Brunell is all class and tough as nails...but now we have to say goodbye

I didn't hear this but a friend of mine said Collins was warming up in the 4th quarter and would have come in if we had gotten the ball back. He heard this on Redskins Radio. Did anyone else hear this?

I was elk hunting so I did not watch the game. But yeah if you watch the Gibbs post game, he answers a question(I believe) about Collins warming up.

If Collins starts then Lord help us. There would just be absolutely no good reason to start the guy UNLESS the coaches think that Campbell isn't up to it. This is the absolutely worst case scenario.

btw, good call on the elk hunting instead of watching the pitiful skins effort...

Gibbs said that in his postgame presser

And what the fuck is up with that? Is that to make sure BRUNELL didn't get hurt?!

Yeah, I don't really care at all that Brunell is a nice guy. Patrick Ramsey was a nice guy and people on this board hated on him constantly. Brunell says "all the right things"...okay. Now all he has to do is win football games and he'll be the quarterback I want leading the team. I agree with Offiss, who cares what he says? Win f*ckin games!

I don't see what's so difficult for the homers and haters????? you add to the quality of the team or you don't. Ramsey never had it, Brunell has ceased to.

Like it or not, Joe Gibbs' blind allegiance to Mark Brunell is the single-biggest reason he has a losing record during his second stint as head coach. After Gibbs leaves the game for good (a sad day all around), it will be written that tying his fate to Brunell doomed the great coach's return.

So our shotty pass protection, inconsistent running game, shotty secondary coverage, and poor tackling on defense has nothing to do with why we're losing?

Yes, all those things contribute to the problem. If, however, we had a playmaker at QB, we would have been better off.

If you're satisfied with Brunell's play, that's fine. I'm not.

Never said I was satisfied and I'm NOT satisfied with Mark Brunell, unless we were 6-3 right now. Having a playmaker at QB would certainly give us a chance to score some more points, but we're not exactly losing by a point or two this season.

The defense is weak this year. The defense was incredible in 2004 (6-10) and solid last year (10-6). So Joe was .500 with two very good defenses. What is the variable? His handpicked QB.

Now that the defense is shit, we are a losing team. I think it would be a major accomplishment if we win 5 games this year.

Not necessarily so. His first year here, there were new players on the offense having to learn a new system. First year for Portis and Brunell...and our best OL at the time, Jansen out for the entire season! Last year Santana Moss comes in and was basically the only goto guy who was a deep threat for us toward the end of the season. Brunell played hurt that first season and Ramsey played scared. It's not black and white.
