re: Q: "Why didn't we pass more last night?"

There is no reason to believe that the passing game will not come. Please, spare me with pointing to last year's shitty season. It's not particularly representative of anything.

we passed the ball better our first 3 games last year compared to our first 3 this year

the worry is past history. 2009, 2010, 2011, about half of 2012, and 2014 are reasons to believe that we will have passing game issues

Did Russell, Flynn and Mettenberger perform sufficiently for you guys when they were here?

2 guys developed by jimbo and one outlier that we didn't have to develop his first 2 years

after jimbo's guys left, how has our passing game been? 1.5 good years? (half of 2012 and 2013) how many years has it been bad? a much bigger number than 1.5. the burden is on miles/cam to show they can develop a passing game

Honestly, do you guys believe this team is incapable of passing or will be unable to do so because they haven't passed more through three games of the season?

we're 3 games in and our passing game, with an amazing running game to take pressure off, is not that good. we still have the same issues (pass protection, WR drops, no routes over the middle, over reliance on big plays, lack of TE/RB passes, etc) that our offense has had since miles shut it down in 2008
