[QUOTE=Mattyk72]You're really taking things too far Ill and frankly I don't appreciate someone insinuating that certain conversations aren't welcomed and there are unwritten rules here. That really flies in the face of what this site is all about.[/QUOTE]

listen, i thought so too. but as an active poster, this is what it's felt like recently. just look back on this thread, even the mere mention of the R word as response to someone else started this furor, so what was taken out of context? of course mods and admins can have opinions, but there's been direct dismissal of others from you guys that's hardly welcoming, and as site authorities, it's just encouraged people taking even more aggressive positions.

[QUOTE=FRPLG]You got dumped on because you brought unwarranted negativity based completly on conjecture into a discussion about a different guy who had a good game. [/QUOTE]

check again, its not unwarranted when [i]other[/i] people bring up the QB switch and you react to it. i had already moved on before this all happened.

Re: Brunell
 

There's plenty of other sites out there you know. I suggest checking some of them out and then comparing it to what you have here.

Re: Brunell
 

I thought I was familiar with this site, was a member since long before the big server quake in '03 and you switched to vbulletin. that's why im surprised.

Re: Brunell
 

Surprised at what? That someone has a differing opinion??

Once again, nobody told you that you're not allowed to discuss something. There are no rules regarding discussion topics. Never has been, never will be.

We can talk about Ramsey until we're blue in the face if that's what makes people happy. I don't care. Will I say I'm tired of hearing about it, yeah probably, but that's just my opinion, it's not me hinting that discussion of that nature is not allowed. If you think differently, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. But if you've been here for any length of time I'd think you would know what we're all about here. Again, if you disagree, oh well. There's always other sites like hailredskins or thehogs.net. Two sites that I highly recommend.

12TH MAN, that was the best post i have seen all season. you are 100% correct. We have played all thee games, and have been tested in different situations. And are growing as team. I dont care who's fault the int was, the fact is our conversion rate was good, by the first half we owned the hawks. And frankly I think the offense finally bailed us out of a game instead of the defense doing so. God knows the deffense deserved it. Brunell has proved that he is not over the hill yet. He may not be 100% of what he was, but with talent spread out like we have do we need a manning as a QB? I dont think so just someone to lead the team and avoid making costly mistakes throughout the season. As for the Denver game being a real test. IMO I disagree, no one is making any fuss over Denver right now, and even though we are getting bad press we are still getting press becuase everyone said after dallas and Chicago that maybe gibbs shouldnt have come out of retirement, now they have to keep digging in till they find a miracle that has happened to explain why they were wrong about him. Denver will be a tough game cause we are still growing but I think Portis needs a big game so Moss doesnt keep stealing the highlight reels, and Denver might be the place for him to do it.

Good Post! One of the things I hadn't thought about (I'm still enjoying the win) is Portis former association with Denver. That should be a powerful motivator for him to kick some ass. The defense has to be stoked about the offense looking like an offense. They also played less yesterday with Gibbs ball control game plan. You know those big ol' dudes love that

Re: Brunell
 

We're 3-0 with Brunell, and thats all that should matter.

We're 3-0 with the playcalling and thats all that should matter.

We're 3-0 after beating Chicago, Dallas, and Seattle, and thats all that should matter.

WE ARE 3-0!!!!! It has been 14 YEARS since we were 3-0!!! Lets enjoy this while it lasts....

Re: Brunell
 

May I add, three and 0 - all against NFC teams.

We're building a good case for a P/O appearance down the road when all those formulas get sticky.

Re: Brunell
 

The redskins definitely have a schedule that will allow them to continue to roll against weak teams. This team could easily be 6-1.

Re: Brunell
 

I'll take 4-0 for now!!

Re: Brunell
 

Amen!! Brunell is playing solid and 3-0. He has been clutch and compared to the majority of other QB's this year statistically. We find ourselves picking Brunell apart for solid play and analyzing every mistake, from lack of audibles a tipped int, his weak arm. I do not know what would happen if Ramsey was playing, but Brunell in my eyes has earned the right to be our starting QB and has us off to the best start since 1991. I agree everyones opinion is exactly that, but he has not lost us any games and every QB throws INT's, makes bad decisions whether your Manning who has had a very slow start the 1st 3 weeks and came out this week, Culpeper who is bombing this year after last year. Brunell no matter his age and I think very difficult for some people to see past is getting the job done with a weaker arm than Ramsey, and older legs that has won us two games. It does make interesting reading, but Brunell does not deserved to be bashed because of last year bad play, Ramsey QB switch (not his fault), or his solid play this year and what people percieve as a underthrown ball that goes for 20 yards and speculate that if it wasn't he would have took it to the house or he threw a bad ball and tipped off Portis for a INT those things happen. Bad teams fans pick these things apart and speculate but we are winning, do not understand we finally have good things to talk about and getting better weekly.

Are you saying he hasen't been motivated up till now?

I don't care how motivated he is, it's irrelevent if we don't force defenders from stacking the box.

I am curious you don't believe the entire denver team will more motivated to stop Portis being he left them because he felt he was the reason they were so good at running the ball?

You don't think Bailey will be motivated to shut down our passing game, although I don't know how motivated you have to be to do that?

Remember the air is awfully thin at mile high!

Re: Brunell
 

Is Bailey healthy enough to play? I know he didn't play last week.
