Skins 23 Jets 20: who gets your game ball?

[jsarno]

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.

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.

[JWsleep]

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.

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

[Luxorreb]

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!)

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.

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

[vaoutlaws2006]

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.

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

That first kickoff was directional by design...that was coaching and poor coverage....actually the kick was perfect....yes...a couple other were shorter but had good hang time....one was a touchback which is very rare these days for any team....It is nice to know he has that sort of power.

[Cowell]

I'm giving the ball to Portis. I mean how can anyone not give the ball to Portis when the man accounted for most of our offense. Yes, Suisham was great but with almost 200 yards on the ground you have to give Portis the game ball.

[Beemnseven]

Without Suisham, we score 8 points.

Game Ball -- Suisham. End of story.

[skinsnut]

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!

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.

[AlvinWalton'sNeckBrace]

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