I just don't understand Gibbs on this one at all.. Why is he protecting brunell so much??
Brunell had time and at times open recievers, YET he was unable to connect!!!
C'mon we were playing the BEARS who are not that solid on passing defense.. If I am correct they are 28th or 29th and yet look at the production we got. THIS IS REDICULOUS!!! How can you still believe that Brunell is your man, he was brought in as a vertran who would play smart, protect the ball and absorb the offense quickly.. he has'nt done any of that.
We hav'nt made the deep threat real, 'cause Brunell is not accurate, while the jury is still out on his arm.. Our offense especially the passing game is really bad.. some of the throws brunell makes are just god awful. I'm sorry I can' take any more of his running along the sideline and throwing the ball away.. This QB throws the ball away more than he does to his recievers!!
Gibbs has to try something different..

Brunell sucks ass right now. Maybe he would concentrate more if he realized he was going to actually lose his job if he kept sucking.

I just find it odd that Coach is so careful not to call out certain players but will sellout a group that really played well and kind of needs the pat on the back. His typical "I've got to watch the tape" would have been much better. In the postgame interviews on Comcast, Dockery was talking about how the line had it together even though the passing game suffered. I have to believe that this kind of stuff can create division in a locker room. When a unit racks up 225 yds rushing and then takes the blame for the passing game it's got to bother you. Then when you watch the game film and see that you did indeed have a good game...well it's only time before players question why the Coach has it so hot for the QB even if it means selling you out a bit.
I'm sure Joe Gibbs knows what he's doing but...
