Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)

[ArtMonkDrillz]

I am a little upset at Gibbs for sticking by Brunell (who I place the most amount of blame on). Gibbs seems to be sticking by him for personal reasons because he obviously can't get it done on the field at this point. I haven't looked over the stats yet, but I can't imagine many more teams throw the ball to their RB more than we did, but I really don't think that was by design.

The entire offense seemed to be exactly the same as last year, but with less pulling by the o-linemen. I feel like Saunders is useless at this point, but it's probably way to early to say that.

The loss of Portis is really killing us, and not just because Betts and Duckett seem to look for a big group of people to run into rather than looking for a hole. Portis would have been really helpful in pass protection last night. I would be more than happy to trade Betts for just about anyone else at any position.

And last but not least: what's the deal with Cooley? Does he even care about the game anymore? I feel like there was a play at one point (and I'm not talking about the INT) when Cooley was being covered by Williams. Williams overran the pass but Cooley seemed to jump up and bat the ball down rather than try to catch it. I think the only catch that I remember him making was in trash time.

Basically I'm just really pissed today and it's going to take all the patients I have to act like I don't care and not punch the loudmouth cowboys fan in my office in the face.
