He did make a big play to Thrash and had all he could do to reach him, his deep ball stay's in the air a long time, you have to be pretty wide open for the defender not to be able to close in on it as Thrash was.

He defiently was off target today, but I think Philli's coverage had as much to do with that as his injury. The problem that we have is Tampa saw exactly what the Eagles did and will attempt to do the same thing to us next week.

This is Brunell's season to win or lose, I still stand firm on my stance that we would be a better team with Ramsey at the controls, but I would be worried at this point in the season to have Ramsey playing in a big playoff game without the luxory of playing in an offense for a legitamate amount of playing time. But unless Brunell can't walk Gibbs isn't going to replace him no matter how bad he plays, it was pretty obvious that Brunell wasen't ready to play, if that wasen't the case we will have a problem come saturday, hopefully he heals up by then, we can't rely on TO's by the opposition to bail us out.

Yea well said, Brunell did not play well, but that is no need to hate. He still got us this far, but Tampa will be a problem, we need to change up the game plan and get Brown and Trash involved as recievers.
