I'm not gonna flame you, just say that you and all of the Bush haters have your mind so made up on him, that you wont pour out any other criticism where it needs to be. I dont think we should bench Bush nor ever think about it. I guess he is our new punching bag since Jason David got cut.

No one mentions PT's fumble because
a) that was PT's first fumble this season
b) PT's performance in both the Buffalo and Jets games.
c) PT is an undrafted free agent who won the staring RB job.
d) people give much more credit to a RB who pounds the ball and needs 2-3 guys to bring him down vs a RB who fumbles when a stiff wind blows near him.

I have given Reggie much slack because what he meant for the team and the city when he was drafted, and because,time to time, you get to see a flash of brilliance that leaves you in awe. But now he has reached Devery-status with me.

PT, on the other hand, has reached "poor man's Emmitt Smith" status with me.

I'm not going to root for Reggie to screw up, but I surely want to see PT and Bell carry the ball, and Lance just call for fair catches on punts...
