'05 - T111st: 29.7% (3-8)
'04 - 64th: 35.8% (3-8)

if we could make it to near a 40% conversion rate and keep our defense consistently decent and in the top half as it has been recently, i would be happy. which means we need to improve playcalling on first and second to give us a better chance at 3rd. its like groundhog day watching our offense trying to function. nothing earth-shattering, but some of you might appreciate it.

Good info. We don't use Dak right, another of the plethora of issues with our offense. I hate seeing him come in with 2 TEs. The scouting report on Dak in that package has to say "QB keeps it 85% of the time".

We need to spread the D out in that spot and turn it into a true read option. Put him back there with 4 WRs, that will keep the D from loading 10 in the box and blowing up the gaps.

Great stat's! Those 7 patsy's we played last year padded that as well. I'd love to see the stat's for just conference games. Bet we are at 25% or below.

Maybe we should spread the fun?
