Re: Skins 20 Jets 17: who gets your game ball?
 

you mean 23-20?

Re: Skins 20 Jets 17: who gets your game ball?
 

No bout a doubt it: Clinton Portis.

If the guy get's 25 carries a game, our chances of winning go way up.

Re: Skins 20 Jets 17: who gets your game ball?
 

Portis.

Way to run the ball today. Our team had over 200 yards on the ground and Portis had over 100. Who knows where we would've been without the run game today.

Re: Skins 20 Jets 17: who gets your game ball?
 

Portis is my easy choice, with Suisham 2nd.

Portis is officially off the schnide with his effort today. 36 rushes, 196 yards and a TD. Nice job CP and the big fatties up front.

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

No doubt, Portis.

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

Even though Suisham cost us anywhere between 2-3 points with short kickoffs, he gets my gameball.

I picked the score to be Jets 20, Skins 17. The only difference between that and the final is that Suisham hit all four of his field goals in regulation, none of them under 40, and forced overtime in a stadium that is historically rough on kickers (see: Nugent's miss to end the first half).

Oh yeah, he also kicked the game winner as straight as possible.

This one's easy.

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

Yeah Portis....easily....we don't win this game today without him running like he did today no doubt!!!

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

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

Isn't that what any back does?

196 yards is a damn good day no matter what way you spin it.

[quote=Mattyk72;373640]Isn't that what any back does?

196 yards is a damn good day no matter what way you spin it.[/quote]Yeah. And I obviously have no flaws with the way Portis ran today, as evidenced by his yardage total. Today he ran like an NFL capable runner, and I was relieved. He even broke a few tackles.

To me though, doing the job given the condidtions doesn't always land you the game ball. Doing something somewhat exceptional (like Suisham did) does.

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

My point is, I [I]would[/I] have rewarded the line for just opening up crazy big gaps all day, but I can't ignore the fact that blitz pickup was non existant.

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

I dunno, I think 196 yards is an exceptional day.

I think we can both agree the running game was huge today.

I didn't think the pass pro was all that bad, it's certainly been worse in recent weeks.

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

If Portis keeps it up, we should be in for a fun rest of the season...

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

Man on the day Portis finally breaks out....I'm going to go with Suisham as well, honestly. He made some tough kicks in a tough stadium....Its really close though, because Clinton Portis looked as good today as he has at any point in a Skins Uniform (save maybe the 5 game stretch in 05).

Great job for both of them and from Landry. Cooley was once again very solid, abeit unspectacular...but I'd rather have a guy like Cooley who busts his ass ever week and put up "good" numbers, than people be a flash in the pan for a game and not be seen the rest of the year.

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

Suisham he was money today 5/5 and I think all but one was over 40 yards.(I could be wrong) Portis finally got things going but since our offense still struggles Im glad we have a kicker we can rely on. Good game Suisham!

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

Can we put the Jets WRs as an option (JK)? They dropped quite a few balls that hit them in the hands. I think that WRs are starting to hear landry's footsteps

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

Clinton Portis had his first real game this season, we should be thankful he did, or we'd have lost to a 1-7 team. He seems to be a streaky player, and I hope we will be seeing more of this.

His kicks were: 46, 40, 40, 22 and 46 yards just for those who want to know.

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

Portis had a great day I upset that it was so close!!!

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

ME for getting us to change clothes at Half Time.
Geeze

lol

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

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[

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

I'd say offensive line but since that's not an option I'll go with my close second choice of Portis. It was awesome as hell to finally see the Portis of old showing some flashes hitting the creases or bursting into that next gear around the corner. Kendell is looking more and more a steal every game especially when they use him on the sweeps and counters.

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

Gotta go with Landry simply because I think after he hit their QB a couple times the throws became more rushed. Also, everytime a wr was in the secondary he had an eye out for #30 and #21 and I think it contributed to a lot of their drops and alligator hands.
Other than that, 4-4 from beyond 40 in NJ is a hell of a game.

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

This one is a no brainer, it's Portis. Without the running game doing so well, we would have easily lost.

Suisham did well with his kicks, but if not for Portis, we would not have been in FG territory. Portis picked the perfect day to get hot.

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

Nice to see CP have a great day at the office.......but my gamer goes to the man that put it through the uprights from 46 to WIN the game for us, and was clutch all day.......Suisham! FINE JOB.

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

Portis, without a doubt. One of the best performances by an RB in franchise history (5th best?).

This, after all the shit he's been taking, being hurt, over-the-hill, not in shape, not Gibbs kind of back, etc., etc. Carried the O today. Of course, without the line play, and a few nice conversions by Campbell, he doesn't get all that, but the rock was in his hands, and he responded.

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

Has to be Suisham. with out him you have a 20-8 loss period. Ties a franchise record for FG in a game none were gimmies either. Hats off to CP but S squared gets the game ball

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

3 way tie!
Portis, Suisham and Landry. Honorable mention for Brandon Lloyd for missing a team meeting and therefore not travelling with the team. ( I bet Lloyd will be outta football in 2 years)... I voted for Landry cause he created the urgency by the Jets. Seemed to move them into panic mode even as the Skins relied on 5 FG's to defeat the flailing 1-8 Jets. 196 rushing yards by Ports impressive. More impressive was the ability of the ragtag Oline to make it happen! Suisham is money (knockonsomething!)

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

I loved watching CP run like that. I wanted to pick the O-line (if available), but most of CP's big gains were to the outside if I remember correctly. But another tough win, and I'll take it.

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

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.

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.
