Re: Take 70Chip's Mark Brunell Rorshock Test

I'm a #2 bordering on #1 and I can't understand where GTripp is coming from. Bottom line guys, we scored 3 freaking points... 3! And talk to the hand if you're going to say we could have had six if Novak made that 47 yd FG... why should we have to rely on ANY placekicker to make 45+ yd FGs for our offense to score all the time? We should be scoring TDs. Period. We're back to the 2004 offense that had no vertical element and could not stretch the defense. As long as Brunell is QB look for defenses to 1) load up the box and 2) blitz on a passing downs because everyone in the NFL knows Brunell can't go downfield effectively. Can Campbell give us a better chance to win? I don't know, because I haven't really had a chance to see what he can do. I DO know that Brunell is not giving us a chance to win anymore.

Numero uno. I would trade next years second third and fourth round picks for him to go away. Oh wait we can't do that. The man has had a very good career, but he has done some serious damage to this team IMO and he has made Gibbs look a little nuts.

i'm in the #2 camp as of now. I know there are a lot of problems on this team, but Brunell is one problem that can be fixed. I know Campbell probably isn't gonna do any better then Brunell, but he needs the practice for next season.

I'm just tired of all these Brunell threads. And the same tired arguments over and over and over again. Both for and against.

I just wanted to find out where people were after the game today. I didn't mean for it to be a debate. But, I guess it's unavoidable.

Sorry, I didn't mean for it to come across as putting the blame on you. I have no problem with your thread. I just get tired of all the "analysis" and more so the assumptions.

1.9

This should be made into a poll so we can have the official Warpath Stance. We will just average out the votes after a few days.

I was just about to suggest a poll. We should have the options of being inbetween the numbers as well.

Do it Matty!

Emotion certainly plays a part, but the thing about the NFL is each week is a new week, and a close loss isn't going to help morale any more than a blowout. I think a win this week would have been wishful thinking and required a great deal of luck, something the Eagles certainly haven't been short on. What more can you say when a jarring hit on a 3rd and long play ends up creating a touchdown? ST did miss the tackle, but you eventually need things to break your way. Outside of the blocked FG against Dallas, this season has been lack of luck piled upon poor calls, upon bad defense. I had the Eagles winning this game preseason, and I was prepared to deal with a team coming off three losses following their bye week. They weren't going to lose. It's unfortuante we got them when we did. The Dawkins knockdown on the Randle El pass was my point in a nutshell. Would have been our play of the season if we had made it.

So with all that said, my season outlook hasn't changed from this morning to now. We are still a longshot to make the playoffs. Were this morning, are now.

My point here is subjective and cannot be completely backed by numbers...so either you have an open ear or you don't...no skin off my back.

Today, Brunell was ONE of our weak links. I don't think a road game at Phili should take away from what he's done simply because of some carried over frusteration.

I am with the rest of you when you say Campbell should get ready to play. But not NEXT week. That is all. The offense should be just as efficient under Campbell next season. He has a great statistical projection to the NFL. But performance in first start can not possibly ever be projected. If he doesn't ever get to play this season, we will probably be in the same boat as if he started the final 9 games and went 2-5.

There is NO rush with Jason Campbell. The #1 assumed opinion on this board is that Campbell has to play sometime this season or we sacrifice next year. It's wrong. Regardless of whether Campbell plays or not, we still have the offseason. He's not "going to develop a rhythym" that he keeps over 8 months.


whoa. all this 'Luck' talk and a Randle El pass as the sole potential highlight coming from our in-house Brunell defender/statistician. who'dathunkit.

no worries Tripp, you've heard our subjective, observational 'baseless' statements all season, we'll hear yours. welcome to the club.

and why would you assume people expected a closer loss? some of us actually expected a win, as improbable as it may have been. its why we watched the game.

It serves absolutely no purpose to continue playing MB. I am on the fence between 1 and 2 now.

Re: Take 70Chip's Mark Brunell Rorshock Test

If I had to choose I guess I'm in the #2 category.

A few weeks ago I was probably #3.

#1 is just ridiculous and anyone that considers themselves to be a #1 has no clue and is beyond repair as a Redskins fan.

Matty. You need to stop defending Brunell. Did you watch the game yesterday? How can you continue to defend him? That was pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. The guy is hurt and cannot get the job done more than 1 out of 3 games. Bottom line. No ifs ands or buts.

We would be at least .500 with a mediocre QB. We would have beaten Minnesota and the Titans.

We have a ton of problems on defense but I only see one on offense.
