If the offensive PI call does not happen (didn't see a replay, so I have no idea what happened) Ramsey on that drive hit a long pass to Moss and a TD to Cooley. There would be no discussion here. In the 2nd half, Portis cam to life. That makes a QBs job easier. There was not much of a running game with Ramsey in there. Brunnell made some clutch 3rd down throws, but so did PR.

The main knock on PR is how long it takes him to read defenses. Brunnell does a better job there. But PR with time is a better passer. Still, Brunnell hit that great roll-out fake reverse play (best call of the game)--not sure Pat can hit that. So both have their strong points. I'd stick with PR. But there is just no doubt that Gibbs feels more comfortable with Brunnell in there--not sure if it's just because he overpaid for him, but really its because he admires Mark as a person, leader, etc. And he ALWAYS went with vets in the past. We'll see.

Gotta score more than 9 points, no matter who is in there. What is wrong with our red zone offense?!?!?! COME ON! That's got to be fixed.
