I think Brunell sucks is the easy way out...although right about now it's probably true.

As far as the offense being out of snych. Well my thoughts on that are, the QB sets the rythym, he sets the pace often times. He can impose his will on the tempo of the game. Brunell never, ever forces anything.

Today I watched Eli Manning play three very mediocre quarters of football. But when his team needed him most, he made the gutsy throws to win the game. On that final drive where they won the game, you can't tell me Philly 'took everything' away, yet Eli was able to string together enough throws for his offense to believe they could pull it out. That's not the case with Brunell or the Redskins. No, eveything doesn't rest on Brunell. No, he doesn't shoulder all the blame for the ineptness of our offense, but if he of all people can't pull up his own bootstraps, huddle the boys up, and start throwing between the numbers, woe unto us!!
