Two questions:
Would one solution to try to get back on track go back to running a two-man backfield more often with a fullback? At least to open holes in the running game and give Mac more protection?
Also, why do they give up on the run game some quickly? Yeah, the turnover-TDs made it catch-up mode, but it sure seems like if they get nothing going on the ground in the first two series, they abandoned it completely. A big part of the O-Line's reputation comes from the the run game. Going pass-first exposes the tackles.
