Not sure what you mean, but the execution of plays was pretty poor against the Bucs. Fair or not it all starts with the quarterback. Especially since he has been producing at a somewhat consistent level. As a fan, I expect progress each game or at least production at a level that wins games. We didn't get that yesterday. Do you feel differently? That was most definitely a team-wide loss though.

Actually, I completely disagree. The offensive problems yesterday started with the running back. We got absolutely no production yesterday from the running back. We tried to set up the running game early, and it pretty much got us nowhere. Tampa totally took away the run. You beat a great defense with a 1 dimensional offense. That's where our problems started, and it went down from there. Am I letting Quincy off the hook? No, I thought this was probably his worst performance of the year, and he kind of looked like the Quincy of last year on a few throws. But I don't think the offensive woes started with Quincy. They started with our poor running game.

Couldn't agree with you more on this one, I think most knowledgable fans know that our running game, or lack thereof is what really hurt us yesterday. And Parcells did not shy away from it, he kept going to it and it got us no where You would think after they stop us a few times on 3rd and short, that he would change up and let Quincy throw it a little more. So what he had 2 INTs, it was obvious the running game was going absolutely no where, so put it on your QB and try and let him make plays down the field. He's made plays all season long, hell give him a chance to do so once again. And then there is no blame to be put on anyone but Quincy Carters shoulders. Quincy has thrown INTs before, but has also bounced back with good games. Take the NYG game this season, I think his first throw was a INT and it was returned for a TD. What happened after that, he went on to throw for like 300+ yards or something like that. You got to give your QB a chance to make plays, it is that simple.
