Shawn Springs to have surgery

Gibbs and co. are great, but they can't get on the field and cover Terrell Owens!

I know its good to stay positive guys, but Gibbs HAS had seasons where he didn't win the Superbowl. yes, even with Gregg Williams, it's true..

That's true, but I don't think there are any seasons when Gibbs threw in the towel before the season even started

not throw in the towel, just keep a big eye on the waiver wire and see about some last minute trades...not involving 49ers..

I just rewatched the Bengals scrimmage again. Aside from the INT by Brunell, running totally vanilla schemes our first team offense looked GREAT. If we can get Portis and Springs back by the Cowboys game, we are going to be FINE.

I thought the same thing after rewatching the first two series. They were using a plain jane offensive scheme and ran only three running plays yet were moving the ball relatively well. I don't think anyone needs to go into panic mode just yet.

Yeah. Didn't the starting defense play three series? And didn't two of those series end in 3-and-outs resulting in punts on 4th and 26 and 4th and 17 or something like that?

The starting D looked downright NASTY to me. Daniels, Salave'a and Griffin all got really good penetration.

Why didn't we get Andre Dyson or Ty Law?

Passing game looked pretty good too. Portis will come back fine. I'm slightly more worried about Springs, but as long as he's back for the Cowboys game, I'm good.
