Offense = Disappointment

We didn't really pass much at all. 26 attempts in a 60 minute game is nothing. For the losing team, it's inexcusable.

If you throw 19 passes in the first 57 minutes of a game, you can't get anyone involved.

Yes, Zorn clearly went away from the pass in this game. You'll have a breakdown I'm sure but I believe I saw Jason was 8 for 11 at one point, but then Zorn went almost completely to the run (and we got stuffed almost every time).

I would just say those who may want to downplay today's performance are not seeing the game. Zorn's ability as an OC (let alone an HC) is hugely questionable. I can honestly say I predicted over half our snaps this game...that's means Bill Sheridan and Coughlin predicted something like 90% probably.

The WRs we're supposed to have developed look absolutely lost in a live game. This is an indictment of their position coach, Hixon, and anyone who tries to argue otherwise has a screw loose. Hixon should be waived tonight and go find someone who has a shot at developing all we've invested at the position (he's never developed a WR in his professional career...it's just ridiculous he's still here).

We won't know until the middle of the year.

He does have all the receivers blocking, for one thing.

I have to wonder if Zorn was too confident that the defense would easily draw three and outs and that's why he decided to pound Portis repeatedly to the left while moving Sellers in motion.

Losing=Dissapointment

So true.

I have to wonder if Zorn was too confident that the defense would easily draw three and outs and that's why he decided to pound Portis repeatedly to the left while moving Sellers in motion.Almost certainly this is the case.

But 1) he should have known better, being around for the preseason and all, and 2) it's not an excuse for not doing more of what you were successful at.

What's odd is that JC had a slightly better QB rating (93.6 vs 93.5) than Eli. They both had a fumble, a pick, and a TD. But JCs fumble went for a TD, the gints had better yardage, and they had much better ToP. What's really weird is how statistically close--and close on the scoreboard--this game was, but watching it, I never felt we had a chance. We just looked like losers out there.

Gotta start believing. The gints are not that good, but they NEVER beat themselves, and they just believe that we are not a real threat. And they seem to be right. I HATE that.

I had posted a thread a while ago about JC vs Eli stats and how they were very familiar. So this lends to that point.

We just made too many mental mistakes. I think everything can be corrected. But it wont matter if the play calling doesn't get better.

Almost certainly this is the case.

Indeed, the passing game (ARE) was the brighter spot of the O today even with
the turnovers and crap and WCO is supposed to be pass first.

If you guys are watching the Packers game right now, you would see that we should doing what Rogers is doing AIRING IT OUT!!
