I think that our defense is a good defense, that's played great at times. The're not the steel curtain, L.T.'s giants, or the 85 bears. My point is that while I agree that defenses do win championships those teams still needed production from their offenses and when we start getting some consistency on offense, I think we'll be fine. It has been pretty pathetic on offense at times (well most of the time) and i'll take the Gibb's route and say that the're not executing very well as a whole (understatement) I think the Brunell & Ramsey debate is overplayed. If we had a good offensive line there would be no debate, Portis would be racking up the yards and opposing defenses wouldn't be able to exploit Brunnels weaknesses. Anybody can see he just does't have IT anymore. IMO there is no comparison, 5yrs ago i'd probably take Brunnel over Ramsey, not now. I just think with the way the O-line is playing neither QB would be very successful. I imagine that's the reason why Gibbs won't give Brunnel the hook. If Ramsey is the future i would rather have him in there with a O-line that's playing well, remember last year.

Do you think we'll score more than the Yankees did yesterday? (murderers row04)
