The defense has been quite consistent this year.

I've said this before...
Brunell is as good as his team. He cannot lead a team like a Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. He cannot make something from nothing. 2005 for example, with healthy players and a solid defense... He leads the team on a huge 10-6 season. When does the criticism start to reign down on him?
When he's in the play-off game, with no receivers. No timing, nothing. He looked miserable.
Same can be applied to this year, however he has one more year added on him. He looked good against JAX, and played some pretty solid games. But when your "X factor" running-back is hurt... theres not much you can do.
I think Campbell is probably going to be more successful in this offense, once he gets that crucial element of timing down. Don't expect a 400YD performance on sunday. It'll be humbling, but not humiliating.
