[VTSkins897]

good game. i hope we beat jacksonville next week. that'll be a tough contest.

[GTripp0012]

I watched Gannon as he systematically tore up the Broncos en route to the record and the begining of a SB run in 2002, and I sat there and said to myself that this was like DiMaggio's streak, and will never be broken again.

Man, was I wrong. Mark deserves it, especially after putting up with all the crap from the media this week.

[pg86]

And people continue to hate....That angers me not just as a redskins fan...but as a Quarterback as well...You know what..I believe in the 91 season the cowboys only had 1 victory and that was against the skins..in dallas, You cowboy fans continuing to talk crap about our Offense....Do not forget that you have to play us twice..., Our defense is crap I will agree there....Someone should talk about cutting Archelettas pay...or start scrutinizing the Defense so they can have a record day next week. Back on subject though...Give Brunell some credit, he proved himself.

Im sorry but I just dont get it...The man breaks a record AND I DO NOT Give a damn who it was against because playing like that...will pwn any team in the nfl..as it stands if we played the giants today we probably would of won that defense coulden't catch a cold. But Im fustrated as hell with the Brunell dissing that is continuing he bitch slapped his critics and those experts...And Im friggin loving it....Bend over NFL NETWORK!!!!

not insults im trying to be realist not going overboard on beating probaly the worst team in football. we will probably do this again against the titan and that proves nothing. i hope this is a turn around game for the skins but i'm in the wait and see mode. show me something in three of the next four weeks against the jags,giants which stink and the colts. i thought we might at best at the break be 4-3 now i hope its not 2-5. its great that he completed 22 in a row but only about 5 were across the line of scrimmage you can be the texans and titans that way but against a good team i think were going to have to do more lets hope im wrong.but like i said show me enough talking about it. hail to the skins and mark great game and trent green did a great job here talking over for gus ferrotten when we were o-6.

Uhhh....same Texans that had the Eagles by the throat two weeks ago. Same Texans that Peyton didn't connect for 22 in a row.

Look, these guys aren't the Steelers, but they sure as hell 'aint USC either.

While I give Brunell props for putting together an impressive amount of completions in a row, what I did notice is that only about six of his passes were actually over the line of scrimmage. From your list, it looks like more like eight were over the LoS, which is fine against the Texans, who tackle like a bunch of retarded bean bags, but I don't think the wide receiver screen will be nearly as effective against Jacksonville.

If this performance helped Brunell get his confidence back, I'll eat a plate full of crow, and root for him, but I'll hold my final judgement until after the next two games.

South, no need to wait til next week to eat crow. But some props are at least in order for he did yesterday.

I'll admit that he performed better than anyone expected. In fact, I'm sure Brunell didn't think he was going to break an NFL record yesterday, but I won't jump on the Brunell bandwagon, simply because he looked decent against the worst defense in the league. If he looks half as good against the Jags and Giants, I'll be first in line for some deep fried crow.

yes, props are due for Brunell managing that game like the vet he is.

i will join you in that hypothetical plate, and comparing Brunell's lateral/shovel pass completions with P.Manning's is kinda ridiculous (sorry CP), it only takes Peyton 3-4 completions to get in the endzone.

[MTK]

With the kind of guys we have, the short stuff makes sense. Randel El and Moss are both like punt returners in the open field. Nobody wants to take them on in space.

We will need to get the ball down field more often in the coming weeks, but in this game it just wasn't necessary.

[JWsleep]

And Gibbs said as much in his post game presser. He was asked if the lack of long throws was by design. He said it was, given what they thought would work against the Texans D. Mark executed that game plan perfectly. What's he supposed to do, ignore the game plan and throw long? Also, props to Saunders for coming up with a plan that worked, given our skill players.

Sure, it's going to be a different ball of wax against Jax, but that doesn't take away from the play of Brunnell against the Texans.

[redsk1]

MB had a great game no doubt. It is an impressive accomplishment, nobody has ever done it before and there have been alot of crappy teams out there. So no matter who it is or how you do it, it's pretty amazing.

And yes, i was a basher last week and i still have concerns that about the "downfield" thing, but props to MB!!
