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.

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.
