Southpaw - you should be eating crow right now. I'm not saying we are the best team in the NFL, but that man BRUNELL deserves a pat on the back, and we ARE Redskins fans, which means we should be the ones doing the patting. It's not unrelenting optimism; it is positive thinking and faith in Gibbs. It might take a while, but he WILL make this team a SB team. All this bashing is wasted energy. When they lose, it is not a good feeling, but when they WIN we should all be happy and give the boys the respect they deserve.

As I've already said, I'll happily eat crow when Brunell proves that a good game against the 32nd ranked defense in the league was not a fluke. If he can look anywhere close to that level in the next two weeks, I'll be first in line. And I'm more than willing to pat him on the back for the record, because that is impressive, no matter who accomplished it.

And you use the word "bashing" a bit too freely. The majority of us are not bashing, but questioning. Most logical thinking people will look at all the facts in a given situation before jumping to a conclusion. The facts in the Brunell situation don't point to the conclusion that Brunell has been magically renewed, and has found the fountain of youth. All I'm looking for is a little more proof that yesterday wasn't a fluke. If we were all just here to circle jerk the Redskins, it'd be a pretty boring forum.

Ha! I guess you got me on the score. Serve up the crow. I just hope you're still an active member when Gibbs is gone in one or two seasons for your plate of crow for this one:
