You can't expect a Brady to make the same mistakes that you saw lesser QBs make throughout the year to bail us out.

I guess people just look at offensive numbers and ignore the fact that they were barely on the field because our D was consistently getting gashed in the run game.

I'll put it this way...I have more faith in the offense making a crucial play than in the D getting a critical stop. The pass rush is nonexistent most of the time. I'm tired of people giving the defense a free pass. It was very solid the last 2 years but not this year. Only opportunistic.

Let's hope we don't lose Dorsey and he shores up the lines and linebacking corps, and Bailey and/or Howard return and make an impact.

Yet our offense could only come up with 16 points. Our offense has been lacking all year and supported by special teams play and pick 6's on defense.
