Yeah, booing Brunell was asinine. All he did was what he was called to do: Come in and back up JC when he is hurt. Though I advocated benching Brunell since Game 2, there was no reason at all to boo him. He did his best this season; it just wasn't good enough.

I'm sure if you would have polled those same people before they booed Brunell and asked them if they would ever do such a thing, they probably would look at you like and idiot and declare how classless that is.

I think people do things they normally don't do when they get caught up. But it was most definitely unfair and classless.

Exactly. And this is why I'm not sure it was all directed at Brunell. I'm not making any excuses or trying to over analyze this.

Fan Psychology 101: It's possible that many saw the Campbell injury and Brunell's entrance as an interuption or disruption to the continuance of the 'Jason Campbell era.' In their minds, were they really saying, no we don't want to go back to the old, let's keep marching forward to the kid. Even if Brunell comes in and lights it up, I think many people are done with that chapter of the Redskins.

I understand that take, I wasn't happy to see Brunell come in only because I didn't want to watch him play in the last game of the year and obviously Campbell is the future and more fun to watch at this point, but the guy didn't deserve to be booed.

I tell you what, Eli had better thank God they won last night. Because the press was just waiting to roll all over him this morning. (no pun intended)

I was at the game and I was embarassed. There were a bunch of Giants fans in my section that booed at first when he started trotting on the field, and I would very much like to blame that on them, but sadly I know that it was skins fans too, and moreso than just disruptive Giants fans.

I will say that the band playing in the club level was very good.

I was yelling at everyone "Don't booo him! We want to win! Don't boo him! You guys are crazy"...

But then a bunch of drunken rednecks were like "Brunell sucks donkey D$%*" and realized my efforts were futile. I just decided to start cheering as loud as a could.

Great game to go see, Fed-Ex field was very loud on third down, and was pretty much flawless minus the Brunell booing fiasco.

I was so disappointed by this. Nobody in my section was booing, though, so I'm not sure where it was coming from.

Well, Jason Campbell is showcasing why he is our quarterback over Mark Brunell.....


but I agree that there was really no reason to boo him.
