Everytime I hear about a completions streak I think of Brunell dinking and dunking for like 103 straight completions against Houston

Yeah and some other crappy QB tied that same record in the same – remember the amazing David Carr

Best OF in baseball - Markakis, Jones, Reimold, and Scott

I think we won that game

I’m still happy. Heck, I think Jason even had a point when he said that sometimes it was better to play smart and not take a turnover and rely on the defense (and people ripped him for being honest). Heck, I think Donovan even had a point with the same thing.

Bottom line, Rex was in the low 70s QB rating. Mark was better, Jason, was better, Donavan was better.

Think we really screwed the pooch by letting Jason walk. Not since he is great. He’s not! But because we could have used those picks for other things. AND Jason would have sucked it up and did WHATEVER the coach wanted (and probably pretty well suited to the Kyle offence in terms of body type). Not like Donavon who had to tools but refused to adapt his game.

And the damned 3-4 is finally working, but has been a huge waste of resources (e.g. Carter) and cost us at least a whole season where we might have been competitive and gotten into the playoffs.
