    A BETTER running game??? I'd be happy if they are able to show ANY kind of running game. To wit:

    Dayne: 22 ATT for 58 yds. Longest run - 12 yds.
    Gado: 6 ATT for 9 yds. Longest run - 3 yds.
    E. Shepard: 1 ATT for 6 yds. Longest run - 6 yds.
    D. Carr: 4 ATT for -8 yds.

    This is a running game?

    Dayne is a strong runner but he's sloooow and lacks the necessary footspeed to thrive in Kubiak's offense. In fact, all three RBs look to be too slow to make much of a difference in this style of offense. This is a situation that I don't see getting addressed until next season. One thing is certain: a lot of teams will simply start to ignore the run and tee off on Carr. I'm very concerned at what the Cowboys will do in 2 weeks.

    Leftwich is just slow . . . incredibly immobile
    he makes Peyton Manning look like Bo Jackson

    I remember when he ran in a 11 yr TD against the texans
    It was embarrassing becuase it took him like 5 minutes to do it

    BUT
    He does have a nice arm

    despite the fact he plays for a division rival, he's one of my favorite players in the NFL.

    For real. He's still the #1 passer in the league anyway...he still has a 2 point lead over Damon Huard of KC despite Huard's monster game against the 49ers.

    Actually I think Lundy and Taylor both have that speed. They just can't block anything, and on an O-line that's already banged up and still has pass protection issues, they're just not strong enough to worth putting them out there.

    8 teams have had byes; easier to lead the league in a cumulative stat when your team is not among that 8.

    I wonder where they stand in average per game.

    I was really impressed with one play when Gado just knocked down the dude. Cant remember if it was a LB or linemen. It was after a play where he was thrown down after the whistle blew and he was pissed. Anyways...I think its a MUST that we draft a RB in the first round. We must focus on the O-line once again but our secondary seems like our weakest link.

    Yeah, his arm is good but I was referring more towards his ability to throw key interceptions at inopportune times. He's just not a good leader and he's sack prone because of his inability to scramble.

    Carr is and will continue to improve because there are upgrades of skilled players all around him while, Leftwich has a compliment around him and yet he STILL has issues. He STILL throws picks and makes poor decisions. Thus, he is not a good leader for his team which is fine with me because we have Peyton to contend with and thats enough right now. :D

    The Packers also got absolutely stomped by the Eagles, worse than we did.

    His fumble inside his own 20 changed the momentum of the game.

    The fumble went to Favre, not Morency.
    He didn't have to share running duties with Wali Lundy... there also was no other yards from rushing attempts from a teammate in that game, aside from Brett Favre's fumble. The Packers' net rushing was 99, same as Morency's total. That tells me we should be :) instead of :mad: .
