Title: Brees or Brunnell
Post by Chumpzilla on Dec 30^th, 2005, 8:21pm

Washington is in a "must win" situation and I am seeing Brunnell will start. Therefore, I am leaning at starting him. I'm also afraid Brees gets pulled so SD can showcase Rivers. Thoughts?

Who would you start??

Close call, for sure,... but I am with the Rick... Stay with Brunell. I think a) they have the slightly better matchup, b) unless Brunell gets reinjured, he ain't comin' out, whereas, Brees could, and c) they are playing for it all for all intents and purposes; this is a playoff game for them. Good luck! [smiley=shamrock.gif]

Just another thought. If you could [smiley=crystalball.gif] and you knew the Redskins would make the play-offs (which they probably will), would you rather have Brunell's start in their first play-off game or keep his start in week 17? 8-)

That's a real toss-up. I'd probably go list the wild-card game as my first option and week 17 as my second. As long as he doesn't get hurt this week, which, of course, nobody knows, he should be in better shape next week after another week down.

You're just lucky I had A TON of work coming at me from ALL different directions over the past 48 or so hours, part-time job, school stuff I want to get ahead on, walking my mom through something technical over the phone, "the Gridiron", etc., etc., which kept me awake to"night" until 4:30 a.m. And, I still have to get my damn lineup in... [smiley=sleepers.gif] ... :-/ Anyway, you're welcome. :)
