It's almost like (minus the penalties) we could just run the ball and make a few critical throws and win this game. Crazy. Run the ball and play defense. Save throwing it every play for when you need to.

I hope they don't wait until the last 2 minutes of the second half to get the rb's more than 2 or 3 carries.

Give the RB some carries and you get TD drives. Throw 95 percent of the time and you get predictable.

2 rb carries all first half pretty much says just meet at the QB and you can stop this offense. OMG ..........a running play.

Hoodie has won almost as many games as we have last year and this year and he's got an offense full of nobodies and a second year QB who will never be Allen.

Has he been playing football since he was 8 .......... probably. Should have heard it a few times by now.

I'd always take defense in coaching. QB's like Allen can create offense and there's a number of OC who could score points with Allen. What Belichick would bring is probably the best defensive mind to ever coach and a generally well coached mistake free team. He generally doesn't have a team that fumbles in there own end zone or players that don't know to knock a ball down on 4th and 18 so that the WR doesn't catch it. Team also don't run for 100 yards on him on a regular basis.

he didn't do squat with all 4 of his carries!

What the hell are you talking about? Tell me they give him carries on 3rd down all the time and I know you are full of crap.

So he had 13 carries and only 4 were in the second half so 9 in the first half. He had 6 carries and 2 TD's in the first quarter and you just stop running the football because he has 2 or 3 carries that aren't big runs? Henry had 19 carries for 53 yards. Guess the Titans should bench him.

and our offense spotted them a TD

Henry 19 carries 53 yards. You think they are going to stop giving him the ball? I'm not saying any of our RB's are Henry or that they need 20 carries but if they get 10 carries in the first half and we are leading by several scores they should probably get more than 2 or 3 more carries in the second half.

So then I would only have to listen to it

When McDermott first got here we had a scoring offense and couldn't stop teams. They went completely vanilla, no wr's, and ground thier way into the playoffs with Taylor. I was thinking if we could score some points McDermott would be our Belichick and this QB could be our Brady. Well we have plenty of story left to be written but Allen needs to work on ball security to be our Brady and McDermott needs to get this defense back to putting fear into teams and making less mistakes. No doubt I believe we have the players and coaches to win anywhere against anyone but it is little consolation when week after week you are just beating yourself.

It looks like we carried the ball 5 tiimes for 20 something yards. I'm fine with that. Just keep running the ball once in a while and keep teams honest. We didn't lose the game because we can't run the ball. I almost garauntee that we'll never lose a game because we can't run the ball. The point is that if we never even try teams will find a way to get to Josh faster because we don't even try to run.

You are right. That said when Josh gets back to normal I'll stop complaining about him throwing interruptions.

He had 4 carries in the second half (3 of those in the 3rd quarter) so I don't know what you are talking about.

Even worse than out hustled or no killer instict we seem to make dumb plays. The exact opposite of what you should do.

Would you say we can relate to Cowboys fans or Cowboys fans can relate to us?

They've thrown twice as many ints as TDs. If that's an excuse.

We are missing Hyde, Poyer, and Edmunds so essentially 2 free safeties and the worlds biggest strong safety. If it weren't for Hamlin we'd probably be giving up 50 points a game.

We don't really really need a ground attack, that's not the point of why we need to run. We need to run to keep balance so the defense isn't just meeting in the backfield at the QB every play. We need to run to keep the clock moving and to minimize how many times our QB gets hit. If we need points I'm all about throwing it all over the field but in a number of games we are up and our throw it all over the field play is stopping the clock and creating turniovers and our Qb is getting hit. Furthermore the problem in any part of the running attack is not Motor and if Cook was in there I doubt it would be Cook. Our run play selection (especially in the second half) sucks and our blocking not great either.

Thurman had an OL that had pro bowlers at every position. Actual hall of fame players. Which one of OL guys is the best at his position? Thurman was great no doubt but he had one of the best lines ever assembled for years.

The Singletary fumble wasn't a fumble so it's a wash there.

He's thrown 6 of those 10 pics in the last 3 games.
