| I tend to agree with you Wally, to a point. Seemingly (stress on the word), it's like Ben is off and almost overnight. But then again, so is the entire team.
I could be way off base, as I don't have the opportunity to watch every game -- but from the highlights, I don't think it's just the aging process. Sometimes it's like he is throwing to ghostly apparitions on the field. Again, I only see what I see from the highlights (or as I now refer to them, lowlights) which isn't much to go on.

Yeah, it's not as simple as just blaming it on age. Ben and his receivers are off. Think back to the Steelers-Ravens game when Ben missed a wide-open Heath deep. Heath zigged when Ben thought he was going to zag. It was one of those misses that just stood out, and we're seeing a lot of that. We saw it several times today, including Ben overthrowing an uncovered Wheaton in the end zone. Something is definitely off. My comment about Ben's age had to do with shedding off tackles and the physical limitations that come with age. _________________  If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart.

| BR7 looks like a shadow of himself right now. He was just off yesterday and couldn't get it going.
It certainly doesn't help when we elect to take the ball to try and get off to a fast start and then go 3 and out.

| Interview from Wednesday.
The sheepish grin tells me that he knows Wheaton is a work in progress and that the media is making a big habub about the team.
