AFC East now and in the future.

But getting to the Red Zone is the issue. 46 trips to red zone in 16 games ranks us 23rd in the league.
We are good when we get there but we don't get there nearly enough.

True we don't...and execution on 3rd and very short killed a lot of drives...qb sneak keepers could have helped with some of that...6 ft 4 220 lb qb athlete...use him...also a short yardage run game...I expect lazor to use the former we will see if we got the oline and run scheme to execute the latter...

By the way, Ryan only had 6 of 87 or better. 2 of which were against us the first game where he had a poor game and at Pitt where he was mediocre at best so #s don't tell the whole story.

yeah our short yardage game has sucked since Polite left. He was almost automatic. A couple of times I was screaming at TV to run a QB sneak. Instead they toss it back to the half back and lose yards. Hopefully that will change this year.

Comes down to not having the horses up front to be able to run the ball when the d knows it's coming...Miami could not line up and hand the ball off and get any push in the run game when the d knew it was coming...it was very obvious...

Our defense had almost as many long TD's as our offense. think it ended up 3-2 in favor of offense.

Actually ended up being 6 scores outside the red zone for offense and 2 long scores for the defense.
little better but not much.

At one point the defense had scored on 2 long plays and the offense had only scored 1 time outside the red zone.
Then the Clay TD against Chargers made it even. In the last few games we hit on some plays outside the red zone to take us to 6.
