And why not, it's a sound arguement. It's too bad I completely agree with you about this game, and was just presenting the opposing viewpoint.
Except in the last point. Do I THINK Brunell will win out this season? Absolutely not. It falls in the improbable category. But you are too easily swayed. Nothing happened in this game that surprised me. Brunell has shitty games every once in awhile. The Eagles REALLY had something to prove, and really we were just a victim of that. They were by far the better team, but we knew that going in.
No, he hasn't done anything to demoralize the fans. The TEAM has. If we were 6 and 2 and Phili had just beat the daylights out of us to drop us to 6-3 and Brunell had this kind of day, we would just move on. Like we should now. It was a massacre. Let's get ready for Tampa Bay.
After all, what's the penalty for playing to win the game when you still have a chance?

well i appreciate the civility but you've completely lost me now Tripp, this was my response to your first take on the game. you didn't start that excuse emporium by saying you were just being a devil's advocate.
expecting to lose and all that - i'll never be down for that argument, not as a fan and not even as an objective observer. you expected -4 pts with an offense that has Moss, Lloyd, Randle, Cooley and Portis and a healthy starting O-Line? sorry not buying it, not even close. just because you refuse to see the weak link here on the forums doesn't mean you don't know what it really is in your heart of hearts. even if those checkdowns you harp on were money, does that speak well of Brunell? if Betts is traded next season like has been proposed, then this 'efficient offense' you constantly defend will really be a shambles.
i never thought i'd hear rain, or the "shitty game allowance" excuse come from you, i expected some cold hard numbers. of course there won't be many for today, but please feel free to use the season's numbers, because that's what we're all talking about anyway. ask any 10 fans if they haven't been demoralized by Brunell all year, and you'll get at least 8 who'll tell what i'm telling you. the majority of the offensive yards this season are from Brunell to Betts, two players that shouldn't be on our team next year.
