Seriously though. You have one of the best RBs in the league and you've run a total of... not once. Not one run play called in four games. Be respectful to the other players; stop tanking and play the **** game.

And Carolina did not throw one pass against me today...

so you say that i am tanking....did you see that my best QB has been hurt all year....did you see that my number 1 receiver has been hurt all year....did you see my other injuries...did you see that my defense does not seem to be able to stop anybody on the ground or in the air...thanks for kicking me when i am down !!

KC ..you were up by one point against me (at halftime)...you call that tanking....wait till i play you again in three weeks...my #1 QB will be back and we'll see how you do then...

How could you possible excuse not running the ball -once- this season on the fact that you were missing your star QB and WR? Call me crazy, but wouldn't the obvious solution to that be RUNNING the ball more? Also, an injured ankle isn't really much of an issue for a QB; Rauch could have played. And other than that... what injuries? A few probable players is really nothing of note. Everyone deals with that. In fact, my own injury list is twice as long. However, that is neither here nor there. The issue is that you're putting your team at a distinct disadvantage, intentional or not, by refusing to run the ball. So if you ARE trying to compete, please take my advice and dial up some run plays.

check the record....made the playoffs with this strategy last year when my #1 QB went down...
....and I'm not whining about my injuries like some people ...I'm pointing out that i'm not tanking...
....and I'm not criticizing people when they get off to a slow start (like you are !!)

If you have no intentions of running the ball, will you trade my your RB then?

afraid not...he is now my #3 receiver....he likes it better...he doesn't get beat up as much and has the skills for the position...

I'm no expert, but I'm sure Oakland isn't trying to tank. I had a tough time against Oakland in Week 1, I couldn't slow down the pass. The only reason I won was because he couldn't slow down my offense either! It was more like a basketball score at the end... anyhow, it's not balanced, but an owner has the right to throw the ball all the time, or run all the time, or blitz all the time, or go for it on 4th down. To each his own...

I agree Ares, but Straw is a good owner and based on that alone, I would surmise that his strategy is different than what you and I would do, but he has his reasons.
That being said, I repeat, straw is a good owner and MFN would be better if we had more straw type owners in the game
