Hats off to Mark Brunell setting a NFL record!

[JWsleep]

Good job, MB. Glad to see it. Now lets build on that for next week!!!

I'm a fan of Brunell. I think he did a great job today. But, let's get amped for j-ville coming to town. Just think Mark, here is your chance to pay back the organization that gave up on you. Again good job and let's build off of this game. Set a goal for no more loses from this point on. Just believe baby! You got heart and smarts Brunell.

[FRPLG]

He's god awful. We should have scored 50 points but he held us back!

Just kidding. That is the kind of stuff that will open up other aspects of the offense against other teams. If we can keep Portis healthy I would expect a continued improvement over the next several weeks. Next week will be a real test. Jax is kicng butt D-wise.

Congrats Marky Mark.

For any doubters out there, take a look around the league. There are a number of weak teams out there every year. There are also a number of West coast offenses that play them. Keep this in mind when we talk about Brunnels accomplishment today.

His accuracy was impressive, even for a short game. He didn't one hop any of his passes like the 2004 MB version.

Also, kudos to the guys catching the balls. How many drops do we see other teams make every week?

Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate!

does this silence the folks calling for brunnells head? hopefully he gained some confidence from that performance. It all points to next weekend. We need to address our penalties though....cant afford that many penalties againts a GOOD jacksonville team.

Texans are a good team to break records on.

that said, i was very disappointed we didn't see passes in the air over 30yds (before YAC). what gives?

it was all dump offs but a few. Not taking anything away from brunell but outside of a few throws it was all dump offs. Which worked...against houston.

exactly. a very conservative gameplan against whats considered one of the worst teams in football. we should've seen yardage records broken today.

What gives?

How about staying with a winning game plan that took time off the clock!

Gotta admit, he played well today. If he can keep that up I might even become a Mark Brunell supporter.

Come on Daseal we both no that neither will ever happen.

I notice Peyton Manning didn't set the record the previous week against Houston. I know that Houston's defense didn't give up this many points to those high-flying Eagles.

I'm not putting on a clean shirt so I can meet Brunell at the airport with a box of candy. I'm just saying that he had a great game in what was (for three quarters, anyway) a loud and hostile environment.

yeah who needs a series of consecutive completions when it takes P.Manning only one or two to get it downfield? seriously, what happened today was solid QB play by Mark, but thats really what you expect from a vet against no pressure and a sub-par Texan defense.
