It's not Brunell's fault!

Hesscl,

Brunell's stats are okay; he completes a high number of his passes, doesn't throw picks, and doesn't force plays. Moreover, he's playing behind a bad O-line.

HOWEVER, Brunell appears incapable of throwing more than 2 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. Is it any wonder that teams do not respect our deep game? Brunell simply provides this team with NO spark. The guy is 36 and is taking us nowehere. I don't understand how anyone can honestly believe that Brunell isn't part of the problem.

I hate Brunell as much as the next guy and think we should start Campbell's career now. But is it just me or do Samuels and Jansen look like they have concrete blocks around their feet? I mean Samuels must've held every other play today. Our line is just not good unless we are MAX FUCKING protecting. Brunell sucks, but our line is also very average.

Agreed. This was a bad game for Samuels, but he gets a pass because he has been pretty consistent this year and everyone is entitled to have an off day. On the other hand, Jansen has looked bad ALL season long. I'm starting to really wonder what is wrong with Jansen.

Honestly though, I know Samuels didnt play well....but Freeney is one of the best (prob #2 behind Peppers) defensive ends in the league....why the hell did we leave Samuels out on an island with him and not give him any freaking help???

Especially after it was conistently happening for a half, why not have sellers chip him or somthing. Christ that pissed me off.

With Brunell it's either one of two things:

He can't do what he's required to do according to the play called for the down so he 'panic-checks' to the nearest option.

The Coaches don't trust him to throw anywhere over 10 yards and so they modify the gameplan to stay conservative.

Either way you're never going to win a game with that plan unless the other team spots us 14 at the start.

"He's playing behind a bad O ling".. exactly. Burrell may be part of the overall problem, but he wasn’t at fault today, and you cannot pin it on him. It's ego, period. It's about a team that thought they had it all and are disgusted that they cant' get it done. Well, life isn't easy. You either work for it or you are out.... Looks like "life" has bit the Skins right in the ass.

Totally agree with that.....hey....does anyone know what Lloyd was so hot about on the sideline today?? Besides us getting our ass handed to us and Brunell constantly throwing 4 yard passes on 3rd and 7.

Also when you're behind, those DEs can just tee off on our OTs. Samuels and Jansen are serviceable and better when they are not playing on their heels. In the Sanders offense they are just exposed more since we are not Max protecting anymore.

Gibss is a retard, he just praised Brunell in the presser saying he "looked excellent" what game is he watching. Brunell F ing sucks! It was all over the WRs faces, they are frustrated, they are open and Brunell dumps it off to Portis or Betts over and over again. Its the QB that drives the offense, and Brunell cant do it anymore.

I don't agree at all. Brunell is TRYING to do the right thing and throw to the best guy. He's not always on target but he does NOT suck. This is O line in my opinon, and secondary... that's the biggest problem.

If I had to guess, I would say that the receivers are frustrated with being open and not getting the ball. Lloyd may have been told to hold his toungue by another player, I don't know, but I would be frustrated if I were those guys.

Hess,
sorry, but that was the line for LAST week, you know when we lost to the 0-5 Titans?

i guarantee the Redskins weren't feeling overconfident in this game, this was the 5-0 Colts. even at half with the lead (thank god for Randle El).

The O-line can't be expected to give Brunell the kind of time he needs on every single play, because with Brunell's passing style it would take 10 passes to get 30yds unless the receivers break one.
