    We have seen this problem back and before him with red zone problems. I can’t understand why this hasn’t been addressed. Like new plays, formation, etc.

    Offensive line ruined the first drive. Russell has zero time to throw.

    On that int in the endzone ... Washington is almost 7' tall and he didn't even attempt to jump to catch the ball ... to bail his qb out. And mind you ... who was running for his life to even get a pass off.

    Arthur Smith hasn't done a good job with the red zone offense, I'm not a fan of running it on first and second downs.

    Given that the only passes that work consistently are 40 yard moon shot bombs to the one WR who can catch while spinning upside down and sideways, things get much harder when such a pass puts the ball into the stands.

    For some reason Russell Wilson just refuses to tuck the ball and run toward the goal line. Many times, in the past 4 games I was thinking if that is Justin Fields, he is in for the TD.

    I hope to see Justin out there in some redzone packages next week, now that the Steelers are willing to let Justin play a little.

    We rely too much on Harris in the red zone. It's also too predictable when we are going to run.

    Was funny when Russell put it on one of the Ravens and he got up hurting. Forgot who it was...lol

    The offensive play calling was not good yesterday but our line played poorly which caused Russ to have happy feet all game.

    Russ is certainly the better overall QB and can keep defenses honest passing the ball but red zone packages for Fields is a good idea. If there was one thing Fields did well earlier in the year was running in for TDs
