It baffles me that people think that something all the sudden happened and Drew became different and made worse decisions...just because it happened and there was no reason. When you see a pick in the game stats, you don't see the D-Lineman grabbing hold to his jersey...or in his face making him not being able to step completely into his throw.

I contend that the protection breakdown...or the poor O-line play in general...lead to not only the decrease in Drew's protection but the RB's production as well.

I know that we lost at least one all-pro lineman...FOR WHATEVER REASON..and it seemed obvious to me that Drew was no different than he ever was but the way the offense went about it's business definitely was.
