The only thing I believe we can hang our hats on this up coming season is our defense, I wouldn't be surprised to see a repeat of the 2005 season when the defense carried this team to the playoffs and hid a lot of our lack offensive ability. Yes we are more talented on offense this year but will it really make a big difference? Gibbs has put all his eggs in 1 basket in Campbell, if he's not the goods we are a last place team.

I think whether we have legitimate issues on the offensive line really remains to be seen. Unless Chris Samuels has completely fallen apart and Pete Kendall is a bust, then I would agree. But that scenerio doesn't exist. Concern, yes. Issues, no. We'll be fine on the offensive line.
Certainly Gibbs is putting all of his eggs in one basket with Campbell, but what coach isn't with their first string quarterback? Same could be said of Indy, the Pats, Bengals, ummm Dallas....and the list goes on and on. Hell, Cleveland is flipping coins from one week to the next to figure out who their quarterback is! Talk about finishing last, now that's a classic example.
If we live or die with Jason Campbell, I'm fine with that. As long as we do more living than dying.
