Brunell key to VICTORY!
 

Brunell's 36 yd scramble (atleast that's my estimate from where he started his run) biggest play of the game. Then completing the 4th down pass to Thrash and both bombs to Moss. Brunell is hands down player of the game!!!

Re: Brunell key to VICTORY!
 

Ahhhhh............................, the morning after. After so many years of waking up next to another "coyote ugly" loss to the Boys, we are basking in the afterglow of a stunning, Redskin victory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And.............oh yea, for those Gibbs/Brunell naysayers, (can you smell the smoke of the cookin' fire) there will be plenty of crow for all in need. Though, Brunell is no Joe Montana, he did a damn good impression of it for 6 minutes last night. He also proved maybe he can handle a more complex game plan in the future (perfect time for a bye) It wasn't the prettiest game, but it has been YEARS since one felt so sweet. It also re-united me with feelings I haven't had since Joes's last tenure. The feeling that there, is still time on clock, and accompanying confidence that, they can still get it done. Not the dread that "thank god it is almost over". Of all the unlikely hero's of the game, Brunell refused to lay down and play dead, and victory was born on the seemingly worn out arm of a burned out, has been QB-(according to the media)
I think a monster corner was turned last night. The Skins proved they could do all things they have been unable to do for 10+ years, and it took Joe's return to get it done. It was a long way from perfect, and they have a long way to go, but...................THEY KICKED DALLAS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think it was 25yards on a 3rd and 27, it was a great run though. I'd vote for moss for being open all day ;)

the morning after is great.

Re: Brunell key to VICTORY!
 

the beauty of this win is: If we make a run and go 4-0 or 5-1, no one will be talking about a qb controversey, and Ramsey will calm down in the interest of being a team player on a winning team.

I liked Brunell's quip on Comast about how he thought he might never be able to go back to DC if they had lost last night.

Right, but I think he was referring to how far he actually had to run when you count in his dropback.

Re: Brunell key to VICTORY!
 

Brunell's scramble was the biggest play of the game because we were dead in the water without it. To come back behind it and beat the blitz, good blitz pickup Portis, made it better.

The key to victory tonite is Moss. He was able to get open most of the night, suffered through the frustration of overthrows and missed reads for three quarters and his speed won the game. Great throws by Brunell, especially considering he can't throw the deep ball anymore ;). :party-smi

Brunell & Moss >> Montana & Rice

Re: Brunell key to VICTORY!
 

The scramble and the 4th down pass to Thrash were very huge. It was nice to see him finally pick up Roy Williams' blitz at the time we needed it most. I really thought a sack was coming.

Re: Brunell key to VICTORY!
 

Say what you will but those 2 deep throws were friggin' beautiful. The first TD on 4th and 15 was a beautiful lead throw. Look where Moss was when it left Brunell's hand. The 2nd throw was "Rypien-esque" in it's deep accuracy. Let's hope Mark B. can have some more of that.

Re: Brunell key to VICTORY!
 

Let's hope that the playbook includes more of those long bombs, we have the personnel.

Re: Brunell key to VICTORY!
 

:lol:Just when you thought we were done!!!!as i said on my prediction the game will be won on a last minute TD and the right man will step up and take us to the promise land!!!!this is frigggin awsome im still on cloud nine!!!! just keep crankin!!!

Re: Brunell key to VICTORY!
 

That was truly classic last night!! How many of us remember through the years how the Boys have beaten us the very same way. Great performance in the end.

I was happy for Brunell as you all know I have always stuck up for him because I always thought he could do what he showed last night at the end of the game. I can imagine after all the talk he didn't want to come back to Washington a looser.

Hail Redskins!!! Rest up and keep it going.

I can't wait for week 4. SO.... If the giants lose to SD this week (likely, IMHO) we'll be sitting...alone...IN FIRST PLACE IN THE NFC EAST

Re: Brunell key to VICTORY!
 

These comments may be for another thread, but I just want to say forget about Brunell's "noodle arm". That first TD pass was thrown for 50 yards in the air and the second was for 45 yards in the air. They were also both very "rainbow like" which allows a receiver to run under them and make the play. I hate to say this, but all things being equal Ramsey would have thrown "frozen ropes", with a very low trajectory and possibilty of being caught. If I have a QB who can throw 50 yards in the air, how much more of an arm on my QB do I need as a coach? If any of you have noticed McNabb's deep throws to T.O. in Week 2 or the preseason, he also throws "rainbows" that allow a receiver to run under them. What I guess I am saying is Brunell throws a very catchable ball. We need to work on that in the coming weeks and let him make more of these types of throws.

Re: Brunell key to VICTORY!
 

gibbs actually threw down the field throughout the game- the passes were either underthrown or had really good coverage... i truly believe the playbook is opening up for all four quarters. brunell just happened to complete the only ones when it counted.

good news!

yeah, it wasn't like the TD to Moss was the first deep attempt of the game. The playcalling wasn't the problem early on so much as the lack of execution and simply being outplayed by the Dallas D

Re: Brunell key to VICTORY!
 

I totally forgot about several plays Brunell made to keep the drives going despite a non-scoring effort. What it reveals is how Brunell never gave up and adjusted to the blitzing defense of Dallas and scrambled when he had to. I'm convinced more than ever before that we can win with the small core of guys like Thrash, Royal, Cooley,Portis, Betts and Moss to develop an offensive threat.

Re: Brunell key to VICTORY!
 

They dared him to go deep....good job brunell!!! :cheers

Yeah... I hope after this game they start throwing the ball deep a few times early on to get the defense to play back some. Just throwing a couple early on, let alone completing them, will help keep the defense guessing and stop crowding the line to stop Portis. The other thing about Moss is that he WENT for the ball agressively both times.

And you make another good point... anybody who doubts Brunell's ability to throw deep is smoking something. Those 2 TDs passes were two of the prettiest throws I've seen in a long time.

Those were some damn fine passes from Brunell to Moss. He threw one of them into double coverage, but he read it perfectly and saw that Moss was going to beat the DBs. There is no question that Brunell's stock rose dramatically. I hope that we can see more of those in the coming weeks.

I just wonder, where was that Brunell during the first three quarters? If he can play anything close to what he played like in the last four minutes throughout an entire game (or even a half), he'll be a stud and take us into the playoffs.

We tried to stick with the running game and keep things as well balanced as possible.....in the fourth quarter....we abandoned the run altogether and the Cowboys dared us to beat them in the are. They just didn't realize we were capable of doing so....neither did we know either!

Re: Brunell key to VICTORY!
 

The theory behind getting the big play recievers is to get some coverage down the field to open up the ground attack. 3 quarters of dink and dunk brought them all inside and left williams in coverage on moss. williams is good, but moss has the burners. You would think though, that if guys were stacking the box from the beginning that we would rip a few off early to back the off so we could go back to being balanced, but I'm not a coach.
