Hurry up offense is not the answer.

We lost the Chicago game on a fluke fumble.
We lost the Buffalo game because we didn't stick with the run.

The only thing that is lacking is the playcalling.

We ran the ball less because we were getting nowhere with it. I also don't remember to many series where we threw the ball everytime, so to say we didn't stick with the run isn't quite accurate.

We had two rushing first downs and 16 total rushes. 3 of those was BJ scrambling out of the pocket, so basically Childress called 13 run plays that game. The Vikings had 12 different offensive possesions, meaning we ran the ball ONCE PER DRIVE.

- On our first drive of the second quarter we didn't run the ball, down 7-3.
- On our first drive of the third quarter we didn't run the ball, down 14-6.
- On our first drive of the fourth quarter we didn't run the ball, down 17-6.
- Obviously we did not run the balll on our last two drives.
- We ran the ball 5 times out of 12 plays on our first scoring drive, meaning we ran the ball a total of 8 times for the rest of the game.

Those are the facts, my interpretation is that we were too quick to pass in a close game.

Childress said in an interview during the offseason that this would be a TE friendly offense.
It will happen.

When, week 16?

uh, 4th quarter, when were down by a score and have less than 2 minutes on the clock.
