same here. and unfortunately, that means risking INTs, or near INTs. Brunell is so INT averse, he hasn't thrown over the middle regularly in a game all year. with our defense no longer shutting heads down, i'm glad he finally took those risks. it's what it took to win a game.

Exactly.

We wanted him to take chances and go down the field more, well guess what? When you do that your chances of throwing a pick is going to increase. That's why it's called taking a chance.

Brunell took some chances yesterday, more than we've seen him take in recent memory, and now people want to blast him for doing exactly what we've wanted. That's being a hypocrite. And that's showing your true colors if you are a Brunell hater.

I'm actually quite happy with the chances Brunell took yesterday. My only beef with it is if he could do it yesterday, he could have down it all season, instead of waiting until the season is all but over to turn it on...

One thing we don't really know the answer to though is whose decision was that? Has it been Brunell? Did Gibbs and Saunders sit down during the bye week and say here's what we need to do? Did Moss' absence force a change in the game plan?

yeah that's pretty much my beef too. 'better late than never' may not apply for our season.
