    but if they don't quit this conservative crap they are not gonna beat the jets. we needed 2 1/2 yds for a 1stand that pretty much would have ended the game. they throw for 1, wtf!

    I think this article below touches base on what happens if your offense does not move the ball in the 2nd half and scores points. It wears on your defense.
    But stats don't lie, this is a game we could have lost if our defense broke down....

    The postgame jokes could just as easily have been somber postmortem explanations of how the offense was blanked in the second half and lost the time-of-possession battle by nearly 17 minutes.

    Pennington's shortcomings on third down (1-of-7) nearly wore down his own defense, which kept bending but refused to break despite allowing the 49ers to convert 8 of 17 third downs and rack up 24 first downs to the Dolphins' 11.

    They only called 6 running plays in the first half. That's not conservative. I think they just try to exploit a perceived defensive weakness.

    The Jets have not impressed me. They were extremely lucky that JP Lossman pulled a Sage Rosenfels for them and handed them that game. I'll be interested to see how they perform next week.

    yes, but a majority of the passes were short.

    The offense better start taking more shots down field and converting on 3rd downs because we aren't going to keep dodging these bullets.

    Coach mentioned that, said they were in a long ball prevention mode all game. He used a term, but I'm too drugged to remember.. Dentist hurt me good this time.

    whats frustrating is that if we could score just 20-24 points, we win most games with a lot less stress

    Ginn needs to start falling forward at the very least as well.
