My Theory as to our Offensive Ineptitude

They should have "gelled" after the first month. If they haven't "gelled" by now they aren't going to. Other teams seem to be able to plug and play 2nd or 3rd stringers and play well together. (See yesterday with Dallas, playing with a patch OLine) pushed our D up and down the field.

Because in practice, they are playing they're own defense and even then the practice defense is probably not trying to beat the offense.

In addition to that, each team in the NFL has their own defensive-style. There are different base defenses amongst each team and even teams that run the same base defenses, there are different blitz strategies and different tendencies by each DC in what they like to do in certain down-and-distance scenarios.

So, no, they shouldn't have gelled "after the first month" of practice.
