Regardless that doesn't give the offense a pass. 16 points isn't exactly setting the world on fire.

We need to improve in every phase of the game right now. The D is the most obvious, but the offense and special teams need a lot of work too.

Touchdown scored on a drive that started at the 21 yard line of the opponent.

We started two drives that deep in opponent territory all of last year (both in the Panthers game). We've already matched that this season. The offense, to date, has been worse than last year. I've been impressed with McNabb and Williams, and Portis' blocking. Disappointed with everyone else.

Can't see how Casey Rabach starts next week. Even cats only have 9 lives.

I just expect less from the offense cause we've only got one legit NFL wr. These guys that they brought in were on the street for a reason. Galloway, Armstrong and Williams would not make 90% of the teams in the league. Thomas and Davis need to be on the field all the time. Not journeymen WR's.

We're clearly less talented on offense than on defense. Either the defense is underachieving, or it isn't as good as I thought it could be every year since 2007. It's never lived up to it's billing.

We might still improve on offense yet, but three games into Zorn 2.0 last season, we were ahead of where we were now. We know how that ended.

If we beat Philly and go 2-0 in the division to start, no one remembers this game. We'll be in first place in the NFC East no matter what Dallas and New York do.
