been bad, but its not the reason we are giving up 2nd half leads and losing games.

We are playing NOT to lose, instead of playing to WIN. We need to throw that crap out the window and run the freaking offense to win games. Stop playing not to have turnovers. That puts zero confidense in your players when you stop playing your offense because you are afraid of turnovers. Plus, teams are making adjustments to stop us in the 2nd half, taking away what we are able to do in the 1st half. where are our adjustments to the defense?? We seem to have one way of playing and if the team stops us, well then we are done. No adjustments what so ever. I dont want to hear about the line play, we all agree they are no where near as good as they would if Jansen and Thomas were playing. But we dont have scrubs playing either. Wade, Fabini, Demulling we are starters for several years.

Coaches seem to need to adjust to the game at hand and they dont seem to be doing that.
