I'm very concerned to put it mildly ! I don't pretend to have an answer but there's no way we're going to have a successful season averaging 2 yards a carry or something. Like Shake said in the game day thread we can survive with an ok run game but we're gonna get killed with a crappy one.

And right now we stink !

Look, the Bengals were great in that first half. You are being a worry wart.  Of course they aren't going to get rushing yards when the long bomb to Ross hits first play and Dalton is hitting everybody.  Look, I saw the O Line blocking.  Many see Ross, I see the O Line blocking.  This O Line is coming together with rookie Price and Bills Left Tackle. Because of NFL Players Union training camp and practices cut way back, they have only been at this new O Line for about 4 weeks now. They have 2 weeks before start of season. All things considered, they looked good to me Preseason Game 3 and they did not, as you say, " Stink ".  That was a great first half.
