some perspective on the season so far

[hail_2_da_skins]

Good summary Matty. I guess my expectations are too high. I expected the Skins to beat the Vikings and Texans. I expected them to be competitive against the Jaguars, Cowboys and Giants.

The Viking lost hurt bad. Too may missed opportunities. Any lost the Cowboys is extremely painly, no matter the situation. Despite the poor play in Dallas, they had an opportunity to comeback in that game and Brunnel faltered down the stretch, thus my calling for Brunnel to be benched. Brunnel redeemed himself against the Texans, but in my view that would have been a good opportunity to give Jason Campbell some experience against a weaker foe before some tougher games ahead. The Skins won a barn burner against Jacksonville. Brunnel still throwing the 5 yard dinks and dunks. His receivers and running backs bailed him with great runs after the catch. He did not escape from my doghouse. He showed his rear-end again against the Giants. The Giants were prepared for the short passes and force him to throw deep and Brunnel can't deliver. I wonder how long Gibbs is going to stay with a quarterback that throw deep? Bench Brunnel while the season is young.
