Give Props to Brunell
 

You have to give props to Mark Brunell. He made some nice deep passes over the middle, distributing the ball nicely between Thrash, Lloyd, Cooley, ARE, Sellers, Betts, and Portis.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

Um, no....

He threw passes that were too close to being picked off.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

Yeah with no Moss I thought he did a pretty good job. With the defense playing better... not great but better, he showed that he can still get it done. Gotta give the OL some props too, they protected him pretty well.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

Props to Brunell.

You couldn't be more incorrect Rat.

Dude seriously, let it go for 1 week. Is that too much to ask?

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

Dude what are you talking about. Brunnel clearly showed he is the problem on offense. Cowboys should have picked him off twice. Plus, his movement in the pocket is terrible.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

The bashers are NOT going to take over this thread. We won, so please shut up for 1 week.

Matty, seriously let it go. These people are just really stubborn.

He also threw some lasers over the middle, something we haven't seen in some time.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

he played much better today and the defense tackled better as well. we still barely beat them though and our OL wasn't looking so hot :(, but it's an improvement.

Stubborn?

You're being nice. Very nice.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

Brunell only had 191 yards, but he should have had close to 250. Cooley dropped a 20+ yard play and Lloyd's 37 yard catch was negated by a bogus holding call on Fauria.

I mean Brunell played a very good game, and yet they are talking trash.

If our D held up, we would have crushed the Boys. Apparently they fail to see the problems with our D. Remember, jedi mindtricks?

I know what you meant, I was saying that stubborn is too nice of a term to describe the bashers.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

those refs shouldn't have those jobs. the first half had about 10 questionable calls/no-calls and they weren't consistent.

I think had our O-line been able to get a push off the line and run-block (e.g. inside the 5 in the 1st quarter), we would have crushed them.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

he did pretty darn good w/o the teams #1 wr, a pretty non existent running game except for one play, and a mixture of dropped passes and bad calls nullifying completions. He did make a bad decision to try and force it into lloyd which luckily wasn't intercepted and could have run for a first down a couple times if he had his mentality of a few years ago, but he looked damn nice with a couple lasers 15+ yards down the field. I was just excited to see the offense making attempts down the field and look at what it resulted in with a few big catches and almost as many big penalties.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

You lot crack me up.

Yeah, Brunell's great...

/sarcasm off

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

Im not bashing Brunell, i think he had a good game today and came up with an extremely good win but in all honesty, brunell doesnt play well for a couple games then comes out with a big one, which seems to be a trend do you think the orginization sees this or does this only further the love joe gibbs has for mark brunell after today?

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

[QUOTE=RedskinRat;239337]You lot crack me up.

He didn't play "great," but he played pretty well. I know talking about Brunell is like talking about religion (it's black and white, right and wrong), but even I have to admit he played well today.

As has been pointed out, we had no running to speak of and were without our #1 playmaker, but the offense looked pretty solid against a good defense.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

Brunell played well today. Let us celebrate w/o any player bashing (except AA).

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

Anyone praising Brunell nedds to watch those passes again (particularly the one to Cooley for the TD, the one that went through Williams' hands, the fetal position on the pass rush, the non-throw to Lloyd when he bumped into Cooley and Cooley fell down leaving Lloyd wide open and behind the D, the one......) and then tell me he looked good/OK.

Yeah, Sheriff, it's a lot like religion. You're either blinded by faith or a rational person.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

Or, RedskinRat, you're blinded by sheer hatred.

I've been bashing Brunell for weeks, but I'm willing to call a spade a spade and give him credit where credit is due. Brunell had 192 yards passing, 1 TD and no INTs. Brunell and the receivers also drew about 80 yards in pass interference calls. [I]So, while Brunell only had 192 yards passing, the passing game produced about 272 yards and should have produced over 300 (the Fauria penalty negated a 37 yard pass to Lloyd)[/I]. I'd call that a good day.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

I will be watching the game again later this week, I hope others do too, then we'll discuss it again and you tell me if Brunell looked poor/average/good.

I'm not hating I'm calling it as I see it.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

brunell could get the ball off if he didn't pat the motherfucker 30 times before he throws it god damn!

Shows what you know. Lloyd bumped into Sellers, not Cooley. You act like no QB in the league ever makes a bad pass or a bad decision. Sure Brunell didn't set the world on fire today but he played a solid game and damnit we won.

Seriously it's like you'd rather the team lose just so you can keep bitching about Brunell. Enjoy the fucking moment

almost every qb has 1 or 2 or 3 passes that could of been picked.

that happens all the time

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

I will accept the criticism. I have called for Brunell's head.

He was a Pro-Bowler today.

And for that idiot Rexi, Brandon Lloyd was f-ing money today. F you and your miserable team.

Ooooooh, I got a player wrong. So fucking what, you know what play I meant.

Brunell isn't good enough for this team to progress, why is that so hard for people to comprehend?

Yes, I'm happy we won. No, I don't think that Brunell WON it for us. There's a subtle difference that I can see, if you're honest I'm sure you can too.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

He managed the game and made a few plays. No INTs and the fumble was not his fault. There is a formula to win with Brunell and we saw it today against a top 5 defense.

We should sit Brunell every Tuesday and Wednesday for the rest of the year (until we have 7 losses). Have Campbell take snaps with the first team on those days. Brunell is better when rested...

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

What a game.

I am calling in sick tomorrow and drinking all night!

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

What is all this talk about interceptions/bad throws? I don't remember a MB interception today. Didn't we just defeat our Arch Rivals?

I did hear Troy Aikman/Joe Buck say that any Redskins pass, where a Cowboys defender was within 10 yards of the pass, was almost an interception. However, consider the source.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

Not a Brunell fan, but he was good today. I give the guy credit. He won't go away and he obviously has a lot of heart. I was just happy he started looking for Lloyd and he went over the middle more times today than all other seven games combined this year. I don't get this guy, but I'm not complaining after that win. We fought hard today. Oh and I was giving Archuletta some decent slack, but today he was pure garbage.

You know I was only joking with you on the Sellers/Cooley comment, don't you?

Long term no Brunell is not the answer. We know that. We all know that. But in the here and now he did just fine. But whatever, you have your fun bashing him. I'm done debating it

Re: Give Props to Brunell

The snap from center wasn't Brunell's fault. :eek:

I don't believe what I'm reading here.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
 

Welp, this is what Brunell did last year when we played well offensivley. He made some good throws, he still did some stupid stuff, some people dropped some balls.

I know people are saying Portis didnt rush the ball well (which was his fault/lines), but did you see how the play action worked when we give Portis the ball? We need to get him better invovled because as we saw when we put him in good postion, hes the best.

I thought Brunell played well, I dont think he was a pro bolwer or the reason we won the game, but he made some big throws, and I can live with that.

Could he have caught it? Yes. But the snap was early and high. So I'll put more of the blame on Rabach on that one...
