They're not setting themselves up for 3rd down success, even despite 1st down being good for them. 3rd and 5+ over and over is not a recipe for offensive success, and it has to improve. I can't help but feel that it's a direct reflection of the play calling too.
I saw a stat that they had 7 3rd down and 3 or shorter situations yesterday which was the most of the NFL and only converted 2 of them. Also that they rank 30th in the NFL on converting those 3rd and short situations so far this season. Seems to be something that needs to be looked at but also should be very fixable.
