We lost the San diego game despite picking Brees three times...mostly because the offense was three and out all day.
The dazzling performance stats against the Raiders were omitted.
Against the Rams and Cards, the decision was made to rely heavily on the run because the passing game sucked. Yet, your statistics are offered as a fine performance.
112 yards against the Giants in three quarters...is that good? I guess compared to the first Giants game it was outstanding.

Keep in mind we got to a point where our receivers opposite Moss were Jacobs and Farris
You seem to be punishing Brunell for the defense playing well in the Dallas game? Yeah he was given a short field often, but he did what was asked of him-get the Skins in the end zone. There should be no knock on anyone for that second Dallas game.
The decision to go with the running game against the Rams had more to do with the fact that they just couldn't stop the run than anything else. Plus, as Tony McGee (read his post-game thoughts exclusively on TheWarpath.net) mentioned as you get to the latter part of the season Gibbs' philosophy is to focus on the physical and run, run, run to beat your opponent.
Brunell only took three snaps in the 3rd quarter of the Giants game, so really he only played a half.
The Chargers and Raiders games (especially Raiders) were poor performances all around. Can't justify those.
