Hats off to Mark Brunell setting a NFL record!

[MTK]

Whenever you set a NFL record, it's worthy of it's own thread. Too bad I have to start it 2 1/2 hours after the game but oh well. I'm sure the haters will still hate, but for one afternoon you have to admit he played a great game. It's hard to complete 22 straight even in Madden let alone against a real NFL defense, but I guess real NFL defense is debateable.

Regardless, let's keep this as a positive Mark Brunell thread for once. I know it might be hard, but you guys can do it.

Congrats to Mark Brunell!

22 straight completions. A NFL record.

Congrats Mark! way to prove the doubters, including myself, wrong! I didn't think you were capable of such a feat.

Loving these POSITIVE threads Matty PLEASE continue.....

He did grt job today. Thats a Saunders offense right there....Trent never that grt.. just keep ball moving when you have to....EXCELLENT JOB mark.

Good building block for Mark. I was thinking, in retrospect, that this game will hopfully prove to be a building block for Brunell. Today, we saw a lot of short to mid-range completions. I think as he get's comfortable with this aspect of the offense and playbook, we'll see some shots down the field more. Not a ton, but we'll see more I think next week.

good job mark. keep it up

[LadyT]

Congrats to the whole team for a much-needed and much-deserved victory. D played better and they will only continue to improve when Springs returns. Portis and Betts were awesome. Brunell played a good, ball control offense, though it was almost entirely dink passes. Still, he got the job done and that's what counts.

Good game plan by both GW and AS.

I hope this proves to be a confidence builder. But they will need to open up the offense against the tougher opponents.

All in all, I'm one happy Skins fan tonight and very happy for the players too.

[SantanaMan]

Yeah, congratulations Mark, we of course all knew you had it in you ;-)

Found myself cheering each consecutive completion, cheering when the roughing the passer call kept his streak alive and feeling a little sad with the first incompletion (like 22/23 is that bad, lol).

[Longtimefan]

That was quite a feat today by Brunell, congrads. Keep firing and good things will happen. Twentytwo straight, and I thought I had seen it all.

brunell...LEGEND

Congrats to Brunell.

No doubt this is a very impressive stat line for #8, but did any of his passes actually go more than 5yrds (through the air I mean) because all I saw were some screens and dump offs.
I'm really not trying to piss all over his accomplishment but I missed the first half of the game and just wanted to know if he passed down field all that much.
