This is a low point in the season. The D that has been criticised all year finally had a solid game for the most part. I know they gave up a ton of rushing yards to a 3rd string back, but they held the Bengals to 7 points for 3 QTRs and then just got tired cause the Offense had nothing working at all. Its not easy to tackle a 270 lbs RB when you have to play 25 minn in a half...I know some people might not agree, but the O cost us this game today. Our D got us 4 turnovers we did jack with it. With less than 5 minn of possession in the second half I can't blame the D.

Brooks proved today what I have thought all year long. He cannot do anything when he has to carry a team. He struggled greatly when the running game wasnt working. He was not under pressure all day he just made bad throws and decisions. Like I usually say we are lucky they dont intercept all the bad passes he throws. That might be the only good thing about him always throwing bullets DBs and LBs cant catch that as easy.

Im not gonna say Brooks lost this game because we had no running game either.

However, I heard Brooks was upset that he didnt make the ProBowl eventhough he was 1st in TD passes. That is cause he has so much talent around him he SHOULD lead the league in TD passes. He showed the NFL why he didnt make the ProBowl today. If he had something to prove he proved it. He didnt deserve to be an alternate over McNabb. Brooks has benefitted from great WRs. Take away the 7 yard slant with the 50 yard run by Stallworth and what did Brooks do today? 150 yards and no TDs. against the Bengals. Way to prove your point...

I have said it more than once the last few weeks this team is not built for a QB with a great arm. It is built for a SMART QB with great accuracy. We need someone to get it to the play making WRs. Brooks can do that sometymes... othertymes he just looks lost. He proved that today. He is not making any progress and is looking like he is regressing. He has happy feet, back pedals and throws off his back foot, throws into coverage, telegraphs passes, drops back 10 or more yards, doesnt scramble for quik easy yards... it is frustrating watching a team stick with a QB that has not proven himself once this year that he is the franchise QB we inked to a long term deal in the offseason. I was very upset when we signed him for the long term cause I didnt think he had proven himself last year. Now I dont feel bad about doubting him. He hasnt lived up to the expectations or contrat that we signed him to. I hope we are smart enough to give Jake a chance cause Brooks looks to be slipping and I dont want to go into next year without a solid back up.

Brooks comp % dropping every year since he became our QB... we bring in more targets he gets less accurate that make sense to anyone? Jake comes in and goes what 8 of 10; 8 of 9 if you toss out a hail mary. HMMM... Im not saying Jake is the future but why can Jake be so accurate and Brooks not??? makes you wonder...
