Re: It's not Brunell's fault!

I remember at one point in the first half Brunell was 10 of 15 with ?? yards. Then they gave the sacks/hurries numbers. There were 10 hurries. That means, in spite of all the dump-offs, he only had 5 unpressured passes. So can you try to go downfield if your OLine is so weak that you get pressured doing just short dump-offs? My feeling is that Saunders doesn't call the downfield plays because he doesn't trust the OLine to hold up long enough. And remember all those holding penalties? There's a lot more of them when the line has to pass protect for more time.

As far as pulling Brunell, I don't see it until we're (practically) mathematically eliminated. As it currently stands:
Philly: we have 2 more losses and we play them twice
Dallas and NY: After tomorrow, we will be 2 losses behind one and 3 behind the other, with one home game against each.
So we're not exactly out of it yet. But if we continue to play the way we have been...
