What has held us back the most from winning?

I just want to hear it, plain and simple.

I'm going to say the QB. JP's lack of execution when a play is called forces the coaches to pick plays that limits his exposure / risk but limits our ability to score.

Playcalling

Deep throw to Evans on 3rd and 5 when we needed a first down to drain the clock?

BTW, play calling.

[Mr. Pink]

Inability to sustain drives and score points.

We all knew the defense would be gouged coming into this season, what we didn't expect was that our offense would look even more inept.

[Bill Brasky]

The front office/ownership and it's inability to get good players in here.

All of the above

All of the above

Can you be more specific??

Piss poor ownership and marketing.

It's bad enough we're perhaps the worst team in the league.

It's even worse that the 31 other cities don't even know we exist half the time.

Stud # 2WR

Stud OLB

Stud TE

A DE with a funny name like okinmi Yagouwa, preferably black ..pass rush specialist.

While I am asking another CB or 2....

M Shottinheimer he got fired for losing to the cheating NE.

Coaching.

The 2 teams that played last night were a perfect illustration. Belichek didn't always have the loaded team he has now, but he has consistently produced winners. Because he's a great coach.

The Chargers have as much talent as a team could hope for, but Turner is not a good coach.

We haven't had a truly good or great coach in a long, long time...

JP LOSERSUCK....that's what has held this team back!!!!

[ParanoidAndroid]

It's JP, the play calling, and missed blocking assignments. We have a QB who lives and dies by the long ball, sails his intermediate and short passes high when throwing from the pocket, and presses for the big play when the checkdown's are there. Price looked like he was getting open and there were open receivers down the seam, but JP can't find them. You have to hit the seam in a 2 deep zone like Pittsburgh was playing and I never saw one attempt there. I saw a QB holding the ball way too long.
I don't understand why they are tring so hard to make JP a straight pocket passer when he is so much better moving into daylight.
They should either let JP be JP or move on to Edwards if he is the type of QB they want.
JP need to get the ball into Marshawn's hands in the short passing game and teams will soon have to bring the safety up, making it tougher to take away the deep ball on both sides of the field. Price still has the speed to get deep and all he needs is a couple of big gainers before teams have to account for him while freeing up Evans on ocassion.
Sometimes I think they should start bringing out the punt return team, hike the ball 20 yards deep and set up the wedge for Parrish and McGee.
