Re: Give Props to Brunell
He didn't play "great," but he played pretty well. I know talking about Brunell is like talking about religion (it's black and white, right and wrong), but even I have to admit he played well today.
As has been pointed out, we had no running to speak of and were without our #1 playmaker, but the offense looked pretty solid against a good defense. |

Re: Give Props to Brunell
Im not bashing Brunell, i think he had a good game today and came up with an extremely good win but in all honesty, brunell doesnt play well for a couple games then comes out with a big one, which seems to be a trend do you think the orginization sees this or does this only further the love joe gibbs has for mark brunell after today?

It was important for Brunell that the team came away with a win today. He did make some throws that have been absent in previous games, and for the most part he performed decently. Had the team not won the game, many would still have been calling for his job, and I think he was aware of that going in, so in essence the team saved his job for another week, and he dosen't have to hear his critics. If we don't play well and loose in Philadelphia on Sunday, you can believe before the sun sets they'll be calling for his head again. I'm sure he's grown acustomed to it by now, when we're winning we're grinning and all is well with the world, when we loose.......Fire Brunell!!!

Re: Give Props to Brunell
Anyone praising Brunell nedds to watch those passes again (particularly the one to Cooley for the TD, the one that went through Williams' hands, the fetal position on the pass rush, the non-throw to Lloyd when he bumped into Cooley and Cooley fell down leaving Lloyd wide open and behind the D, the one......) and then tell me he looked good/OK.
Yeah, Sheriff, it's a lot like religion. You're either blinded by faith or a rational person. |

Seriously it's like you'd rather the team lose just so you can keep bitching about Brunell. Enjoy the fucking moment

Brunell isn't good enough for this team to progress, why is that so hard for people to comprehend? Yes, I'm happy we won. No, I don't think that Brunell WON it for us. There's a subtle difference that I can see, if you're honest I'm sure you can too. |

Long term no Brunell is not the answer. We know that. We all know that. But in the here and now he did just fine. But whatever, you have your fun bashing him. I'm done debating it

Look I'm not going to act like Brunell set the world on fire today. I really didn't think he played any better today than any other day. I thought he did his part to win. I think he's been doing that all year. I want to see what happens to our offensive efficiency ratings, but I think its clear now that we as fans are blinded by wins and losses. Brunell has been a constant. Another high completion low risk day. He made his mistakes as he usually does. As everyone does. But like hes done all season, he moved the football. He did his part in this win and should be commended. The difference was in the defense. We made a step from shitty up to average today, and it really made a difference. In character with the rest of the year, we couldnt catch any breaks all game long. We just pulled off the most amazing well deserved series of plays at the end. The world is right again. And THAT is my 1500th post.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
Or, RedskinRat, you're blinded by sheer hatred.
I've been bashing Brunell for weeks, but I'm willing to call a spade a spade and give him credit where credit is due. Brunell had 192 yards passing, 1 TD and no INTs. Brunell and the receivers also drew about 80 yards in pass interference calls. So, while Brunell only had 192 yards passing, the passing game produced about 272 yards and should have produced over 300 (the Fauria penalty negated a 37 yard pass to Lloyd). I'd call that a good day. |

Re: Give Props to Brunell
I will be watching the game again later this week, I hope others do too, then we'll discuss it again and you tell me if Brunell looked poor/average/good.
I'm not hating I'm calling it as I see it. |

Re: Give Props to Brunell
I will accept the criticism. I have called for Brunell's head.
He was a Pro-Bowler today. And for that idiot Rexi, Brandon Lloyd was f-ing money today. F you and your miserable team. |

Re: Give Props to Brunell
I'm glad you joined me as a Brunell-hater who's willing to swallow his pride and give props where they are due.
