Game ball: Skins vs. Eagles

[Hijinx]

I can't pick Brunell, he gave up what could have been a game changing fumble. Once again we were in the red zone and we got no points. Plus I think only giving up 10 points to the Eagles clearly points some good defensive playing. Holding Westbrook to 24yrds was huge for the Skins.
Frankly this win really came as part of a team effort. Cooley and Moss had good receiving numbers. Portis had that TD saving tackle, Dockery's and Prioleuo's fumble recoveries, Sellers' second effort in getting both the TD and first downs. Yeah I have to say it was truly a team win.

Other: Total team effort. Hard to pick one guy. Great win!

[Luxorreb]

I gave mine to other(the entire team) as well.
Great team effort to send the media into a Eagles tailspin, love it!

I say Sellers for surprising me with HUGE offensive plays. Who knew?

The Game Ball goes to......
The Defense. Great performance for the whole game. Arrington was disruptive force, Daniels was a revelation and kept McNabb hemmed in and harassed, your secondary was solid.

The Offense wasn't as good. Those turnovers will come back to haunt you. Cooley, Thrash, need to hold on to the ball.

Nice Game.

team effort, portis, then the D...

portis was bashing DLinemen like kearse right in their faces the entire night, and he even popped in to do what he does for me in madden... safety blanket for fumble recoveries and takedowns (its good to have a speed back). The running game wasn't amazing, but overall he definately deserved to be on that field.

Of what was listed I picked...Koooooooooooooooooooo-ley!

My pick would be Home Turf.

Some of my general thoughts:

Brunell just continues to amaze me, I think the phrase that a QB can make all the throws is a little over used but with him it's definitely appropriate. He has amazing touch.

Portis didn't have the numbers but it was nice to finally see them point out what he does away from the ball, ESPN does such a great job at covering games I'm really looking forward to them taking over MNF.

Cooley and Moss are a nice one-two punch. It's obvious Patten isn't going to become that solid #2, so Cooley is it. Was anyone else ticked at Patten for not dragging his feet on that one catch? He's a vet, he should have known better. Perhaps it's time to give Jacobs some more playing time?

Nice to see us working Sellers in to the mix more. The guy is a load in the open field, did you guys see him bowl over Dawkins?! I can't wait to see that play in the highlights.

The tackling and discipline of the defense was much improved but they're still not playing as well as they should. Some props has to go to our makeshift defensive line for doing a great job against the run.

It's great to see Arrington working himself back to the Pro Bowl caliber LB we all know and love.

Thumbs down on Portis and Taylor for their ugly-ass socks.

Doc for hustle. Portis for hustle/ picking up the blitz.

When you hustle every play your get your share of fumbles, breaks and big plays.

Nice post Matty.

I got a little nervous at the end of the game when coach Gibbs just ran it and didn’t really commit to getting a first down and we gave the ball back to philly with about 3 minutes left. That was nail biting time.

With all due respect Matty - Portis' TD-saving tackle that changed the whole outcome of the game should be included up there somewhere (as stated earlier).

AND - I disagree about the socks! I think it's halarious! And it makes them easier to find on the field. As long as they don't mind the fine, and Gibbs obviously doesn't care, then I don't either.

Thrash owes Prioleau a big steak dinner.
Colley owes Dockery a big steak dinner.

It's rare but things went our way last night.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I don't think Dockery will accept a big steak dinner. MULTIPLE steak dinner will be more to his liking (Isn't he the huge eater of the group?).

[saden1]

Ryan Clark for sealing the deal!

Team effort: Brunell, Like Theisman said: "he's the whole package", and continues to amaze. Portis-decent running game, for all the grass stains on his uniform, blocking, dude is a warrior. Mike Sellers-needs to see more action. Nice to see a ball carrier drop his helmet, knocking tacklers on their ASS. D-line, for hanging tough and getting some pressure on Donavon, and knocking him on his ASS for that BS spike fake attempt (we usually bite on that type of thing).
It wasn't perfect but it is an effort to be proud of as successful teams, even when they don't play great find a way to WIN-GO REDSKINS
