I have rewatched many of the Tivo'd games and it has become very clear what the problem is. The defense can't get turnovers. If we could just get one more turnover each game, we would probably be 4 and 3. If we want to stop these teams from bombing us all the time, we are going to have to make them pay with some INT's. AND..it's crazy the way we knock the ball carriers around but don't ever get to the ball. Yeah our coverage stinks, but I think that Vincent and Springs will help get that fixed.
Brunell looks bad, but he is left handed and Jansen appears to have lost all ability to pass block. A couple of time against the Colts he didn't even appear to touch his guy. He was better with broken thumbs last year. I loved the guy, but he is starting to look like Raymer. I would be looking to dump the ball off too. I agree with Gibbs that Brunell can make every throw. The problem is his protection sucks and it scares him. Maybe the coaches are making Mark get rid of the ball fast because they are seeing the suckyness of the o-line's blocking.
Also, can someone please tape up Rabachs hands so he stops holding on every other play?
