I agree, the offensive line has a lot to do with the fumbling issue. Sometimes Campbell almost seems too calm in the pocket, maybe its just me but he doesnt seem to have that sense of urgency when it really counts. He has also been making very poor decisions late in games for us, sometimes multiple times in one game.

With the way Gibbs likes to play games i dont see us winning a lot of close ones unless Campbell learns how to finish. On another note you said "there's only one way to go and thats up" dude, ive been saying that for years though, when the hell is it going to go up for us.

Good point, I was specifically alluding to the oline play this year though. I can't get much worse than it has been.

These debates about JC are getting a little old. The guy is essentially a rookie, playing in his first full season. Most if not all Rookie QB's make the same basic mistakes we see from Campbell. You will see those highlight plays and games that make him look like a probowler, but you will also see those games where he struggles. That is with all QB's in the NFL, even vets. Lets not keep throwing Jason under the bus with these things. He has struggled some this year, but has made plays to win games. Would we even be talking about this if we hadn't blown 5 4th quarter leads and be sitting 10-2 or 9-3? I dont think so.

No we wouldnt be talking about it at all. The only problem is in most of those loses he did get us into position to win but he also found a way to turn the ball over.
