The thing is -- I have trouble blaming a new offense finding its footing. I also have a hard time thinking that Williams, who has run an incrediable defense since he's gotten here (and in other places) suddenly forgot to coach. I'd love to find out whats going on. I think the "too many egos" conspiracy may hold some water.

I'm with you Daseal about the offense, though I sometimes wonder just how good the front five really are. I mean, Samuels, Jansen, Dockery, Rabach and Thomas aren't in the Top Five are they? Top Ten? Ultimately, they're all B+ players who just aren't consistent.
With defense, I maintain that what we're all seeing now was bound to happen. Especially with the D-line. The FO treats it as an afterthought -- grabbing has-beens, rejects, and one or two high priced free agents every 2 or 3 seasons like they're birthday shopping at the last minute for a relative they don't really care about.
Renaldo Wynn? Philip Daniels? Brandon Noble? Joe Salave'a was out of football for two seasons for crying out loud! Honestly, what did anybody think was going to happen to the defense when you sign guys like these and hope they can hold the line year after year? They hit the lottery with Griffin, and said, "Great! The D-line's taken care of, now show me the list of wideouts..."
This whole thing was a ticking timebomb -- and the clock is officially reading 00:00.
