9/24/06: Redskins (0-2) at Texans (0-2)

Of course the win means a more, but the record means something too. I believe this kind of record is always set against a bad defense. What does this record mean?
1) If you give Brunell the short stuff, he'll get the job done, and very well. Take it to the bank. So, for people who were saying that Brunell was worthless, they have to sing a new tune. (At least if there is a head on their shoulders.) We must note that Texas plays 16 games a year, as do many other bad defenses. That means that 16 QBs a year have failed to do to Texas what MB did to Texas.
2) It means that a certain part of the game plan is really "in sync". (For any game, there are usually a number of plays where the receiver was open and the QB just made a bad throw.)
3) It means the receivers are not dropping the ball. (Nice catch, David Patton.)
4) It means the playcalling was good, a nice turnaround.

It may also mean that, if the other team doesn't stack the box, they will lose. Then we'll get to see if Mark still has the long ball (if he's given time to throw it.)

As far as interceptions, he's only had 1 all season, so I don't see your stat line happening against the Jags.

Before today's game, not many people (my belief), knew who held the record, or what the completions record was. It is not, and will never be that important. It definately won't be if he goes 17 for 31 with 3 ints against the Jags. Let us toast to the Skins and prepare for next week. I am only looking for quality performances against quality teams. This is a win we needed, and we got it. (clever line about Pharoh's Mom)
