Brunell is shot. He has been for years. Even this year, when Skins fans are talking about his rejuvinated look in preseason, he managed an 85 QB rating. Did he even start a game? I don't think so, I think he compiled his whopping 85 rating in preseason playing against second and third stringers. Tony Romo put up a 93 rating against opposition of similar quality. We will abuse Brunell, he will look like the shell of a QB that he's been over the past few years, and we will crush the Skins. Unless we turn the ball over 5 or 6 times we'll win handily. If we are even in the turnover battle we should win by 14 pts.
The Skins barely beat the Bears. They couldn't score a TD against Chicago. They 'held' a rookie QB who was third on the depth chart two weeks ago to one TD with their super D. The fact that they barely eeked out a win against a team like the Bears, at home, shows exactly how far they've fallen. Against that Bears team Brunell managed a whopping 5 yards per attempt, with a pitiful 70 QB rating.
The Skins are in disarray, from the top of the organization to the bottom. Starting Brunell is just the last desperation move of a man who knows he and his team are one more dunk away from drowning. Gibbs will be gone by the end of the year and he'll take Brunell with him.
