I dont know what people were really expecting this year, but I had a very stark realization earlier this season, when in one of Wilbon's columns he pointed out that the big FA signings and playoff run last year totally conflicted with our approach of sitting Campbell and playing Brunell because "he gave us the best chance to win today".

Once it became apparent that the season was mostly over with, Campbell got the keys to the car, with little pressure, and it's essentially Rebuilding Time. Hell, even Saunders said it would take a full year for this offense to get into sync.

The plain fact is that last year, minus some key big plays, our offense was a disaster, and the defense was keeping us in games. We certainly didn't have a consistent offensive approach that was effective, other than short passes to Santana that he freelanced into long TD's after the catch.

This year with Jason, I'm seeing a lot more to feel good about, it's just that our defense isn't carrying the load it did last year, so it's ALL on the offense's shoulders.
