Great job again, Sammy. That pitch left to portis was depressing. Remember in 06 (the T. Vincent blocked fg game) Portis ran a similar play v. dallas & took it to the house 38 yrds? That seems so long ago.

I'm depressed w/JC's performance & I think your analysis has in part helped me see that he's likely gone & he's not as good as I'd hoped. I still feel that this offense, Zorn's influence and the overall state of the team are major factors. If he goes somewhere else he can be a decent qb in a stable system. Bottom line though, when his team has been down & in need of leadership & playmaking he hasn't been able to deliver.

As I was watching this game, my overall opinion of the offense came down to:
1) Portis again missed some lanes, but the run blocking isn't good
2) JC & TC had time to throw; is it the wr's not getting open or them not seeing them? I know you point out above where JC missed open guys by locking in too much, but TC also had several plays where he turned in 3 directions & still held the ball. Is it a timing issue w/the routes & dropbacks? Could it be that JC doesn't know all the routes that well so he locks in to the only ones he's familiar with?
