A proper running back!

Addai is decent, and Delone Carter looks like he might be ok. Thing is, it's very hard to run the ball when the O Line has been pretty woeful for the past few seasons now! Castonzo and Iljilana will help with the run game!

Outside of our starters, we have very little depth on defense. The linebacking corps has been poor for a number of years - outside of Laurinaitis there really is no one of starting calibre and our secondary is terrible.

Offensively we're short of veteran players with experience. Sims-Walker, while decent, isn't the answer as far as a number 1 receiver is concerned and it's showed so far this year. Bradford seemed to have time to throw on a number of occasions and was taking sacks and getting hit because it was taking him an age to throw - one of the things about watching American football on television is you often can't see the receiver routes developing on plays but I'd take a guess that on a lot of the plays our guys just weren't getting open.

I don't think we're as bad as the performance on Sunday and I think we'll compete with Washington this weekend - whether or not we win is another story though.

I want the Rams to do well for Spags, look's like you need a big play WR like you said. Is T.O healthy?

With Michael Vick whingeing about getting hit late? The Eagles have had more roughing the passer penalties the past two years than any team in the NFL. Wimp.

WOW there's actually a bloke on a Patriots forum I go on that said and I quote "I will say it now and then go for a while Tom Brady is past it, he cannot face pressure, we would, as I suggetsed in 2008, have been better sticking with Matt Cassell"

All because we lost a game

Never laughed so hard in my life and I think the guy is being serious

I'm guessing he's a newbie bandwaggoner or a massive WUM, either that or on crack cocaine

You do get far too giddy when the Bucs win a game. God knows what you were like you won the superbowl.

I just dislike the Falcons and looking at thier message board, they hate us as much too. Freemans celebration really caused a big stir on there

Can I just ask... as the Falcons are now 1-2 does that mean we still are a poor team and can only beat teams with losing records

Beat two decent teams in a year. Never said you were a poor team, said you weren't as good as you make out.
