If we had went 1 for 6 on short yardage instead of 6 for 6, or receivers weren't getting separation and we were getting shut down running the football, we would have gotten destroyed on Monday.

I don’t think we’ve ever had issues with running the ball. But we were guided by a run heavy script against a run D that seemed content letting us run. Yes better on short yardage.
No we aren’t better at separation. Teams are selling the hell out against our playmakers. We arent getting separation. We are getting our 3 worst guys roaming free out there because they are liabilities when we throw it to them. Defenses continually make adjustments to find ways to funnel the offense to our worst guys and it’s working. So yeah as long as we continue to struggle after defenses adjust to taking out our playmakers, we have the same issues. We were in this game because of a great initial offense script and a defense that gifted our offense possessions and field position.
