why the running game is not working

and the receivers aren't living on the past because they have no past. there's nothing there as far as experience goes.

of COURSE the receivers are mostly to blame for the terrible passing game, and as a result, the bad running game.

Just a thought....for those that may not remember or weren't alive then...the 70's Dolphins ran the football.

They ran the football and EVERY team they faced knew they were going to run the football...yet they still were able to run and win most games.

Running is a mindset....many teams today don't have what it takes to play that way...because it takes commitment as a team...and teams today don't have the patience or the manhood to stick with their plans.

Lets also add...that the game has gotten points crazy...fans want points....sometimes more than a win...I rather see a low scoring game...a controlled game by run and a strong defense...than a 70-80 point game that no team can stop the other.

your right it was me who wished injury on chad. i am guilty of that . i dont want 2 see him get hurt bad i was just kinds of hoping for a broken finger on his throwing hand. or maybe a torn ligiament on his throwing hand.now u are 100% right that chad is a very smart qb and a class act. i know a strong arm is overated but chad has the worst arm in the nfl hands down. it seems like his arm gets weaker and weaker with age and injurys. the truth is i just really want 2 see ginn and ronnie brown succeed and i feel that penningotns lack of arm strengh is hurting ginn cause ginn is a deep threat. and i know chads lack of a arm is causing teams 2 stack the box against the running game cause teams know that chad cant go deep, and the jets stated that .

UN - FREAKIN - BELIEVEABLE!!!!!!!

I am going to ignore everything and anything you say from here on out. To hope for an injury on any player.. but expecially on 'your' team is deplorable.

Talk about UNACCEPTABLE!

You don't have to be a fan of the guy... but that is way over the top.
