And yet their record is 1-4. What does this mean? The stats say that they might be shooting the lights out but by watching the games we know that is not necessarily the case. Does it mean that things are going well except for a few key plays, factors, schemes, playcalls a game? Or is it something deeper? I know people say "no depth" or "no talent" but in my mind, stats like that don't seem to bolster those arguments.

I'm at a loss. Anyone hazard a guess/opinion/plan?

Passing totals tend to be higher when you pass almost all the time. How do the number of pass attempts compare to the rest ofthe league. We know that rushing attemts are way l Iow.

Burris.......173 always trailing, no run... kinda has to. Calvillo......158 veteran QB with an injured tailback... gonna see a lot of throws (also losing team...) Lulay........141 MOP let him chuck it Ray..........130 injured. totals are down Reilly.......128 new = relying on the "here hugh save me" play Durant.....107 injured totals are down Peirce.....105 oddly healthy for him... still on the IR totals are down

62%+ completion rate with that many balls thrown to that many uniform fillers kinda speaks for itself.

problem is same as last year, no effing defense.

Pretty much tells the story of the offense, can pass like nobody’s business, but no run attack to keep opposing defenses honest in the third and fourth quarter. Also implies the defense is stinking it up, which they were up until recently.
