some perspective on the season so far

[Beemnseven]

Here's another reason the comparisons to '05 need to end: Last year we had a defense we could almost always count on. Save for a blowout at Giants Stadium, a shootout with Tampa Bay, and a long run in OT by Tomlinson, Williams & Co. gave us everything we asked for.

This year? Not so much... We have inconsistency on offense, pretty much the way we saw it last season, but this time ZERO help from the D. And no, it doesn't all hinge on Shawn Springs.
