We don't need to be "middle of the road" on offense.  Also "middle of the road" isnt an absurd amount of 3 and outs.  We had one...ONE good drive, and that was the first drive of the game.  After that all the scores came off the defense and 2 big plays to Watkins.  The defense put us in the Jets side of the field about 5 times in the first half and we only scored on 2 of them.
 
Only thing i'll give Hackett credit for is good playcalls at the goal line to make sure those became TD's.  That's about it. 
 
I get that we didn't have FJax or Spiller but Dixon/Brown are still as good as most teams have in the NFL.  Also, we have a great group of receivers who need touches.  Watkins-Woods-Hogan-Chandler with the occassional deep pass to Goodwin.  These guys are young but talented as ****.  Get them the ball.  Orton is absolutely capable of doing that.  Maybe try some shorter routes earlier in the downs so every pass play isnt 20-50 yards down field that takes time to develop.  Then use those pass plays to set up the run.  It seems like all we do is run and throw deep passes.
