I honestly hate our offense and I know this is not Al Sanders offense. This is Gibbs dictating to him.
Interesting commets by Sanders last week. He said it was a staff decision to pull back and let the defense win the game. Then he said to Kelli Johnson from Sportsnet, "Well you know me, I'm aggressive by nature." He sort said it with a chuckle. He basically said he didn't want to pull back but he just went along with what the other guys wanted.
Gibbs and his gang just need to be removed from any playcalling/game planning all together. Enough is enough. Let Al do it since that is why he is getting paid 2 million a year. I didn't see this crap going on it KC. All they had were Holmes and Tony G. ( not to mention a nice o-line) and they were in the top 5 in offense every year. Who were the wr's? Eddie Kennison? C'mon. Its time to let him do it his way.

Good post.
For some time, I didn't buy into the Gibbs holding Saunders back theory. However, as time progresses, it seems more apparent that is the case.
I agree with you. We lack offensive identity, and we are not creative. However, it's hard to run the play action when you don't have much running game to speak of.
One thing about New England's success with the screen is our defensive scheme. We are giving up all the underneath stuff to everyone, every game. I'm not sure if we did the same thing that it would have as much success against teams with a defensive strategy different than ours.
I think you are right about this: what we are seeing is not an Al Saunders offense. I hope Joe will give more control to Saunders as the season progresses.
