But Schaub's arm and legs (or lack of), and the OL have all been a part of a highly successful offense in the very recent past. We entered the NE game as the #2 scoring offense in the NFL, now we've managed a total offensive flop in NE (with some garbage time stats), and 1 offensive TD and 7 FGs in the last two games against mediocre teams.
We are rarely attempting to throw the ball deep, we have almost stopped running the bootleg, and have completely stopped the bootleg throwback. Kubiak has gone into ultimate "no chances/play not to lose/conservative mode" and the execution has not been there to convert the 3rd downs (or make the early downs work).
What happened to the offense that went to Denver and hit long TD passes off of Play action and allowed the run game to get going. That offense was a safety's nightmare.
