What's wrong with our Red Zone offense?

I'll add bad personnel groupings. How have we gone 2 games and not once used Kelly, Thomas, Mitchell, Cooley & Davis as a RZ package? When we trot 3 TE out there that gives away that we're going to run the ball.

Yeah no doubt. Get all those big targets on the field at once and take your best shot. We have the horses, for whatever reason they're not being used.

Im tired of seeing two TE's and Moss split wide at the 5 yard line. Why did we get these big receivers if we arent gonna use them? The fact that we cannot run right sure hurts when we get down there as well. Zorn is the biggest problem IMO, but he is too busy defending his calling a RB pass from the 7 yard line.....what a dumbass!

He's too busy thinking...

It seems we also call a lot of plays, on both sides of the ball, that require far too much exact execution, to succeed. Maybe it isn't reasonable to expect 100% proper technique and execution play after play. Maybe working some plays/schemes in there that allow a little more wiggle room could help. Like I don't know, roll the f*cking QB out once in a while to give the play time to develop. Stop being a slave to the WC theory...or whatever theory.

I agree. We were longing for some tall receivers for the redzone for years. Now that we have them we dont use them. Doesn't make any sense. We have 3 receivers over 6'2. 2 Good tight ends. I just dont get it. But I am not a coach. Hopefully Zorn figures it out. But Gibbs couldn't even figure it out. But we do need our O-line to make some holes down there.

Well, we wouldn't want to go to just the shotgun... that would let them know we intended to pass. <sarcasm>

Just to be clear -I agree with your sentiment.
