Ok gentlemen, I have been reading your posts for 6 years and now I have actually joined so I can reply to this. I realize this is probably old hash but I have to say it.
-Was it Mark Rypien or the O-line that got us the Superbowl in 91.
When you get handed a football and someone is already standing in your back yard it makes it hard to see a running lane much less go through any of your reads. The front line is our problem and Joe knows that, that is why we are not seeing any TD's to our recievers. He is keeping it short and sweet and to the point. You cannot give a young QB 2 seconds to get rid of the ball he needs a Mark Rypien Average of 4-5 seconds to get rid of it. With that being said, Tom Brady could have stood in our back field and not had any production either.
Thank you for all of the entertainment and intelligent insight over the years.
Excellent first post! Welcome to the board!

Welcome aboard. You've seriously been reading for 6 years and just posted your first now? That's pretty incredible. Far more restraint than I have.

i say why dont we run the 2 minute offense the entire game...it seems to me we get a lot more productivity that way...our offensive line is beat up badly...walking wounded ,mostly and it takes time for injuries to heal of which we have none...
Well that may sound good but most of the time when a team is using its 2 min. O is because they are behind in the game and are up against a D thats playing more prevent stuff which allows more yards.

Good post! Hope we don't have to wait another 6 years for the next one! ;)
Agree completely about time in the pocket, especially with a young QB like JC. Funny how people consistently overlook this, thinking it's all about the QB. Sure you've got to have skills, but without time, VERY few people can execute. And the long throw especially is difficult--you end up dumping off to short receivers. Sound familiar?
