Portis ran great but only hit paydirt once. SS did it when needed. He hit the game winner, he get sthe game ball.

Re: Skins 23 Jets 20: who gets your game ball?
 

the 196 yds by portis is certainly a great effort in anyone's book but the game ball has to go to the kicker...suisham without him i think we maybe discussing a loss.

Re: Skins 23 Jets 20: who gets your game ball?
 

I gotta go with Swishy guys....he misses any one of 5, like statistically he should have and we lose....plain and simple.

Bottom line, Gibbs has confidence in Swishy.....look at his last coaching decision. That should tell you something.....and you know what....he was right!

I really think this guy is a keeper.
I didn't buy into all this slump junk a couple weeks back...this guy has won a few games for us single-handedly this year.
He deserves some serious Props!

Re: Skins 23 Jets 20: who gets your game ball?
 

You know who might not get the game ball but who played GREAT nonetheless was Smoot! Sure, he isn't the great tackler that Rogers is, but I think he covers just as well, if not better.

Re: Skins 23 Jets 20: who gets your game ball?
 

Its gotta go to Suisham...haven't had a kicker with that kind of performance since Mosely.

Re: Skins 23 Jets 20: who gets your game ball?
 

I was at the game and you could see landry and taylor had the biggest impact on the game. Landry's hits though some were costly set fear in clemons eyes while taylor did the same for the wide receivers and in the second half and overtime thats what paid off. Suishams kicks were money, but without some key drops and errant throw from clemons, he never would have gotten the oppertunity.

[QUOTE=GTripp0012;373637]Obviously the running game had the biggest effect on the win, and Portis certainly broke some big important runs, but [B]I can't give the game ball to him or his line[/B] because the line was horrible in protection and Portis simply ran (well) with the holes his line created.[/QUOTE]

Portis gets my vote hands down. Nice comeback to hopefully quiet his critics. The guy is a workhorse, he never gives up, and he just has a heart for the game. He throws his body into it with reckless abandon (remember the pre-season game last year when he got hurt? he wasn't gonna let [I][U]anybody[/U][/I] return that interception for a TD regardless of whether or not it was a pre-season game). I would also give a game ball to the left side of the O-line. They were money. 26 times they opened up holes for CP to dash through. Hold the comments about how bad the Jets D-line may have been, fact is our O-line on the left side exploited them and did what was needed.

I think the Jet's WRs were hearing footsteps all day. They had a few bad drops and guys pulling up in their routes.

It was nice to see Portis have one of those FU days to silence the critics.

He said he was ready to carry the team and he delivered. I say saddle him up and let's ride him all the way to the playoffs like in 2005.

I also noticed a lot more inside runs and less of the outside zone stuff that he doesn't like. Nice to see we're finally running plays he wants, but the question is why did it take so long??

Re: Skins 23 Jets 20: who gets your game ball?
 

Clinton Portis. 36 carries, 196 yards, 1 TD. A stat line we will hopefully get used to over the next several weeks.

Re: Skins 23 Jets 20: who gets your game ball?
 

This was a tough vote. Portis got the nod for me, with his break out game. Suisham had an outstanding game and was more than worthy of a game ball. LaRon Landry was a beast and had a great game, worthy of note.

Also if he doesnt kick the ball so damn short on the opening kickoff we are discussing a 7-10 pint win

Re: Skins 23 Jets 20: who gets your game ball?
 

Suisham gets an assist, but he would not even have been on the field five times if CP hadn't put ther team in FG position.

Re: Skins 23 Jets 20: who gets your game ball?
 

Clinton Portis showed that he has alot left in the tank. But come next week we will have people talking about Steve Slaton and Ray Rice again. Portis should have been getting the ball 25-30 times a game before today and I think hooskins said it in an earlier thread, Portis gets stronger as the game goes on which is a cliche' but it is very true.

Re: Skins 23 Jets 20: who gets your game ball?
 

[quote=rk3025;373726]Portis has to get it
If Suisham had a leg he would have kicked it behind the goaline and we win in regulation without 7 point from kickoff return[/quote]


That's ridiculous. You could also say if the other 10 guys on the field had been able to make a tackle on that play, we would've won in regulation.

I voted for Portis.
