Time for Brunell to sit..
 

The guy just isn't getting it done.. 83 yards passing? That pick by Deion hung up so long there anyone could have made a play on that.. Let Ramsey get in there and see what he can do.. It's just brutal watching the offense with Brunell.. The defense knows he's not a threat to do anything with the ball.. :banghead:

Amen! I have had enough of Brunell, he flat out stinks. Thank goodness that Theisman and McGuire were calling Brunell out for his shoddy foot-work.


To do a variation of popular saying a couple of elections ago, "It's Brunnell, stupid!"

Unfortunately this is Gibbs' hand picked boy, so we are going to have to suffer with this horrible play all season. A damn shame when one thinks of how well the defense has played this season.

Of course all of the Brunell backers will try to put the blame on the Special teams.

yeah seeing culpepper, bulger, and hasselbeck (etc) zipping passes in there and then brunell suckin it up kinda makes me sick. how nice would it have been to have kurt warner?

the d did look damn good tonight,until the end when they were just to tired becouse brunell and co. cant get the ball across the 50 yard line

You ever watch the Redskins play in the 80's? You think Gibbs won't set Brunell down...haha! Riiigghhhhtttt.

Ramsey "Put me in Coach"
 

Please I'm ready to play today! Brunell regardless of whether or not he is in a funk or what have you. The man as nice as he is and the many wonderful years he had as the starting quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars is not playing well. Week after week when we need a difference maker he leads us in the wrong direction. Gibbs and his staff are wonderful, they just have to realize that Brunell has had plenty of chances to prove himself and has not come through, I cannot even watch him play right now. Let him sit on the bench and play the role of Player/Coach to an up and comer with great potential!

mmmkay but has Portis played up to his potential? How many fumbles??? How many yards did he rush for tonight? What about the offensive line??

Brunell needs to sit. He has lost fumbles for touchdowns that cost us two games this year (when you consider that they were momentum turning events). It's not even a question, he has not helped us win and he's cost us two games. Give PR a shot, we at least have a spark when he's in there. BTW, I don't want to hear about the 3 interceptions versus the Giants. The kid was obviously pressing due to the fact that we were trying to climb out of the hole we were in. That is the time to take gambles and subsequently bad things can happen. I am so dissappointed this year, I thought we were going to be better... Maybe we can finish .500? That would be a good thing after this beginning...

skinsguy - Portis has made mistakes, no doubt. He also shows potential. We don't have a backup comparable to Ramsey at the RB position. Brunell has been absolutely horrible and I'm sick of watching it. I keep thinking the defense is going to have to score. Our O line needs to open some holes, we need to give Portis his kind of game, and we need Ramsey to throw it deep down field.

Brunell is done!!! End of story. They'll continue to play him and we'll continue to suck because of his huge contract. I know it upsets all the Brunell faithful but doesn't it seem like Joe is giving him way too much credit? And how about a post game interview where he doesn't say "the team did this and the team did that" and rather he just says "you know, i threw for 80 some yards and that sucks. Guys who entered the league THIS YEAR are doing better than me. Maybe I need to get my S**t together."

Another vote for RAMSEY!

I didn't hear that quote, but if he said it, I respect that, at least he holds himself accountable, that's brutally honest, how many player's would try to disperse the blame on other's as well? Now let's get Ramsey in there! :laughing-

new roster, new staff, new system... even with that, its still pretty bad... i'd give ramsey a full week of practice with the 1st string and give him a full game to prove himself and see how it works out, cause right now it looks like we're 3 games out of a possible wild card spot and we're going only going to get farther behind...

the biggest problem i've had is that there hasn't really been much progress... less fumbled snaps and turnovers, less penalties... but the total crap passing game and trying to play not to lose has shown up one too many quarters for me...

this one hurt like the browns, we lost it cause WE couldn't get it done... it sucks seeing us 7 points behind and feeling like it'd take a miracle to overcome it... not once did we get 2 first downs on a possession, we didn't move the ball AT ALL... one deep shot that i can remember and it was horribly off again :(

OFFISS:
Unfortunately, it was just the first stuff about the team failing to do this and that that Brunell said. The second bit is what I hoped he would say. I wish he would take personal accounatbility and say that HE needs to say something about how HE is not getting stuff done. Every week Portis and Coles talk about their failures and their need to lead this team. I wish Brunell as the head of the offense would say something like that too.

i don't like how calm brunell is about losing... he doesn't seemed pissed off at all or really all that concerned :(

I'm pretty positive I've heard Brunell hold himself accountable several times this season

[URL=http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=3808]Q & A with Brunell[/URL]

Q: How much of the offensive inconsistency do you take on yourself?
A: "All of it. It goes with the position. I certainly can play better. But it all starts with the guy behind center."

Smootsmack: It's still a cop out. He's not saying "I really suck right now and a 22 year old out of Miami of Ohio is kicking my ass" he just keeps going with the cliches. Let me see some of that intensity that made him what he was five years ago. I'm not asking for Brett Favre, Trent Dilfer during the SB year is about it. Get the ball where it needs to go, don't turn it over and allow the D to keep you in.

I don't see the Brunell of the past when I look at him with this team, but what this team hasn't done offensively is embarrasing as a whole. There is not one player on the offense that is confident or motivated to make big plays and it's as clear as day. Look around the NFL and you will see at least one player on an offense who gets into the game and the coaches have to cool him down. Not this offense. They need some shock treatment because they lack intensity.

The one dimensional running game we have seen week end and week out with Portis in the backfield and Betts and a missing Cartwright is pathetic. Every RB needs a substitute to come in and we have not had this consistently from the start. This offense was suppose to revolve around the running game and that's why were 1-4 and the Giants are 4-1.

Last year allover again it just started earlier this year.

Re: Time for Brunell to sit..
 

Uh...that was 2 years ago. Same story though, anyone else see a pattern here?

For the sake of sanity and some sense of "cleanness" on the board, I'm going to lock this thread.
