These past few games (while meaning absolutely nothing in the standings) should keep their heads level.

Yeah, we keep hearing this (the bolded phrase) but yet, they're running "vanilla" schemes, the basic stuff that every offense runs -- including Gibbs' from just last year -- and having lots of trouble executing it.

You can't claim that "they're learning a new system" and cry that the coaches are calling plays that are "simple," and "too vanilla."
