This is the biggest issue for this team. Just looking at the stats tells the whole story about why this team has not been winning close games. Jags don't get pinned back that often, but they never get great field position either. Makes it hard to have to always move down the full field.

 

 It also underscores the issues that we have been talking about consistently:

 

1) Not getting TO's

2) Special team failures. Poor coverage and returns as well as inconsistent punts/kickoffs. 

3) Not getting teams off the field.

4) Not excelling in 1 area. To be a great team. You have to excel at one thing, a calling card. He helps make up for whatever deficiencies you have. The offensive has been giving flashes, which may be all you can truly expect from such a completely young group of a players.

2 games in a row bad teams drove 90 yards down the field on us!! Ugh
The 3rd and 12 and 4th down play against the jets showed me that the defense is bad.
