Expectations for the rest of the season...

Add Hijinx to that list.

Seriously, while no one would likely say that RGIII is the clear answer (not until we see him healthy and sustained good play), I think it is likewise silly to say that he's the root of the problem here. Our D has been horrid the last two seasons (longer, really), as have our special teams. One player isn't going to carry the team -- not with as many holes as we have had.

To be clear, I am not diminishing the importance of the QB position, far from it. But RGIII is already better than anyone we've had at that position in recent memory, whether he's lived up to expectations, realistic or unrealistic as they may be. We need to see what he can do, and the rest of the season will be an important test. If he plays well and stays healthy, regardless of wins and losses (because, let's face it, we're not going 7-0 to finish the season), we can (hopefully) move on from the angst-ridden discussion about the QB and focus our energies on building an O-line, adding at least 1 safety and 1 CB, and otherwise getting some more depth on the team.

During the time Haslett has been our defensive coordinator, we're the only team in the league with a losing record when we score 26 points or more.

Rumor has it that Brittany....what's her name is reporting that Bruce and Dan actually alternated defensive play calling
