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.

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).

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.

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.

Nope, he didn't. A lot of short, dink passes all day long, but against Houston it worked.

how could u forget the brunell to patten awesome catch! wasnt the best pass but was an awesome catch, and was prolly 20 yards in the air
He hit Patten on a nice one down the middle for 25, not sure if that was after the streak though.

Pretty sure that it was during the streak. Fantastic catch!
Way to go, Mark!
