Is he in the witness protection program? Is he too short for JC to spot? What's going on? Randle El seems to be the go to WR, but we have GOT to involve Moss more in the passing game.
After protecting the ball well all season, we had to have a game where things went badly. It's too bad that this kind of implosion didn't happen during a week in which the Rams were playing inspired football -- it would have been nice to have turnovers and yet still win, which we could easily have done if any number of things had happened differently (better pressure on Bulger, miss of a 49 yard FG, Avery doesn't make a Tyree-esque catch, etc.).

Yes, Springs was on TO most of the time, but Rogers was on him when Springs was out and Rogers did just fine.
Moss has been blanketed with double teams. The comment above about ARE is spot on. Also, this is why we need Devin Thomas to step up (and Kelly perhaps to actually be on the field as a start). If ARE and Thomas start running wild, Moss will have more opportunities.
