our offense is healthy, only been improved at key positions, and it's still sucking. so whats the main reason for those results? your boy Brunell.

Right, it's all on him.

We'll see what happens if a change is made.

As for the D, what was their excuse earlier in the year when they were a lot healthier than they are now??

well that was the same offense as last year Matty. or are you saying adding Lloyd and Randle El really screwed up the chemistry of the whole offense?

weak argument on the defense, you call having Springs and Prioleau out "healthy"? even if they were healthy and playing they are clearly NOT the same defense as last year. Harris and Clark were both clearly overlooked here and they've been playing real well where they went.

I've also heard all year how losing one guy on defense shouldn't make a big difference.

Let's face it, both sides of the ball has major problems. And with Novak, even the special teams is screwed.

um, i don't know where you're getting that "losing one guy" from.

we started this season without TWO of our starters, plus Joe and Corn have been intermittent all year, with a revolving door of new guys in the secondary. we all know why the defense is sucking.

ALL our starting offense is playing, and unless Al Saunders' playbook is 700 pages of dumping the ball off to the back or the sideline WR comeback....most of us here know why the offense is sucking.

We started the year down Springs. That's one starter, unless I'm missing someone.

Look, I agree that the injuries have hurt us defensively. But still, even when they have been relatively healthy they have not performed well.

we started this year without Prioleau who played a ton last year on passing downs. i think Salave'a and Griffin played together only once this year, and the new acquistions on defense have turned out to be (expensive) downgrades.

i think we'd all also agree the offensive acquistions have been UPgrades, but we can't confirm it because neither them, or our incumbent playmakers are getting enough of the ball.
