If you're going to put blame on Brunell's inability to move the ball in the playoffs, you might as well put the blame on Portis's inability to establish an effective running game, and Moss's inability to get open on every single play, and Cooley's inability to get open for the big plays in the playoffs. When your offense lives and dies by the running game and you only have one true deep threat receiver, no quarterback is going to be able to move the ball successfully.

You should define records, those were team records, not NFL. If you only throw to 2 guy's that will happen.

Of coarse we improved on offense, but I think it was down right impossible to go backwards.

Our offensive performance in the last 3 games is what makes my statement correct, obviously you get caught up with a stat sheet and can't really see what's actually happening on the field, those stats are misleading and irrelevant, if they had bearing we wouldn't have pounded out the worst offensive performance in a playoff win in the history of the NFL, yes I said NFL record, not team.

Laying the blame on Portis in the Seattle game is ridiculous, did you watch that game, Seattle was sending 7 guys at him where ever he went with no caution to misdirection, why you ask? Could it be they didn't have any real worries about Brunell beating them downfield?

You are not going to run the ball I don't care who you are if you become 1 dimensional, you have to be able to beat a team in the air if they over committ to the run, Brunell never did that.
