He seems to be saying that a 2000 yards season is within any backs reach if they get enough carries, that Betts is better than Portis, and that Gibbs is suspect until he wins without a "dominate O-line". All nonsense. Czabanesque nonsense.

But what I am also saying is, if our line is as bad as everyone thinks and I have thought it wasen't as good as everyone had made out in previous years than who's fault is it? Is it not Gibbs fault for not identifing such a glaring need at such a vital area of the team?

I can't help but wonder how many championships Gibbs may have won if it wasen't for that great line he had for 10 years, and we are talking all time great here. The fact is many coaches may have been able to win with that line, then again maybe not, Gibbs did what any good coach would do utilize his talent. But Gibbs had times during his first tenure when we couldn't move the ball like when we made the switch from Joey T to Schroeder, the offense took off once that happened, it always seemed back in the 80's the offense was as good as the QB, that's how it was for JG. Maybe it's still the same way, maybe all our problems stem from the QB and I have a strong feeling for the most part it does, then maybe Gibbs really hasen't lost it, maybe it's more of an ego thing that he can't swallow his pride on Brunell, either way he has to take the fall.

I for one am willing to cut the line some slack even though I have felt that Samuels is highly overated and have thought that for a 3 or 4 years now, Jansen has been a rock for us but is defiently having a down year, Dockery weighs 350 and plays like he's 250, and I felt we could have drafted better than Rabach, but there glaring faults could be under a huge spotlight because of the QB play, and until [as the grim reap put it] we cut off the head I for one will give them a pass [no pun intended].

And here's an example of why, our favorite team in the whole world made a switch tonight against one of the toughest defenses in the league with maybe the toughest D-line, and what happened? An undrafted QB with zero starts came in and managed the game and made some key plays, did he do anything spectacular? No, but he hung in the pocket didn't crumble when players were near him and made throws downfield when need be he was more concerned about making a play than when he was going to be hit, and all we heard is how the Boy's O-line can't protect, and no way will they keep Carolina from killing Romo, well Dallas's line didn't do to bad tonight did they? And all they did was replace the QB, Bledsoe is Brunells twin at QB, the only difference is Bledsoe stands in the pocket and waits to get hit, Brunell can't even do that he throws it immediatly as soon as he see's a different colored jersey on his side of the line of scrimmage, where he throws it is of no concern to him, or apparently Gibbs, so long as it's not an INT. Tonight we saw exactly why Parcells used to own Gibbs, because he identified his problem and fixed it with an undrafted QB, Gibbs still has no clue and gave up plenty for mister ACCURATE, and we think the world of him JC, so to put it bluntly, Dallas is winning with undrafted QB's and we can't get our big time 1st rounder on the field to take an NFL snap! So Gibbs will spend 2 weeks trying to fix Brunell and find out against the Boys that all the kings horses and all the king's men can't put our humpty dumpty back together again. And then we will be treated to all the excuses! Where's Lawerence Taylor when you need him?

Why are they twins? Because they are of similar age? Does that make me Lindsay Lohan's twin?
