Week 16: Chesapeake (5-9) at Las Vegas (2-12)
Two to go, and here’s one where we have a shot, even on the road. I have Biddle out again at QB, and we have some chance against the struggling Lightning, or whatever they call themselves now.

Well, no turnovers in the whole game, our offense didn’t do much, but our defense played well. Actually, let me correct that – to say that our offense “didn’t do much” really gives them a good deal more credit than they deserve. We posted 4.3 yard per play on the day, which despit being slightly better than the 3.6 we allowed, is just pathetic. Our offense is thoroughly flaccid as we wrap up this season, and the fault for this lies nowhere else but right here at the top.
So, we’re shut out by a team who jumps to 3-12 on the year. Nice.
Let’s face facts. This offensive line is a real soft spot. Here are the main stats for them this year:

Looking at our composite nubers from the OL – our per-slot production is about 28% on key run blocks – and that just doesn’t get it done. Our tackles, both first round picks and both guys who have been fully healthy all year long, are just not getting the job done for us in the running game. And neither one of those guys is exactly slanted toward the pass protecion skills, either – they ought to be solid, balanced guys. And both guys are playing at about the level we might expect from a waiver wire pickup.
C Winston Turnbull has played pretty well, as has Lenny Boyd when he’s ben given a chance to get on the field. But there really isn’t any god news here – the line stinks, they have played terribly, and with the marginal skill players we field, we just can’t get anything done. We are averageing 3.62 yards per carry – ranking us 26th in a league of 32. That’s a disgrace, especially for a team that passes a lot, and ought to have defenses softening up against the run so this is actually
worse than it seems – there probably aren’t five teams who run the ball less effectivey than we do.
Oh, and as if we didn’t have enough bad news to round out this stinker… we have usffered a serious injury to DT Eugene Bradham, arguably our best player on the whole team. The run-stopping lineman has suffered “repetetive concussion syndrome” and is listed as out. For, uh, 88 weeks. We’ll have to do a stats elegy soon, as we probably won’t see him back on the field again.
When it rains, it fucking pours, eh?
