See it's easy to point the finger at the QB when the passing game isn't successful. Gibbs has admitted that he is partly responsible with that problem. Gibbs is sending only two receivers on routes that make it easy to double cover them. He needs to get back to stacking four WR's and letting them three run short routes while one runs the long route. This is what he did against Dallas and it worked. Another point about Brunell is his leadership. The no huddle offense works but Brunell needs to be able to get into a rhythm and keep the defense off balance. This also worked against Dallas. No INTS against the CowBitches and 325 yds. in passing is not bad, so the blame still goes all around.

17 minutes of good play doesn't balance out against 283 minutes of piss poor play. Are you actually saying Brunell doesn't deserve criticism?
He's got the fewest yards per pass attempt in the NFC and the fewest deep balls in the entire league. That's not someone who's succeeding at throwing a deep ball.
