In all fairness to Brunell, that INT that was called back (due to defensive interference) was not all on him. It appeared that the INT was made possible by the pass interference. Moss had his jersey pulled down over his shoulder pads - resulting in Moss not being where Brunell likely expected him to be. Brunell didn't make many mistakes, but he didn't look too much different from Brunell of 2004; he threw a lot of short hitches and just a few deep balls. Ramsey looked like he has throughout his career - he throws a pick and then looks pretty good.

I hope Gibbs decides to keep Ramsey in because he gives our offense a spark (and a few INTs). Brunell doesn't make as many poor throws as Ramsey, but he doesn't throw as many good balls as Ramsey either.

Portis looks like a stud (even if you take away that awesome 41-yarder).

The defense looks damn good, but where was the pass-rush the first three quarters?

The offensive line looks very solid and it will only improve with time (as Jansen's hand heals and the unit gels).

The game-planning looked light years ahead of where it did in week one of 2004 (although not as good as it did in week 17 of 2004).
