Can we just take a break for, oh I don't know, 24 hours, not to jump down his throat? So many here are so busy trying to find fault and blame and reasons to not be happy about this team that they can't just enjoy a great win today. Let's be like teams themselves are after wins, especially big wins, savor the win for a couple of days and get back to work on Tuesday.

What I don't like to see on these message boards is people telling others to "take their bashing elsewhere" and stuff like that. It should be a board where you're free to express whatever opinion you like.

This thread was started with the purpose of giving props to Brunell. I'm of the opinion that he's not deserving of any significant props. He completed 60% of his passes and was very fortunate that two were not intercepted. He did make a couple impressive throws, one down the seam to Thrash, and the TD to Cooley. But his play overall was nothing that tons of other QBs in the league (like Damon Huard, Tony Romo, and Chad Pennington) couldn't do.

It's very possible for people to enjoy the win and at the same time be realistic about isolating Brunell's performance within a great win, and calling a spade a spade. He did just enough for us to win today, with some help from some Cowboy defenders who dropped some INTs.

But if I can comment, it will be a sad day when the Warpath stifles the opinions of others because they choose to examine Brunell in a manner that is not entirely positive in spite of a victory.
