'Skins-Cowboys Game thread 9/19/05

[Hijinx]

This lost goes squarly on the back of GIbbs. The game has passed him by. He is not willing to try anything different and has sadled as with the worst offense in the NFL, hell in any football league.

[SeasonTicketHolder]

so we never ever have a short field to work with

[illdefined]

i may not have 3 super bowl rings, been there for the practices, or believed more in the preseason, but this is exactly what I expected.

[Mattyk]

So none of the other problems matter tonight?

Nobody getting open, the OL getting blown up, guys dropping balls when they actually do get open?

Plugging in Ramsey wouldn't equal an instant fix, not with the way the entire offense is playing right now.

Haven't scored a TD since last December........

HOLY SHIT!!!

Brunell isn't either.

Basically we're screwed until Campbell is ready.

Taylor gets burned yet again against Dallas. Lovely.

How the hell would we know what Ramsey COULD have done since he was yanked after 1 1/4 quarters? How much more of Brunell do you have to see. If we put in Campbell you can forget the playoffs.....isn't that why Gibbs came back here? Do you really think we have a playoff caliber offense??? Defence yes - O-no, make that hell no.

Why didn't Gibbs the GM entertain picking up Trent Dilfer? He looks a hell of lot better than what we have, could have probably traded Ramsey for him.

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

I'm just waiting for everyone BUT Brunell to be blamed for the loss tonight.

Everyone was praising Moss, Patten, the O-line, and Portis in the preseason and all of the sudden, Brunell isn't to blame....it's thier fault. The offensive woes are a team effort, but Brunell is a big part of the problem.

[WestCoastSkinsFan]

I'm just confused as to why it doesn't even look like they're trying to go deep. I've been listening on the radio up until about 30 minutes ago, so I've missed some, but I mean... 3rd and 11 and a dump to Portis? Come on.

I'm not defending Brunell at all...

But I'm not gonna sit here and act like he's the only problem right now.

Its not his fault, its Gibbs.

[Mattyk]

I'm blaming Zack Mills

[Paintrain]

Blame list:
1. Snyder-He's #1 on my list permanently until he sells the team
2. Gibbs
3. Brunold, AKA Donnie Dump Off, AKA Dink-n-Dunk, AKA Can't Hit a Moving Target
4. Sean Taylor

Plugging in Ramsey wouldn't equal an instant fix, not with the way the entire offense is playing right now.

Patten was open deep and Brunell underthrew him in the first half.
Moss was open in the endzone and Brunell underthrew him.
And the entire offense looks different and plays different when Ramsey is in there. It's as simple as this: Look at the numbers. Compare what Ramsey has done in the Gibbs offense to what Brunell has done in the Gibbs offense. That's all I ask, just please compare the numbers. Ramsey has had more yards per attempt, more yards per completion, a better completion percentage, a better QB rating, and a ton more passing yards. They both play under the same offensive system........so assuming the offense would have been just as bad tonight with Ramsey at the helm is contradictory to history.

Oh, and Brunell just underthrew Patten AGAIN.

It matters because when can't the stretch the field because your QB cannot hit any of the intermediate throws so there is no room for the running game. On the short stuff it is not like Brunell has hit ANYONE in stride, how many times have you seen Robert Royal make an incredible catch but his body is all twisted and off balance so he cannot run withit afterwards. No one respects Brunells arm so welcome to eight men in a box....yep our worst nightmare last years O has returned.
