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.

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.
