The receivers are TERRIBLE. That is not an exagerration...flat out awful. Bad routes, embarrassing drops, no yards after catch, etc. Yeah we miss Colt, but holy hell we miss Shipley. I'm not going to rag on Greg Davis because at this point it is just wasted energy, but if we don't have a running game there is no point to force it. We have had success in the past being pass-heavy and this isn't the NFL, so I don't see the need to force a running game. And when we are down 26-7 in the second half, I think it's a good idea to throw the ball farther than 3 yards. I don't understand this diaper we are putting on Gilbert. I thought this kid was the high school player of the year? It's not like Colt was slinging it his freshman year, but there was much more down field passing then than there is now. Maybe it's the lack of confidence in the receivers....I don't konw.
This team could lose 5 games this year, but at the same time Mack always finds a way to right the ship. It's just hard to see that happening at this point.
