It began when Grey was stood up and fumbled (which was run back for a touchdown) in Kelly's first game. Lack of a strong running game, as opposed to passing, and the failure to recruit goal line busting fullbacks have been trademarks of the problem.

        That's true, but there's a reason why red zone efficiency is emphasized. Irish_Demon 4:16pm · 4/15/21
        
        I think your narrative is probably accurate. But I think the stat is misleading.Link Napoleon 6:14pm · 4/15/21
        
        You're right. On its own, the stat is misleading. When TD pct is added then it becomes more telling. Irish_Demon 7:38pm · 4/15/21
