I agree it was something of a freak. Brunell was never known for throwing INT's and Portis fumbles?
However, 3 things worry me.
1) We are dropping too many passes for a JG coached team and Gardner in particular needs singling out. If he doesn't start picking up his game, the coaches will have to bench him.
2) Ramsey was really screwed up by Spurrier. It's sad because what I saw of him early looked good, but I wonder if he is too much damaged goods now? JG will know and if Brunell is not good to go Monday, then he will start Ramsey if he thinks he is redeemable. If Hasselbeck starts, look for Joe to trade Ramsey now or at the end of the season.
3) Where is our deep threat? JG used to set up the PA pass regularly and get great yardage out of it. We need to establish the run more reliably and suck the D in. If opposing D's believe they can stop us running, they will shut down our passing game. We need to keep them honest.
Other than that, you can't critique the D too much, except to say Bowen can't cover receivers. He either needs help or should be covering TE's etc. He can play the run and blitz great, but we need Taylor to step up now and Lott can then come in with him on passing downs.
