Yeah we are missing a lot of good defensive players but we still have the d-line, both starting corners, and an effective linebacker crew. There is no question that Farve will hit the big pass on Sunday. I think he will do it a couple of times. What the d needs to do is make sure that for ever big play they give up, they make a big play themselves. Farve does throw interceptions... now the o needs to capitalize. I think that Gibbs usually wins or ties the time of possesion war every game. That will always help to protect our defense from getting to tierd. Running the ball a lot will shorten the game, which also helps.
If Gibbs can come up with a couple of 15 yard routes that work, and keep Portis in open space, and get the o-line to provide 1 more second of pass protection, we are going to see this offense come alive. I really believe we are that close to being a great offense. Without these things.... we stink! I'm being patient and believing in one of the greatest football coaches I have ever seen coach the game.
