TQBR ratings are out for this week's qb's that have played so far. Guess who had the highest rating in the NFCE? Honestly I didn't think his rating would've been that high, considering the sacks and the fumble, but I'll take it. There's a nice little breakdown in that post.[/quote]

75 or higher is MVP!!!!!

I think it speaks volumes about how far our locker room has come. How do you think CP would feel about forgoing a day off? London Fletcher is without a doubt one of my favorite all-time Redskins.

I think it's great that they're getting in there today and getting a jump on film study.

I love the fact that they don't feel like resting on their laurels, but want to get better. I honestly feel sorry for Arizona because this Redskins team is fully focused.

That Arizona team did not look very good against a poor Carolina team. If a rookie can throw for 400+ yards on the road in his first ever NFL game, we should be able to move the ball on them.

I know. Rexy should be licking his chops.

Re: Victory Monday
 

I don't get why the Giants are complaining about injuries. They had Piere-Paul, Mathias, and Canty up front. They also had Rolle and Phillips playing safety. Michael Boley was there. Rocky Bernard.

The dropoff from Tuck and Osi isn't really that much with the two guys that played yesterday. In fact I'm pretty sure they only really missed Tuck not Osi. And we can match that loss with Landry not playing. Granted missing two starting corners stinks but like I said they still had two quality safeties and Aaron Ross is a first round corner.

Also lets not forget that Javaris Jenkins is out for the year and we had to settle for Golston on many plays.

Plus Hightower is going to be jacked up to face his old team.

I'm all for Hightower getting 20+ carries but I'm not sure about him having to play 50+ snaps. By my count he may have played as many as 59 and there were situations where Torain's power could have been useful against a stacked boxed. I guess they really think the world of Hightower's pass blocking.


[quote=SirClintonPortis;834988]75 or higher is MVP!!!!![/quote]

And it only took him one week to throw 2 TD passes. Compare that to a certain QB that waited until Week 10's Monday Night Beatdown to throw 2 TD passes then waited till week 14 to do it again.

Tim Hightower just guranteed a win over the Cards Sunday. He's plenty stoked and not hiding it.

I see signs of a team beginning to believe in themselves. An infusion of youth coupled with the opportunity to contribute can be contagious.

I was hoping to see Helu for more than one carry. There were situations in the game where I thought his speed burst could have been beneficial, but I'm not questioning the coaches...Hightower is a #1 RB. He's never had the role all to his own before and he's proving the Cards mis-used him, or underestimated him.

Re: Victory Monday
 

Holy shit, Lavar and Dukes giving the Skins mad props today. Even said they were wrong with their views on McNabb (seeing how he shit it up yesterday) and Rex lit it up.

Facts are facts the Giants played with a depleted team yesterday not an excuse just a fact, alot of young back ups and rookies but still pros and in fact I was impressed by alot of the younger guys ....they didn't do bad. The lack of an off season has hurt Eli,the Giants O will come around but in my opinion in about 3 weeks.Oh and 1 more thing....serously the interception was more a Great play by Kerrigan(sp) then a bad play by Eli,had the tackle done his job the passing lane should have been open.Remember it's not where you start it's where you finish.

Ok hold up. The Skins were [I]supposed[/I] to beat the Giants? Um, no. We hadn't beaten you guys for like 4 years. You have owned us more recently than any other team has. Even with your injuries on defense, no way no how were we [I]supposed [/I]to beat the Giants.

And speaking of those injuries, all the major players you were missing were on the defensive side of the ball. Your offense still had Manning, Bradshaw, Jacobs, Nicks, Manningham, etc, and was playing against our D who has several brand new starters and was without arguably our best defender in Landry. And we shut you guys down.

You say no offseason hurt Eli? What about us? We've got tons of new players on both sides of the ball. We managed ok.

You got manhandled. You can rationalize it anyway you'd like if it makes you feel better, but we kicked your backside. Hard.

Giantone,

I'll give credit where it's due, I don't think your a blind fan running your mouth all the time which is why I respect what you have to say. Also props for showing up, usually opposing team fans don't. But I will say the Skins were not favored in this game from everyone. Everyone had this game going to the Giants. It doesn't matter who was injured the Giants were supposed to win. Call it what everyone wants, a steal or whatever but it was a win. For me the Skins just need to split the division and win some of the other games. But if they beat a division rival twice will just be icing on the cake.

McNabb was hot for a very small streak in the first half and he did scramble for some positive plays.

For last 5 minutes or so of the fourth quarter, Sanchez was just really, really bad. Now, I haven't watched the whole Jets-Cowboys game, though.

Giantone, I will give you credit for showing up and taking your medicine. Real fans do that. At least you didn't bail on the game early, like the 4 Giants fans I sat next to at Fedex yesterday who bailed when Sexy Rexy put the Skins up 14. Good game.

Monkeydad, despite the stats you posted about ESPN's new TQBR, I feel like that's one stat where you can't just look at the numbers and conclusively determine one's impact on a game. That argument might actually work in your favor considering that's what it's supposed to do, but my point is, from the outside, it looks like McNabb had an atrocious game going 7/15 for 39 yards (and we used to think JC was Captain Checkdown lol), but if we paid attention to the game, we'd realize there was probably a good reason why his numbers were that bad.

The Vikes led from the opening kickoff. McNabb's first pass was a great play by Shaun Phillips, and after the Chargers tied the game up McNabb put them up 17-7. So they had a 10 point lead, and really how much reason did they have to pass when they were up 17-7 and also had the best running back in the game? I'll be the first to admit I didn't watch the game, only saw the highlights on NFLN, but McNabb's stats look like a classic case of reading into the numbers too much. Who knows, maybe he tried to get the passing game going in the second half when the Chargers took the lead, but at the end of the day he didn't have a great game and both his TQBR and his normal qb rating reflected that.
