I originally said 10-6, thinking that they stay at about .500 through mid-season, by then the offense would jell and they'd take off.
Now I think it may take a little longer, but I think 9-7 isn't out of the question.
I see everyone blaming Brunell. Yeah, he hasn't lit it up, and his throw-aways have been frustrating (for us), but he is Gibbs' guy, and I agree that it is not the time to make that switch (BTW, I'm a big Ramsey supporter). The biggest problem right now is the O-line. They just aren't where they need to be quite yet. There is no way Portis should have been held to under 60 yds rushing by Cleveland! He seemed...as always...to be diving and stretching and fighting for each and every yard he could get, but the holes just weren't there a lot of the time. I think they will get there, but it is taking longer than expected...
