Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)

The QB is a lightening rod for criticism; however, right now he is not the underlying problem. In fact - without his field savy in getting rid of the ball without a lot of turnovers, the score would have been worse.

Excuses don't count ... play better!

Currently we are performing poorly.

One problem begets another. The offensive line woes are largely due to Brunell's inefficiencies. The line can only do so much when your offense is as predictable as ours.

Really?

So Samuels getting beat around the corner is due to MB?

Jansen flinching on false starts is due to MB?

I'm not letting MB off the hook completely, but there were several occassions last night where it was an absolute jail break on the pass rush.

Partly. If you can't make quick decisions then it is due to MB. I personally think it sucks that he has no gas left... I liked the guy.

There was a jail break all day on Eli Manning too, especially on that last blitz the Eagles threw at him before he got the ball to Plaxico. Did he lose his composure? Don't think so! Needless to say, you know what the end result was in that game! Mark Brunell is done! And as long as he continues to start, we will continue to lose! (Exception: Houston Texans) But if we lose that game too then everything we have been saying about Mark Brunell will have been validated.
