The defense, I think the rest of the league has figured us out. They know where we are coming from, and WAHT THE HELL, IF YOU WANT TO SCORE A TOUCHDOWN ON THE REDSKINS, THEN....THROW IT DEEP!!! easy as that.

I think brunell was skipping balls 5 yards short on 10-15 yard routes. the easy way to see who's to blame is to see if another QB can do any better.

He's prone to inaccuracy. So is McNabb, but people love him. It's a relatively harmless flaw in his game that when pressured in the pocket he throws low.

The difference with McNabb and Brunell, actually there's no comparison,
is that McNabb can compensate for his deficiencies. Whereas, when Brunell is off, his mistakes are magnified.

McNabb definately has playmaking potential that Brunell no longer has this late in his career. All I'm saying is that if periodic accuracy issues were really that damning, McNabb would have busted out years ago.

They aren't, and consequently I'm happy with a QB that completes 60% and throws a pick every two games. Both McNabb and Brunell are firery competitors, even though Donovan's carelessness (among other things) probably cost Phili a win Sunday.

Brunell is almost not to blame at all for either of our losses...although I'd really like to see an improvement from him on third down.

Id like to see him throw it to someone other than a RB!!
