what happened to our offense?

Because as much as some fans want to keep saying it we are not a run first team. Kubiak wants a solid rushing attack. He wants the rushing and passing formations to look identical. Yes he will rush to run out the clock. None of which means run first.

Probably has something to do with us being in the bottom half of the league in passing attempts and number 2 in rushing attempts.

Which part of rush to run out the clock did you not understand? We led the league in passing and sucked in rushing when we were playing from behind. Kubiak built this team to be exactly what the commentators have called it all season - balanced. We are not ground and pound, run it up the guy, run first.

We are more balanced that a lot of teams, yes, but we want to run the ball.

That doesn't mean we are going to be some pre-historic offense and run the ball all game long. What it means is that in this day and age, we are a running team.

If we aren't a running team, no one is.

No one rushes for more than they pass anymore.
