I don't share your skepticism about Gibbs, but overall a nice critique.

I had a bad feeling going into this game. I knew that we had some weaknesses defending the long ball (even before Taylor got into trouble), and I thought that Favre could really exploit that. I think that this game could have been a lot worse, though if it weren't for the D. You've got to give a ton of credit to the defense. Their play has been stellar all year.

I have no faith in Mark Brunell right now. He is terrible and hasn't showed any signs of improving. He overthrew like 5 balls today to guys that were wide open! I was hoping that he was gonna get hurt (yeah yeah yeah, i know...) so that he would be put on the bench. Gardner looked better in the pocket today during his one pass than Brunell.

The refs blew another game today. Anyone else catch the smirk on the referee when he was calling Portis' TD back? That was such a bogus call it wasn't even funny. Something has to be done about the officiating in this league.
