I think we'll beat the Bears, but getting 21 points from this offense could be asking too much. If you figure there's a score from a defensive play or a special teams return, that's one thing.

But It took overtime to score 20 points last night. Every other outing so far has been good for 17 points or less. Yes, I know. We haven't seen the starters for a full game, but unless there's drastic improvement from Ramsey and his cohesion with Moss and Patten, it could still take some time before we become an offensive juggernaut scoring 21 points.

For those of you calling for Antonio Brown's head because he's not a good receiver, just remember this:

He won't be in position to catch many anyway. Gibbs rarely uses 4 wideout formations. Even when he does, it's usually a trick to spread the defense and call a draw play. Moss, Patten, Cooley and Thrash will catch the majority of all passes thrown this year, barring injury. If you go back to Gibbs' offense from the glory days, take a look at how much the fourth wideout was a part of the passing attack. Very, very little.

Worst case scenario if one of the starters gets injured, Brown will stay where he is fielding punts and kickoffs, while Taylor Jacobs steps up and becomes the Hall of Famer so many people think he will be. If he's able to come back from the chapped lips and ankle blisters that keep him sidelined, that is.

I said 21 cause I"m a fan, Portis is killing, our line is much improved, (PLEASE SEE JANSEN'S blocks on the A. Brown reverse and the Rock TD run last week) - OUR BELOVED P. Ramsey is the only question mark, he is not looking comfortalbe, I agree Bees, he still has not gelled with our Off and WR's ...realistically I say we put up 17, and do so for a few games till PR warms up.
