Where are the apologies?

if not for Santana's until then completely overlooked and untapped talent, we would be right back in 2004. thank god the team didn't get discouraged.

Ramsey had been throwing to Santana and Cooley all off-season, and yes at the risk of more INTs, we would have seen more than ZERO points halfway into the fourth quarter.

Way to nail ill!!!!!!!!!!!

This garbage that all of sudden Brunell is a big time QB again is just that garbage, in almost 2 games he's had exactly 4 minutes of good QB play, in fact you can probably encorperate last season and find that after last years
Dallas game he's had exactly 4 minutes of good QB play period.


Why did he have to bail himself out with 2 hail mary passes? I will tell you why he stunk for 56 minutes of the game, and if it weren't for Dallas's absolute disbelief in Brunells ability to throw a deep ball we would have been shut out, Brunell was exactly 4 minutes from being shut out and another press confrence of Gibbs telling us how he fought his gut's out too a tune of zero points, I to refrained from the reality of the situation to allow the enjoyment of a victory, but, IF YOU INSIST.

I seriously doubt we are being shut out if Ramsey is starting, I also don't like the super bowl celebration after words IT WAS THE SECOND GAME OF THE YEAR, against a team we are more talented than, have we sunk so low that we now have Gibbs saying that this game was the biggest of his life? PALEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!

How do you know?

How do you know he wouldn't? if you say practice or preseason tell me if Brunell played like he did in preseason last night. *regular season* will always be the real indicator.

You know, as bad as the offense played through most of the game, the fact is, our team kept fighting and won. Sure, Brunell isn't Joe Montana, neither is Patrick Ramsey. But, it's games like this that can turn a team and a season around. No matter how much people will continue to complain, the fact is, we're 2-0 right now, and we accomplished something we haven't been able to accomplish in a long time - we beat the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas in front of a nationally televised audience. If anybody thinks that means zero to this team and the team's confidence, you're sadly delusional.

OK, you may still not like the way he handled the situation, but he got it right.

Maybe it's my browser that can't find the threads here that would try to explain that Patrick Ramsey would not have made that 25 yard scramble in the 4th quarter because had he started then, he'd still be running to make it to the full 25 yards.

So, let me say it explicitly:

Joe Gibbs made a QB decision and it was the CORRECT one.

Joe Gibbs is not infallible but he appears to know just a tad more about QBs than the "Patrick Ramsey Fan Cub" officers.

Thank you for yet another gracious post. Did I ever claim to know more than Gibbs about football or QBs in general? No. Will I give him a blank check to do whatever he thinks is right and praise the moves regardless of what I think? No.

Last night, after 56 minutes of dreadful play, I said that I would give both Brunell and Gibbs some credit. I still do not agree with the switch, but I am willing to admit that it is possible that I could be wrong. I also am willing to give them a pass because I wanted to beat the Cowboys more than anything. And, in the end, we won the game. It wasn't a pretty win. Our offense looked dreadful for most of the game, but we won and that is all that matters.

I really am not looking for an apology. I'm looking for a couple of daredevils to just jump off the Ramsey bandwagon and hop on the winning train because the next stop is Landover, MD and Seahawks are standing in the way. I don't care who does them in, as long as we win.

thank you... this is the most reasonable post in the thread

seriously this thread started as a troll and turned into a pissing match with the same questioning of loyalties and all the other pointless bickering we saw all last week...

we WON. You're allowed to disagree with gibbs decision and still be a fan... really, its true.

oh back there, thanks i see it now. a whole lot of unneccessary stuff continued after that, it should've ended right about there.

[STPainmaker]

I don't want anyone apologizing for anything unless they offend someone. People should be aloud to say whatever they want and be disagreed with. If I tell someone I think they are wrong it shouldn't matter.

post #14... sorry for posting late

[Joe Knows...]

We won the game. We Beat the Cowboys in Dallas for the first time in 10 years and on the night they inducted they're big 3 into their hall of fame. Can we all just remember that and enjoy it?

I'm tired of all the negativity.

AGREED. the Skins get a well deserved bye after a truly historic win *in spite* of their limitations. let's at least get a week of peace savoring in that before we start poking at what those (quite obvious) limitations are. we have next week for that.
