As we all knew, this OL was mediocre at best. Their deficiencies are masked by a mobile QB but as soon as we need them to pull their weight (ha), the offense stalls completely.

To me Bob looks like a 2nd year QB, coming off a huge injury, who missed an entire off-season of fundamentals, film and practice.

I see flashes of his greatness from last year (he's still missing throws he hit easily last year), and have faith it will return.

When is the last time we had decent special teams?

The secondary is still a complete rollercoaster ride on a good day. DHall is our best player by far.

That's weird & probably a bad sign.

Then after that is Denver.

1-6.
