Big Money Betts baby!

Re: Redskins/Eagles bright spot of the day
 

[QUOTE=dgack;258467]Also, am I the only one who thinks the 2nd INT was totally on Cooley, or at least the kind of fluke that isn't really the QB's fault?

I mean, a stat's a stat, and just like when Santana would catch a 7 yard screen and turn it into a 60 yard TD scamper, Brunell would get credit for a score, but still... [B]I saw a ball hit Chris right in the numbers and he just muffed it straight into the arms of Mike Lewis, surely that one was on the receiver, not Jason.[/B][/QUOTE]

i dont know what u saw but the ball did not hit cooley in the numbers, it was actually thrown ahead of him and deflected up by lewis. it was a dumb playcall by the coach but i think campbell shouldnt have forced it

Yeah, I'm stuck in B'More and just can't bring myself to drop several hundred bucks for Season Ticket just to see the Skins, so I frequently just get quick replays and in this case I didn't even get the replay on my larger TV, so it just looked like a receiver bloop pop-up. In any case, it didn't look uncatchable by any stretch, which is what I was getting at.

Re: Redskins/Eagles bright spot of the day
 

I had a feeling Betts was capable of something of that nature, but it was incredibly nice to see a kicker with some consistency wearing a skins uniform. my second vote would go to ARE cuz it was good to see him and Campbell starting to build some chemistry and hopefully the emergence of another threat to prevent teams from consistently doubling Moss.

that was the first thing i thought too, is it just me or do the defensive teams know when the skins are running certain plays like their is a key, and they know it is coming.....like screen, counter trey, quick slant....its not that they are bad plays just either called at the wrong times or they know when it should be coming......

Re: Redskins/Eagles bright spot of the day
 

I voted for Campbell simply because at this point in the year every snap on offense is about one thing...Developing JC. It doesn't matter whatever else happens what matters is that JC learns to be an NFL QB who can win games for us. Yesterday he had one bad pick and one unlucky pick but was able to put it all together in the second half and give us a chance to win. If we don't have a stupid penalty here and there and our line gives him a little better pass protection we probably win. Hell we outplayed them most of the game on both sides of the ball and JC was a big reason why. What I really loved was that when we need first downs and the play broke down he moved around and made something happen by running or scrambling and throwing. He did some quality things for us yesterday.

Re: Redskins/Eagles bright spot of the day
 

I went with Campbell based on how he played in the 2nd half. He really bounced back strong after the early INTs.

Re: Redskins/Eagles bright spot of the day
 

betts hands down is your bright spot of the day..

we just need to work on this god awful defense of ours..

Re: Redskins/Eagles bright spot of the day
 

I know we say this every year, but aren't we just a defensive player or two away from being back in contention?

I voted for Betts. And yes, I'm back from Key West. Longest drive EVER.

It's been strange without you TMC, welcome the F back

Re: Redskins/Eagles bright spot of the day
 

Thanks man. It's been weird not being here.

A depressing ass week to say the least. Thought you guys would enjoy this at least. I went to a bar in Key West to watch the second half of the Falcons game, and it was 50% Skins fans. Even at the southernmost point in the US, the Skins fans still represent even with the record we have.

the second half from hell, must have been a pissed off bar

Re: Redskins/Eagles bright spot of the day
 

I went Campbell because his development is the most important thing happening with the Redskins these days. I thought he did a nice job bouncing back in the 2nd half.

[quote=Mattyk72;258645]I went with Campbell based on how he played in the 2nd half.

But I was really impressed by Campbell's recovery in the 2nd half. It's like during halftime, he learned how to be careful with the football, hit his check downs, scramble when necessary, and throw the deep ball in a spot where only the WR can get it. Tale of two halves with the guy, and no logical explination could possibly explain it. Sort of like the defense being dominant for 5 quarters this season, and horrible for the other 47.

My award goes to Betts. Admittedly, I didn't see the game, I was listening to it on triple X radio and following the NFL.com gamecast. But everytime I'd look up, Betts would have another 15 plus yard run. Give him his props.

Yeah, I was furious. Gmanc and Warpath were texting me until I could make it there and then it all went to the shitter.
