No, but it's been a problem all year - and certainly a problem when LJ was available that they could have tried to fix. When your primary RB is Chris Brown, something is broken despite the one or two games were the running game actually works.

I agree with your assessment of yesterday, though. Why Kubiak didn't run it on 2nd-2 and 3rd-2 down in the redzone in the first half is beyond me. These guys are too smart for their own good and it's just another example of the zanny redzone playcalling this regieme seems to constantly make. Unfortunately, it all appeared to go downhill from there. At least offensively. Defensively, the bogus interference call knocked the wind out of them.
