Mark Brunell game
 

My brother and I are playing a game.

The rules:
1. Anytime Mark Brunell throws the ball away on 3rd down, you take a shot.
2. Anytime Mark Brunell checks down and the Skins don't convert on 3rd down...you take a shot.

Disclaimer:
Many of you would wonder why we wouldn't do it everytime he checks down or throws the ball away. The answer is very simple: we don't want to die of alcohol poisoning.

jdlea: You may as well call into work now.

oh c'mon, alcohol poisoning is all the rage these days ;)

How we doin jdlea? Can you see straight?

Mark Brunell MUST SIT!!!!

IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE!!!

Yeah, I hear that it's very slimming, or the cirrhosis that follows is. It's the new Hollywood diet.

Are you kidding me, he is heroic!!

Seriously, we won in spite of Brunell today. While he didnt do anything to directly help the Lions, he just hinders our whole game plan, we can do anything with him.

Don't tell sean taylor about this game.

I kind of thought if Brunell loss this game we would see Ramsey and I'm glad we won. However, if we win against the Bengals next week, we are facing the Eagles, Steelers and Giants. Now if Ramsey will play it will probably be after these four games because that would be throwing him into a lion's den. Let's hope Portis can keep this up because Brunell playing not to lose right now.

Brunell - 5 for 15. 58 yards? how much worse can you be?

Good point about the schedule probably keeping Ramsey on the bench.

Brunell is an Afterthough in This Offense . . .
 

nothing more and nothing less. The one offensive TD was due to Portis and the other TD was from the "D". Brunell was relegated to handing off the ball and getting the h*** out of the way.

We won this game for 3 reasons, none of which had anything to do with Brunell:

1. Our outstanding "D".

2. We played a team with an offense as inept as ours.

3. We had a lead and didn't have to rely on the non-existent passing game to get us back into it.

But, I no longer blame Brunell for what's happening. No, the blame rests squarely on Gibbs' shoulders. He is just too stubborn to admit that his pursuit and signing of Brunell was a colossal and costly mistake.

I am tired of hearing Gibbs make apologies for the abysmal play of Brunell.

Let's jump ahead a bit. I think Brunell will continue to play unless he's injured. Let's assume he finishes the season and we end up, say, 6-10 which is highly likely. Let's say Ramsey, in total frustration, demands to be traded. Where does that leave us offensively? In nowheresville, that's where.

Thanks, Joe, for an offense that can't seem to score more than 10-15 points a game. Thanks for sticking by a QB that can't get the job done. Thanks for being too stubborn to admit that you (yes it is mostly Gibbs' fault) committed the team to a QB that is no longer effective, to the tune of $43 million.

I don't believe you there is no way you could have written this post if that were true! :drink

I can hear the "We want Ramsey" chants already coming out of next weeks game at FedEx.

You have to still ask yourself the question, what would Ramsey look like with our O line that stills seems to let defensive players slip through the cracks? I'll tell you, a lot of sacks and possibly more turnovers. Brunell hasn't don e anything to help us accept not turn the ball over. It's sad, but it's true.

Sunra,

I have to disagree. Even when he's had good protection and had time to throw, Brunell has been totally ineffective.

It's way, way past time to make a change. But, it seems that Gibbs is digging in his heels and we all will be the worse for his stubborness.

has anyone heard what gibbs said after the game about mark
i live in fl and had to goto work right after the game or was it just the same bs about how he played his guts out

He had nothing to say about Mark. He adressed the passing game as Inconsistant and thats it. He focused on the positives for the most part. I'm pretty sure hes starting to come around.

A total ONE pass by Brunell in the second half pretty much sums up how much confidence Gibbs now has in Brunell...or in the passing game.
To his defense, there were a quite a few drops this week, but it was usually because the throws weren't as accurate as they should have been.

Yeah, it's not all Brunell, but something HAS to be done...and putting Ramsey is worth a shot. If he's no better, then he can just be the one to hand the ball to Portis all day.

can u imagine if we made the right choice in a vet qb and got jeff garcia. I think we may serious contenders

why did we give this guy so much money

Garcia is too turnover prone for Gibbs' taste.

I like him though, he's a gutsy QB and he can move around the pocket.

garcia was the best option this offseason... he probably is too int prone for gibbs, but i think he's good... seriously, ramsey is perfectly capable of throwing 5 for 15 and handing it off 40 times a game... might as well start his training now...
