What you saw today was a perfect example of why it is so important for the Skins to run the ball and why their inability to do so might just kill their season. They just are not good enough throwing the ball right now to go and do so consistently. The result is getting yourself into 2nd and 3rd and long situations which is just setting yourself up for failure. There is only so much a coaching staff can do. Remember also that bringing in a new coaching staff means a new offense, a new defense, turnover in personnel, etc. There is no magic bullet here fellas. If I were the coaching staff I wouldn't even have the players watch film of the Pats game. I would just move on to the Jets and put this game in the past forever. I'm sure others will disagree, but that is my opinion.

Good post
