The running game has been substandard, but not miserable. The problem really has been penalties - loads and loads and LOADS of penalties. And then they're just not connecting on third down - ever. It makes no sense that a team with this kind of firepower should be striking out on 80% of their 3rd down attempts.
The team is just way the hell out of sync.

I bet some of your players are having self-esteem issues. Have you tried giving them positive reinforcement?
