Define "field general". U.S. Grant or George Custer?

Re: Give Props to Brunell

He managed the game and made a few plays. No INTs and the fumble was not his fault. There is a formula to win with Brunell and we saw it today against a top 5 defense.

We should sit Brunell every Tuesday and Wednesday for the rest of the year (until we have 7 losses). Have Campbell take snaps with the first team on those days. Brunell is better when rested...

The snap from center wasn't Brunell's fault.

I don't believe what I'm reading here.

Could he have caught it? Yes. But the snap was early and high. So I'll put more of the blame on Rabach on that one...

I blame Rabach for the botched snap. I blame Brunell for not diving on the ball after the fumble. But, I'm not going to let 1 or 2 snaps define our offense's or Brunell's performance.

I listened to the game. Whoever was doing sideline reporting for Triple X said Brunell went to the sideline and said the botched snap was on him. He called for the ball and then took his eye off of it. Sam Huff said "high snap." Sonny Jurgensen proceded to light him up. He was like "Are you kidding me? That's just where want a snap!"

Thanks for the info, I didn't hear that.

Re: Give Props to Brunell

brunell played like he suppose to play with line help... i only saw two, maybe three suspect passes- i saw plenty of zip down the middle, getting thrash and lloyd involved when not getting it to cooley. considering the lack of moss, he did a commendable job against a solid D.

Re: Give Props to Brunell

I am definitely a Brunell basher. He did have a good game. He finally did some of the things I've bashed him about. He finally challenged the Cowboys deep. He completed one, which was called back because of a penalty and one other caused a pass interference call. Most importantly, by throwing deep a few times, it made the safeties respect the deep ball and opened up the middle where he had his most success. I've been crying all year that he can't keep throwing short passes and be successful. Brunell is still not completely out of my doghouse. His ability is limited and I will just have to live with the fact that he is just going to manage the game and hopefully that will be good enough to win. The Skins just can't get into a situation where they need him to win a game. I don't see that happening.

Great point. There comes a time in every season where you need your QB to win a game or two for you. Defense is playing bad. The running game isn't working and your behind. Brunell simply can't do this. He can only manage the game. He can't take it over. Campbell at least has the skills to do this. Some QB's can do it from the pocket. Some can do it running and passing like McNabb.

Re: Give Props to Brunell

What is all this talk about interceptions/bad throws? I don't remember a MB interception today. Didn't we just defeat our Arch Rivals?

I did hear Troy Aikman/Joe Buck say that any Redskins pass, where a Cowboys defender was within 10 yards of the pass, was almost an interception. However, consider the source.

Re: Give Props to Brunell

Not a Brunell fan, but he was good today. I give the guy credit. He won't go away and he obviously has a lot of heart. I was just happy he started looking for Lloyd and he went over the middle more times today than all other seven games combined this year. I don't get this guy, but I'm not complaining after that win. We fought hard today. Oh and I was giving Archuletta some decent slack, but today he was pure garbage.
