What A Big Swing

If Eli made something out of nothing on the bombs, I wonder what Brunell started with on the game-winning play against the Jaguars. I'm starting to wonder if we shouldn't call this the amnesia board.

Eli made several of those plays yesterday. Brunell made none. I was comparing the QBs in the games played yesterday. The Jags game, as we all know, is long in the past now.

Eli made those long throws when the DBs were on vacation, not when they were covering.
Brunell had trouble because his receivers weren't getting beyond the defense on the bombs. (e.g. Santana's pass interference call.) (And to those who say his arm is weak, please note that he OVERTHREW his receivers.)

If you want to base stats on just one game, then Peyton Manning isn't any good either. He didn't do much against the Jags, and put up NO points in the first half of the Titans game. So he's no good either (based on 1.5 games as opposed to your 1.) That's why I continue to consider this post to belong to the Amnesia Board. (Only remember the last game.)
