2-5 at the bye: time to make changes
 

With 5 losses I think it's safe to say the playoffs are out of the picture barring an epic turnaround.

Not that I think it's going to make a dramatic difference this year, but I think it's time to start Campbell and start building towards next year. We need to get an idea if this kid can play. Let him take his lumps and get some game experience.

Get some of the youngers guys in there too like McIntosh.

Please, please take Holdman out. I swear I saw miss at least 3 or 4 tackles today. He's horrible. McIntosh couldn't do any worse.

Re: 2-5 at the bye: time to make changes
 

Yes. He can't play any worse than Brunell really.

Re: 2-5 at the bye: time to make changes
 

Put in Campbell. Brunell is good at not losing games at this point, but with the defense we currently field, we need a QB who will be a gunslinger and takes the chances that can win games.

um no, "not losing games" and "winning now" both imply WINNING. Brunell is only good at not throwing INTs. above actually trying to win games.

A 2-5 record is not "good" at not losing games!

Re: 2-5 at the bye: time to make changes
 

I'm dissapointed yet anxious... lets start the future now.

Re: 2-5 at the bye: time to make changes
 

Brunell definately needs to go. But what about the defense? It was pathetic, even if we were going against Peyton Manning. And what about the O-line? Jansen AND Samuels were awful. Samuels got owned today and Jansen has been getting toasted all year.

Time for Campbell

Re: 2-5 at the bye: time to make changes
 

So guys, when does next season start? I think we'll see a qb switch over the bye week. That and a linebacker switch. Possibly a db switch too.

Re: 2-5 at the bye: time to make changes
 

There is absolutely no reason to leave in Brunell or Holdman. If anybody thinks Brunell gives us the best chance to win now, they are just stupid. Not that that matters now anyway, because we're not going to make the playoffs. Holdman isn't doing anything either. It's time to plan for the future.

A db switch? To who? Everyone is either hurt or has been hurt. Our issue isn;t the play of the guys we got. It's the NOT playing of the guys we got.

Re: 2-5 at the bye: time to make changes
 

yeah and which LB? I hear McIntosh is making too mistakes in practice.

Re: 2-5 at the bye: time to make changes
 

It's obvious to everyone but Joe that Campbell needs to replace Dr. Dumpoff at QB. We KNOW what Brunell can do and it's not enough, let's find out if Campbell can get it done. Getting our starting secondary back should help, I'm not opposed to replacing Holdman (who missed 5 tackles easily today) with McIntosh. We need to find out what we have on the roster and if we can win with them. We aren't getting it done with who is on the field, let's shake things up and see what else we have!

Re: 2-5 at the bye: time to make changes
 

Gibbs is going to stick with Brunell. It's hard to believe, but he just can't seem to put that old dog down. No offense to Brunell. He's had a darn good career, but he needs to retire.
