The injuries have hurt us a bit. Most of our injuries have affected our defense, which, thankfully, is still very good.

The penalties cost us a game (Dallas), but they're not a main reason for our woes.

The players (i.e. Brunell) have hurt us quite a bit. BUT, for me, it's difficult to separate the players from the coaches. Ultimately, the coaches share a lot of the blame for the players' mistakes.

What made Gibbs so fanatastic is that he was a people person and was able to maximize the team's talent. He hasn't been able to do that yet. Our talent should put us around a 6-4 record, but our record is 3-7.

So, the coaching staff deserves some of the blame for poor play.
