I'm not ready to jump all over Fitz yet, but honeymoons don't last forever. 
The quarterback-superior play has become tiresome.  It's time to go deeper. 
It hasn't helped that the only QB with any experience began the season on 
crutches.  Kafka showed some flashes of ability during his stint, but 
clearly Brewer should never take another snap from center.  Make a wide 
receiver out of him.  Bacher must start next week.  I am VERY concerned with 
the play of the offensive line.  I theorized last season that Basanez may 
have made the offensive line look better than it was, but with five 
returning starters (counting Trevor Rees) we should be getting much better 
play from them this season.  The number of missed blocks yesterday was 
painful to behold.  I actually pitied Desmond Taylor yesterday - while I was 
swearing at him - but he wasn't alone, just the worst of the bunch.
