Oh the horror!!!

Let's not get carried away.

Collins made some really bad decisions. Were they worse than that pass by Brunell? No.

Collins had a defender all over him every single play. Peyton Manning would look bad under those circumstances.

Takeaways: JC looks decent. The first team defense is disgusting (although Palmer wasn't in). Rocky is a tackling machine. If Portis isn't hurt too bad, everything is fine.

This is exactly what they need. I don't want to hear stupid comments about the Super Bowl if this is how the overall team responds.

I would disagree with you...Brunell looked good otherwise, his other throws were on target when he wasnt under pressure. that int was him trying to throw it out, but it doesnt matter, collins looks much worst. he throws 5 yard outs, and brunell is much more comfortable. Yeah the loss isnt a big deal, but collins sucks, and you cant run from that.

When Brunell had someone in his face, he looked like Collins.

I agree with this. Wake up call. ANd I agree about not getting carried away--it is the first game in preseason and we've only been in for a little while.

Main issue (beyond the obvious injury problems)--did we see any depth at Oline? Any other players step up? Kenny Wright didn't look too good. I liked Manny WHite on that one play.

I've never liked collins, he's a 3rd string qb at best, cut him!

Woah, i wouldn't go that far. He's here to help Brunell and Campbell learn the system, nothing more. That said, if he had to play a regular season game we'd probably suck.
