It's time to panic mid way through NEXT SEASON if things are still not working. I'm serious. This is what an 8-8/7-9, readjusting to the coaches, players, NFL-type season looks like. And, as was pointed out, the losses were by 6, 3, and 4 points. It sucks. I hate it. But that's how it is right now.

As for Brunnel, he plays until Ramsey is ready. And Gibbs decides when that is. The offense isn't clicking, but Brunnel didn't put the ball on the ground; Portis and Coles did. Remember, Ramsey threw three absolutely lame INTs in the 1-1/2 QUARTERS he was out there last time. I say give Brunnell gets until the bye week to turn it around.

The o-line is a work in progress. Did they give up any sacks this week (I don't remember, maybe there was 1?). Against Dallas, there were 5. So that's better. Look, it's not just empty talk that it takes time to get an o-line working together. ANd it takes time for an RB and a line to get going. Since the o-line is the heart of a Gibbs team, until they work it out, it's not going to be pretty. We should still have won these games. But let's not break up the team!

The time management stuff is all about learning the formations and calling the plays efficiently. Again, just the sort of stuff that takes time to learn to do right. Yeah, it kills me to see it. But it'll come. Complex offense+new personel+Gibb's getting used to play calling again= bad time outs. oy.
