Round'em up

[DirtBagZ]

I am keeping my sig, for a while. I am not going to speak negative of Brunell or Gibbs. Brunell did something that we have not seen in a long, long time, he brought the Skins back in the 4th quarter in a big time game.

We have the bye this week and it looks as thought the football gods are smiling upon us with the early bye. Brunell will get a 'mini-camp' so to speak with the first team offence. Gibbs will have this team ready for Seattle.

I have never felt so good waking up after four hours of sleep to go to work. HTTR!

That's the spirit! Take a little time to smell the roses (or Brunell's demise). Condemnation will come as is fitting (or not).

Daseal = "keeping it real"
Why am I not suprised?

Let's not make this about who the haters are and who had faith. If we can learn anything from that win last night it's that you have to stick together no matter the circumstances. The team was able to do that and the fans need to start doing that as well.

Whether it was Brunell, or Gibbs, or the rest of the team, or whoever. I can tell you, Brunell and company has accomplished something NOBODY else has (at least since Gibbs last tenure). It is a major first step on the road to respectability!! Take a little time to "smell the roses"

i don't think you can blame anyone for having their doubts; i did and in the heat of the moment up until the 4th qtr. i def. was getting irritated. i guess that's why i, like most ppl here, never turn off the games. instead of saying 'in your face' though i'd say something like "aren't you glad you were wrong? at least this week." i sure as hell am.

why all this attacking? brunell looked awful for 56minutes and then midnight stuck and he turned into a pro bowler, but whether its the scheme or him or whatever, we still had an awful 3+ quarters before turning the corner, so I'm still going to withhold judgement (brunell was great vs dallas last year too), but i'm glad we have the win and we'll see where it goes from here

You can withold judgement all you want. The fact is Brunell led this team like a true QB is supposed to. He kept them together and got the ball to the right player at the right time. And even rushed for 35yds. When it's all said and done, Brunell threw for more yds than Bledsoe, Moss caught for more yds than Terry Glenn and the Redskins are 2-0, sitting pretty with a bye week.

How many times did we dominate Dallas for four quarters only to lose on a stupid broken play? That's why you play until the clock says 0:00. Remember last year? We dominated the majority of the games we lost against Dallas, so it is fitting that we get a win in the same way they have beaten us. It's called karma. Or as the old folks say, "What goes around, comes around." Mark (Brunell) my words, we will win more games than anyone can imagine.

i understand all that, brunell turned into superman, but that doesn't mean he was great the first 56minutes. I'm withholding judgement cause i can't tell if the scheme + brunell's trust etc finally turned the corner or not yet. But if it has, i'll definately be happy to watch it But beyond that, a win is a win, and he's 1-0 vs dallas this year.

Man I'm not going to say shit at work. I'm going to sit there like we loss and let the accolades come to me. They know how crazy I am about the Redskins. I'm not even going to where anything burgundy and gold. Just sit there like I expected us to do what we did. Enjoy your two weeks.

Portis is NOT supposed to have more catches than Patten, Jacobs and Cooley combined like he did last night. those check downs were what killed the drives. those dinky passes keep everyone in the box just as much as runs do.

It looked to me like the receivers were being really well-covered early on. I'm not sure why but it looked like when Patten went out and they went to Moss, Thrash and Jacobs that they were getting open. Brunell isn't going to force something that's not there

i dunno. that exactly what was said last year. i think Brunell didn't really know what these guys are capable of until last night, and before those circumstances would refuse to throw a pass he considered 'risky'.

but that's the whole knock on Brunell, and what spurned the call for Ramsey last year and this year. Ramsey definitely took more risks, but he wasn't afraid to throw to his receivers instead of checking down. and at least last year it brought us more points (along with the INTs).

I guess then the question is are we looking for a QB who will take risks at the expense of really hurting our team with a boneheaded play, or someone who will play "not to lose" until it's absolutely necessary to take a risk. And which one is better for this team as it's currently assembled (strong D, superstar running back)
