We either haven't adjusted for it, have executed the adjustment, or don't have the personel (QB, RB, Hot Read WR's) to adjust to it.

And yes, for those that want to put it all on the oline, i think they devaluing our line play. Yes, they've had some bad games, but good playcalling and QB execution will overcome some mediocre line play. Pitts, Indi, Dal are a few of the top teams that have had horrendous line play this year. Worse than ours.

Great post. Count Blache out of that group.

The OL takes too much of it. Through the Seattle game, they were opening holes for the running game, and keeping us above float. The problems were starting to form before they declined to current levels.

We still need to address the unit, obviously. But our issues go far deeper than our OL not being competitive.

The speculation remains endless as to who/what is at fault for the collapse this year and there is plenty of blame to go around.
When trying to correct any "process" or problem where multiple breakdowns may exist, note the following. It is done on a "worst first" basis.
While it is true, better QB play and other component play would have relieved some of the symtoms resulting in a better end result, the problem remains. Our O-line was run-over most of the year, and must be addressed. When that is fixed, what is the next "worst" problem. When the known problems have been addressed, see how they affect the "suspected" problems, and adjust accordingly.
In principle.............simple
And this is what we must do
