More Creativity Needed on Offense

You are spot on, as far as I can tell.  I'd also point out something that I read in the preseason, and before Eifert went down, (and then Kroft) about the TEs.  Lazor said we were going to see a lot of the TE in this year's version of the offense.  Until after Atlanta, we did.  I recall seeing all three of them on the field at times, and a helluva lot of two TE sets.  That gives you a plethora of options in the run game and passing game.  It can help with the oline struggles as well, obviously.  Once Eifert and Kroft went out, that was it.

This.

The TE injuries went even beyond Eifert and Kroft. They had to bring in Lengel and he was forced onto the field that week because Schreck went down. The next week Lengel was injuried. At times Uzomah has been hurt and just trying to push through. Until the last two weeks they haven't been able to run any heavy formations because they just didn't have any TEs to field. That limits the looks an OC can give a defense making it a lot easier to defend against.
