Positives??
Okay, another game we SHOULD have won but didn't. Yes, the offense again was barely present, BUT considering the fact that our defense played awesome! The Ravens happened to be very opportunistic on a couple plays..othewise we outplayed them throughout most of the ball game. At least we have been in every game we've lost (in fact have led in most of them), and that means we're not THAT bad.
I don't think Brunell is the future of the team, but he is playing smart football. Guys, he's gotta get help from the running game and the Ravens' D is just tough! Forget their rating, when you have a defense that is led by Ray Lewis you have your hands full! I'm not completely sold on Clinton Portis. I think he's better if he is a back that is rotated in and out, but we need a power house back like we had in Stephen Davis...that is a Redskins back that Gibbs needs. I also don't like the fact that Portis is running his mouth about the coaching....he doesn't like being told what to do! I just don't think he's a fit in Gibb's offense...he' going to be good but not in this style of offense. Back to Brunell though...where are all the open receivers? Look how many times a game Brunell has to throw the ball away(wisely)? We have injuries on the offensive line....sending Ramsey in is just a change of pace but this about it. I dunno though..when you're at 1-4 it can get really depressing. We have been worse though.... 0-5.
