No imagination from Nixon as many have said, but if you look at the first play of the second drive, it was obvious ND was selling out on the run up the middle, we had a WR in motion, after the handoff Fillardi ran to the left trailing the WR, if that had been a fake to Nixon, there was plenty of running room and we would have had the option to pitch to the WR if a DB had come up, big gain possibility.  This is the kind of thing that a OC with some imagination might see and say lets try and keep some people on the back side home and take advantage of a defenses aggressiveness.   Again we do the same simple things over and over again and fail.  I'm not saying we should run an option offense but we need to get creative but we don't even try, we really haven't and we don't have anything to lose, I don't get it.   Even good teams with non running QBs once in a while fake the handoff and the QB takes off running around the end.  No attempt to keep the defense honest.
