Right now i think above all else our offense plays scared. What I mean by this is that it is obvious that les/stud (or whoever is calling the plays) calls the game to not lose it and i think this is mentality trickling down to our players. With the exception of Ware, Landry, and Copeland our offensive players seem to play timid and try not to make mistakes. What it looks like to me is happening is that it is making our players play slow. In my opinion if the coaches show more confidence in their players with the play calling it will make them respond. With that being said I do have confidence in our offense turning it around and look forward to having the spotlight on us to show the rest of the country we are righting the ship.
Does the rant share my opinion or am I off base here

No question the gameplan gets dialed back after a mistake.
Lee throws a pick against Bama, he gets yanked.
Last Saturday, we moved the ball with short passes the first drive, but then after Mett threw the pick, the gameplan was scaled back and went into "not to lose" mode.

I mean i can only hope that our offense and playcalling can make the big turnaround.... If not it could be a long season... we have way to many athletes on our offense to only be scoring 6 points a game

But yes I agree. But we also have a lot of injuries right now.

"Not to lose mode" sucks, I prefer beast mode.

We are at the point in the sseason where we might as well let it lose on offense and sling that rock. Our wide-outs are bound to catch a few balls.

Just a joke for all you tight wads.
