Don't get me wrong, I saw significant improvement in the call playing on D, and the offensive line, however a HUGE issue for us was that Brunell could not see downfield and was afraid to open the offense. What do you guys think?

I disagree. This is exactly what we should've been doing all along. BALL CONTROLLED OFFENSE. Brunell didn't have to go down field, and I'd rather see him throw those little passes and keep the offense going, rather than to bomb it down field. Sure, it's exciting to see the QB go deep, and there was a play where he threw to his check down guy too quickly, but you can't knock the coaches for letting Brunell run the offense with high percentage pass plays.
