We have a good group of wide receivers, but they have been struggling, as has the ENTIRE OFFENSE from the play calling on down. Yeah, Portis is pushing 1,000 yards, but TWO rushing TD's after 10 games?!? Come on! It's all of them....but that does not mean they don't have the talent and potential to turn it around and start playing well.

I hear ya, dude. Yes, nobody on offense is safe from criticism. And I agree with you, as mundane as the passing game was against the Eagles, Ramsey was still 1000 times better than Brunell. Ramsey's completion percentage, 21 for 34, is something Brunell couldn't do in 5 games -- and that was with multiple drops from wideouts and running backs.
You're also correct about playcalling. I heard the Eagles were something like 23rd in the NFL against the run. Yet we had a grand total of 51 yards on 22 rushes. I hate to admit that Joe Gibbs called a bad game, but I've never seen him ignore such an obvious weak spot in an opponent and fail to exploit it.
The wideouts are simply another facet of an incompetent, buffoon-like offense that just happens to be the focus of all the bitching this week.
