    Execute. Don't drop passes, don't miss your blocks, tackle, don't miss wide open receivers and don't let their receivers run wide open.

    lol. I went redzone then, since that was my other thought.

    That was fast too!
    We all know there are always several factors that determine the outcome. But I keep finding interesting what everyone sees as main issue.

    Red Zone.

    Must. Score. TDs.

    (and if the D can get off the field, that would be nice too)

    not commit costly mistakes by our veteran so called field general on offense when trying make touchdowns and not field goals, or converting 3rd downs, by not spreading the ball around

    situational football people
    gotta win in the trenches
    and execute the right play at the right time
    with the right personnel

    Players do your job take the early lead keeping the foot on the gas for 60mins.

    hire the guy that busted nancy Kerrigan's knees and send him after jj watt 3 hrs before the game... then give him a bonus and have him take out arian foster..

    then come game time, unleash hell

    All of the above, this team is not good enough to overcome adversity. They need a complete game to win

    To paraphrase Madden, at the end of the game they need to have more points than the other team.

    I went for converting on 3rd down, although "no stupid penalties" is the underlying motto of the season for me.

    I think that falls under "redzone efficiency." ;)

    We don't have a problem getting there. We have a problem closing the deal.

    Gilooly was his name. There's a pretty funny song on youtube called "go Gilooly" in reference to Tom Brady (as in it was the only way to stop the Pats). Next year he went down with a knee injury.... lol irony. It's worth a listen tho. Pretty funny

    He may find it more difficult taking out JJ then it was an 80lbs girl

    I dunno....the way a couple of the games have gone this year, I might be more worried about what the backups would do to us. We probably game-plan against the stars, but it sure doesn't show against the 'no-name' players that have been gashing us....

    I guess 'hope Fitzpatrick never runs play action' is probably not much of a strategy.....

    Red zone efficiency by far, you know the defense aren't going to stop them
