Last night was the first night that I really watched Bowe and thought he might actually be shot. It wasn't effort - he simply has no speed at all left. He has no quickness and he's never been a particularly adept route-runner. We threw him the damn ball 14 times yesterday and they were simply easy coverage plays because he's incapable of keeping distance.
Had you asked me this question on Friday I'd have gone with the O-Line. But after watching Bowe be completely ineffective and watching Avery botch perhaps the biggest play of the night, we need those weapons at WR/TE.

I agree that Bowe looks extremely slow at points, but in his defense Rodgers-Cromartie is VERY fast and, despite the overall suck of the Broncos pass defense, has played pretty well this season.
