Give Props to Brunell

I would say that brunell looked good in the first half, distributing the ball well, stretching the field etc. But I would say his second half effectiveness was less impressive. Even on a GREAT DAY (I’m still smiling), his stats were only 14/23 for 192 yards and one score. I think we all can say, that brunell played ok/well (ie, giving him props) but honestly, those stats aren’t’ getting us to the playoffs or superbowl- sans a Raveneque D. Not to mention- in the 4th quarter he tossed 2 balls that should have been picked off. I don’t mean to be a downer, but lets be honest…while brunell was better- he’s not winning many games for you (for those of you who will say- he “won” this- that is true, but we are still 3-5).

Great to have springs back…rogers got burned again…gave up 1 td, should have been 2.

No matter, Vincent and Taylor followed by Novack pulled out the game from us….Loving it…

He made some questionable throws but he made plays when we needed them most. Big TEAM win yesterday. Everybody had a part in this one. Offense , defense and ST.

A couple honest observances of Brunell:

The completion to Lloyd for like 50 yards or whatever was a potential big play that got called back for holding. But don't be quick to praise Brunell for it. He underthrew it, and Lloyd made a great play to come back and jump in front of the CB. But at least he tried to go deep.

Brunell threw a ball to the sidelines (I can't remember the intended receiver) that went right off the hands of a Cowboys defender. Our receiver was bracketed by Cowboys, and that throw could only be described as ill-advised.

Brunell made a great throw on the ball to Thrash down the seam. He threaded it over the LB and in front of the safety.

The throw on the run to Cooley in the end zone was very impressive.

I just want to add the great throw over the middle to Cooley which he dropped. That would have been a nice gain.

it WAS "ill-advised" hehe. ideally, we want a QB who can squeeze the ball into tight spaces, and Brunell has been avoiding those types of passes all year. while it's obvious Brunell isn't remotely the gunslinger best suited to this (not by a longshot), it was good to see him try these and take the chances we need to win the game with our busted defense.

more passes in the middle, more passes downfield = greater INT risk. that's just the game.

if you don't want INTs, then you want Brunell's regular checkdowns, dinks, dunks, and short yardage sideline darts.

No-one has any room to say anything negative about Brunell this game. He played with poise, he managed the game, spread the ball, and made plays when we needed them. We rolled down the field on the first drive, and almost capped it (but elected not to give sellers the ball, still don't know why) off.

The defense showed flashes of what they need to become. It's time for this team to get hungry, have a tough week of practice, and come out with another W in philli.

I'm not excited just yet, but shit... if the ball wants to take a redskins bounce, might as well make the best of it.

Here's where I can acknowledge I'm biased: I thought the throw to Cooley for the TD was a heart-stopper. It should have been deeper to make it impossible for the ball to be picked.

The end result was 6.

That's all we should care about. Even the best QBs don't make perfect throws all the time. He threw it up there and gave Cooley a chance to make a play. That's what we've all wanted this season, right? For him to take more shots?

Matty, that's why I I stated my bias first. I'd still want the ball better delivered.

I'm currently listening to 980 B-Mitch to get his take. He's listing what's still wrong. Ripping Arch a new one. Niiiiiiiiice.

I agree, MB was barely able to get that ball to CC. MB played his usual sub-par game.

OK, you're going to have to stand in the 'Mr. Negative' corner with me and Schneed.
