Not to excuse the conservative play, but it SHOULD have worked.

After we went up 10, I really felt like if we stopped them the next drive, we would win going away. At that point our D seemed to be doing a decent enough job. In fact, I think that next drive, on 3rd and long, Whigham missed an easy  tackle on #4, they convert, and go on to score their TD to bring it within 3. In fact, after that missed tackle, our D just completely fell apart for the rest of the game. Our O, in turn, didn't get the ball much of the 4th, and when they did, couldn't generate anything outside the missed FG drive.

I'm all over the place with this post, but if we cannot run the ball consistently without Dungey's scrambleds, and the D is taking away the downfield shots (that we relied on early in the season, to pull our bacon out of the fire), we are in trouble. We simply [I]are not capable[/I] (at this point)  of dinking and dunking down the field with short/medium passes, with any regularity.
