While I agree the officiating hasn't been stellar, we aren't going to win many games with the offensive line play we've had. Drew rarely gets to set his feet and get this offense into rhythm. The majority of the pass plays feel panicked.

What's the major difference between this year and last year with the O-line? Our offensive line coach is no longer solely responsible for just the line, but for the entire team.

Once Vitt gets back, and Kromer can get back to only coaching the line, we will see an improvement. We've always had a bad defense, but we overcame it with a more potent offense.

Defensively, yes we obviously need to play better, but I would argue that, that is our 2nd biggest issue next to average to below average offensive line play.

I really can't understand why their has been such a huge drop off. I tend to blame play calling

The whole team has the dropsies, except Devery (shocking)

I don't think the Wrs are getting seperation, Jimmy's being doubled, Oline can't run block or pass block.

Right, there are a lot of problems. We've overcome drops before though, we just didnt notice them as much because we were scoring TD's the next play anyway.

My point was, while we look shitty defensively, this isn't anything new, and among all of the problems we are having, I feel the drop off in offensive line play is the one that is affecting us most.

Grubbs isn't the problem. It's Stief and Bushrod.
