Probably the most damning stat I've seen on our offense is the teams pitiful performance on 3rd down and in the Red Zone, where we rank worst in the league.
A telling stat that could be a reason is we pass on a league high 71% of our 1st downs when within 14 points. (Playing from behind is only excuse for going pass happy when its a 3 TD game or there's not much time left)
