Om Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 The end of the half performance of our offense was a perfect illustration of why this team is average at best with the current brain trust in charge. I refer to the QB / OC combination. That was about as embarrassing and futile as any offensive series, under the circumstances, as I've ever seen. From the unwillingness and/or inability to go beyond 10 yards with the ball, to the inaccuracy of the pass, to spiking the ball on 3rd down, all go to show just how far we are from fielding a competent NFL offense. Too damn bad, too, because I get the sense that if and when we ever DO figure out how it's done at this level, this team has a chance to be pretty good. Jimmy Raye and Tony Banks ... a marriage made in mediocrity. One has to wonder if good counseling is enough, or if a divorce is inevitable.

Brave Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 If they divorce does that mean one of them stays here? Perhaps them staying together and going somewhere else is a better option. Raye's offensive schemes leave much to be desired. I hope Marty has the nads to ax him after this season. We're a decent offense away from the playoffs but it ain't gonna happen with this guy running it. "This guy" can be Banks and/or Raye ... whomever you want to insert.

Fitz Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 The combination of Raye's playcalling and Banks' execution in the red zone is about as effective as the Taliban's defense strategy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyskinsfan Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Amen brothers! However, Banks has shown a couple of brain sparks for a moment and almost fooled me. Yet he cannot escape himself, he still makes some average efforts seem like a lot of drama. Face it, I've been nice to him, now I can say it. fh!

Om Posted December 23, 2001 Author Share Posted December 23, 2001 I know what old John McKay would have to say about Banks' execution. Always liked that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Now there's a nice drive. 3 plays, 14 seconds, 0 yards, 3 incompletions What, are we 3 scores down or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris 44 Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Thats another thing that didn't make sense.... The 2nd to last time we had the ball, 6 mins plus remaining, all 3 timeouts, down by 7, and we come out throwing. I'm baffled by this. This has been a very frustrating year.
