You will respect the Skins passing now!

I'm not saying this is a superbowl or anything like that. I'm just saying that was one of the all-time sweetest skins wins I have ever seen. The way the whole thing went down was like a movie script or something. And against our most hated rivals in their foul-looking stadium on their "ring of honor" night, etc etc. Amazing. Gibbs said it was one of the highlights of his sport's life. It was an amazing comeback win.

Brunell made things happen- the longer he was in there the better he threw. The scramble was great; how nice was it to see a real no crap bomb? If Brunell can threaten that kind of pass each game Portis will own, he dosn't even have to complete it all that often.

I agree. I hope this is a sign that Gibbs will stop being so rigidly conservative and let Brunell take some legitimate shots downfield-- and that Brunell will continue to take those shots and complete them!

If Gibbs opens it up earlier in the game and threatens the defense downfield more often, it should definitely open things up for Portis and Betts. Hopefully, Gibbs will look at the first six quarters that Brunell played this season and realize that the old dink-and-dunk approach will get this offense nowhere fast. He can't keep waiting until the team is up against the ropes to start calling a real passing game. Safe, short passes are a smart component of any passing offense-- but they shouldn't comprise the entire passing offense!

Here's to flashbacks of Rypien-to-Clark! :food-smil

I think some of the doubters need to realize we waited for a desperate time to take desperate measuresw and hopefully gibbs learns from this. But doubters must realize we just took 2 big long shits in the mouths of one of the best D's in the league in a 4 minute span. (Not to mention a recently unbeatable rival, hated opposing coach, on a sacred day for the franchise in their house.) Coach listened to Moss on the sideline and he called the play this is coaches call, so Gibbs had something to do with this.
