Whoever is blaming Brunell for the loss either didn't see the game or is just ignorant.
His fumbles didn't help, but the guy is playing his ass off, we would be lost without him.

Both fumbles were his fault. And he should know how to keep the ball close to his body when he scrambles. A veteran QB should know that.
I disagree. The first one wasn't his fault. Samething would have happened to Tom Brady. The second one was his fault, but at least he was trying to make a play for us, other than Patrick Ramsey throwing the ball up for grabs.

He wasn't scrambling when he fumbled the first time around, Samuels just got beat.
To be upset with him for the fumbles is certainly understandable. But to say Brunell sucks and to put the loss on him is going a little too far. Brunell did just fine in my opinion.
I am a Ramsey fan and thought he got a raw deal..and have been very outspoken against brunell...BUT this one wasnt on him i thought he played great ..i will not put him down for trying to make a play... he played his heart out.... He has earned my respect.....

Plain and simple, I was not impressed with the defense today. Granted, we are missing Springs and unfortunately Ade Jimoh has to play than any of us want him to and Carlos Rodgers will be the target of many QBs testing his skills and he'll get burned his fair share, but...
1) No Pressure on the QB + 2) No Turnovers + 3) 3 Fumbles of our own = a loss
I agree with 1, 2, and 3. But I was pretty impressed with the way the defense kept KC from really running away with this game. I can assure you that if we had the three turnovers, we would have won that game big. Some of the problem is the defense, but some of the problem is that we need to jump out to a lead so that other offenses can't play so close to the vest.

BTW, Brunnel doesn't suck. The guy is running the offense about as good as I've ever seen. We will all feel better once we beat up on San Fran.
PHEWWWW!
