Agree. Not too many one sided teams are successful. Those teams with huge edge to the pass are either: A) quick pass team similar to a west coast offense or B) always behind.

Don't ask me why, but when we signed Martz I got soooooo excited and thought of Marshall Faulk, Issac Bruce, Torry Holt, and Kurt Warner and thought OMG, we have the chance to score a lot of points on the ground and through the air. And all you keep hearing is wait till were all comfortable in this offense and it will be a great show. I get that we have a problem with the O-Line, but there has to be a way to adjust. I know, how bout making a trade for an offensive tackle that knows how to pick up a corner or safety on a blitz. Anyone?

Yeah...except it all starts with an OL. If the OL sucks, you cant pass, you cant run, you can do shit. So yeah...until that is fixed, then the Martz offense is just a pipe dream. Just to prove the point...you left off a guy named "Orlando Pace." And im not talking Orlando-just got cut from the Bears-Pace, no, im talking about future HoFer Pace.

The offensive line is simply offensive. Fire all of them. Go out to the nearest all-you-can-eat and find five fat guys off the street. They couldn't do much worse. The play calling is ridiculous. The Bears did so well running the ball last week, so you know how many times they ran the ball yesterday? Twelve times not counting two Jay Cutler scrambles. Man this is getting ridiculous especially when you consider the onslaught this quarterback is facing. Greg Olsen is as useless as tits on a bull. If the ball isn't placed exactly between the 8 and the 2 on the front of his jersey, he ain't catching it. BUST!!!! Devin Hester is simply RIDICULOUS. Another punt return for a TD, to officially tie the NFL record. Earl Bennett may not come up big on the stats sheet, (3 catches for 55 yards) but did you see him completely annihilate the Seahawks punter on the Devin Hester punt return? I don't care if it's the punter; that was an instant classic!

Jimmors you hit the nail on the head. The Rams in those days actually had someone who could hold a block long enough to give Warner time to pass. With the trade deadline tomorrow, I hope when I wake up, we have done something to help improve the O-Line. I'm not saying give up on the young guys, just let them learn from somebody who knows what they are doing.

LOL! Isn't that what we do all ready? I mean shit, they have 3 or 4 recievers on the field at least 60% of the time.
