Can someone tell me what happened?

Well put Matty, I couldn't state it any better myself. I agree 100%. Norv is not a good head coach. Yes, the Raiders do have personnell issues. But a whole lot of coaches have had a lot less talent than Turner with better results. That was my main issue with him here. Everybody makes too many excuses for Norv and they blame Snyder. People forget, Turner is now a loser with three different owners: Jack Kent Cooke, John Kent Cooke, Dan Snyder and Al Davis.

Stick to the booth Norv. This has been your entire Head Coaching Career :Flush:

I agree, we're not 2-5 simply because of the QB play. It's definitely contributed to it, but it's not the only reason.

But as we all know, QB's receive too much credit when the team is doing well and too much blame when the team struggles. They're the convenient hero/scapegoat.


That's why they earn the big bucks. If Brunell was 10% more accurate we'd have won more than 50% of our games.

it is about qb play, the most important position on the field and its our worst position and dead last in the nfl or atleast nfc. imagine the possibilities of a 80 yard TD pass to coles on a fly pattern. it could happen if brunell would throw it to coles and not off target out of bounds or to the other team. against the bears, all day to pass and coles was open deep and what happned, a freaking shit pass that sailed away and was not even on target. or this past game, DID YOU MISS THE 3 YARD DUMP SCREEN PASS TO TAYLOR????? IT WAS OVER THROWN TO WHERE HE HAD TO MAKE A JUMPING ONE HANDED GRAB WHICH CAUSED A 2 YARD LOSS ON A 3RD N 1. or maybe clinton out in the flat that could have made a decent 9 to 15 yards and he throws it where clinton has to dive and we get 5 yards. or later on the same route, its so terribly thrown that clinton couldnt even catch it. IT ALL STARTS THERE. OH, last one, cooley open in the endzone, and brunell spins a 360 and over thows him for a TD. granted he was under some preasure, but alot of qbs make that throw because they can throw it on a rope instead we have a guy who throws hot air baloons and it sails over our 6'4" h-back in the endzone with NOBODY ON D IN SITE. once again, it all starts there.

Brunell hasn't been playing well, but you can't forget the bad play calling, the penalties on the line, and the pressure he's taking. As I say to my dad during games "typical Redskins football." Basically, when you've sucked for so long, its hard to just automatically be good. Give Joe time, we'll get it together, I think people's expectations were too high this season.

i agree. expectations were way to high. the last few years i've thought we were a very talented team that just needed the right direction, but I'm not so sure now. Hopefully a full year together can improve the chemistry of Gibbs' real redskins, cos I can't take many more losing seasons.
