[Athos]

We are dead last in the NFL in 3rd down %.

Wanna know how bad?

Kraperdouche and the Whiners have converted 19 more 3rd down than we have.

Jags? 17 more.

Our 3rd down % is 23. 5 points below the next suckiest 3rd down team, Miami.

Whiners? 35%.

Raiders? Things are looking up. 43.8%. 9th in the league. I sure wish we had Carr.

Newton has almost has much rushing TDs as Foles has passing.

Foles only completing passes thrown 1-10 yards at a 53% rate.

Shouldn't we be missing "Check-down Sammy?"

It doesn't help that the 1st and 2nd down plays are only gaining 2 or 3 yards total just about EVERY possession. 1st down, run off tackle for 2 yards. 2nd down, run up the middle for no gain. Sprinkle in a Tavon gimmick play or an incomplete pass here and there and that's our offense for the first 2 downs. Then the Foles throwaway or dropped pass to Cook.

3rd down is usually representative of the OC and the QB.
Is it Foles showing he is incapable of working through his progressions and finding an open man or is it Cigs calling plays that don't utilize our playmakers in key situations?
I'm leaning towards Foles but I'm not completely sure.

Some of us do, and bad. Regarding, SB.
