But you SERIOUSLY think that the length of the season just hit him like a ton of bricks after the second Giants game?

Nope. I never said that.
From the Seattle game through the SF blowout, Brunell & Co. put up some really gaudy stats. The offense looked like it couldn't be stopped.
The problem was that most of the production could be accounted for by the Brunell to Santana connection and Brunell's rolling left and throwing into the short zone. Beginning with the first Giants game, defenses adjusted and reduced the effectiveness of both options.
Brunell's age and the injuries were minor factors in the slump in my opinion.
