Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Who gets yours and why?

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Springs. That long int that led to a touchdown at the end of the first half was a huge momentum swing...

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

true... on springs, but honestly, who knew collins could come in a perform that well under any circumstances? i applaud the coaches for having faith.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Collins. We needed a passing O really bad.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Todd Collins for coming in and running the offense efficiently. The throw to Betts was totally sweet and the sort of foot-on-the-throat moment that we haven't had all season.

I'd also write in Danny Smith and the boys for sacrificing field position in order to contain Hester. Most days you wouldn't applaud kicking it out of bounds at the end of the game, but in this case it was inspired. Well done.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Collins is my easy choice. He was lights out, we couldn't have asked him to play any better than that.

Springs' INT at the end of the first half was pretty huge too. That really helped swing the game in our direction.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

easy choice. Collins. came in and performed especially well, against a decent defense. made the right throws. and threw it away when needed

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Collins, because he moved the offense when there was zero running game to speak of.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Collins gets my vote. He came into a difficult situation and gave this team the boost they needed to get the win. Campbell is still my guy...but Collins showed last night that he knows this offensive system and has the ability to be the field general we need. He may get rocked next week against the Giants (who will be prepared for him) though.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Collins for his unexpected night's work. Second place goes to Saunders, for calling first downs passes in the fourth quarter with a lead. The last thing anyone expected given our recent history.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Springs, he ended a Bears drive before halftime, turned the game around and gave Collins a short field to get his first TD. Then he had ANOTHER pick.


Collins had a lot of time to throw, he was good, not not spectacular, he just got the job done. I'd give the gameball to the o-line if they had been able to protect Campbell that well.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Collins. Coming off the bench cold is so hard to do. He knew where to go with the ball. He makes decisions faster than JC. But his arm is as weak as I've even seen in the NFL.

Not sure if he's as bad as Wuerffel or Pennington but he might be in the discussion.

Plus we're used to seeing Campbell who has a live arm.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Collins. First game in a long time that we didn't choke in the end.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Collins without a doubt. Sure, they're ALL NFL QBs and you'd think they could step in and lead a team, but MAN he led it with authority. OK, I have to bring it up, Campbell versus Collins?

I keed, I keed.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Without a question in my mind, Collins. Solid performance.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Also, let me say that I would also give a piece of that ball to GW for having some cojones and BLITZING a little bit.

It might be premature to say, but Landry looks like the best blitzer in the NFL. Seriously, he ALWAYS lays at least a hit on the QB.

Landry is a great blitzer. If we're smart, they'll put him Eli's face all day long.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Al Saunders for calling a game that made the offense look balanced for a change.It was nice to see the ball being spread around.

Maybe he really isnt comfortable with JC yet.If he is still here next year I'm sure he and Cambell will open it the hell up.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball

Without a doubt. With a nice break to get everyone fully healthy, our DEFENSE should at least be able to do something with the Giants.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Collins in a landslide. For someone who hadn't been on the field all year, he looked comfortable in the pocket. I'm sure the Giants will blitz the hell out of us next Sunday and try to rattle him. We must rattle Eli in return.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Let's not leave out Gregg Williams either. The D was very aggressive last night, we haven't seen that much blitzing since the Jets game. Plus they've given up 1 TD in how many quarters now? 12 or something like that? Hats off to GW.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Evryone has had the same gameplan for weeks now. Stop Portis and make Campbell beat you through the air. In spite of all Campbell's progress, he hasn't been able to work things consistently inside the 20's and therefore we have been losing by the painfully smallest amounts. The difference in the game was that Collins beat Chicago through the air. His throws were timed perfectly. I was very impressed. and... I do expect the Giants to pressure the heck out of him. I'm glad we have an extra 4 days to rest and prepare for this game.

Collins gets the game all without question.

Lets hope he gets it next week too!

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Collins.. Coming off the bench he showed why Saunders wanted him to be here so badly and how effective the offense can be.. He was efficient, accurate and confident with the ball.. The 10 days will be good in getting him in rythym with the receivers and with a healthy OL going into the Giants game I feel good about being able to steal a win..

But here's the thing that just kills me about GW, he'll call a great game one week, and watch, the very next week against Eli he'll play some soft ass deep zone defense.

Absolutley. He did bring the house several times.

I've admittedly been off the Grilliams bandwagon for a while but I will give props to him for the way he called the game last night.. That's what we need to be doing EVERY week from here on out.. Eli-hates pressure in his face.. Jackson-young QB who can be pressured into mistakes.. If we're going to go out, let's go out fighting rather than playing not to get beat..

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Gotta go with Springs. He turned the game around. We haven't had a game changing play like that in a long time. Collins did great and put up the numbers but I still think it was Springs' play that put us in control.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Todd Collins is my choice. Collins did an excellent job coming in and leading the offense under very difficult situation. He showed poise and purpose. Seeing Campbell rolling in pain almost brought tears to me eyes. What more can happen to this team? It's as if the Redskins are cursed.

P.S. An honorable mention goes out to Shawn Springs. His performance was also inspiring. I also liked how aggressive the defensive play calling was from Greg Williams. The Skins really went after the Bears. The game plan to counter Devin Hester was effective also.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

I am in the majority here. TC was great last night and virtually won the game for the Skins. He definitely deserves the game ball.

Look, there is no doubt, NO DOUBT, that Springs' play was the game changing play. But there can't possibly be anyone on the Warpath, or anywhere else, who wouldn't have chalked up an automatic victory for the Bears if they knew Campbell would go down in the first half. Also, consider the crew that Collins suddenly was in charge of. This team was already completely demoralized--Sean's death, the heartbreaking defeat at home in a game they wanted to win for Sean, followed by the funeral, and then a game in the frigid cold two days later while riding a four game losing streak. How much more could it take? And then the team saw is budding leader go down and get carted off the field? Yeah, which one of us would have wanted to take over the reins of the team under these circumstances? Well, Todd was forced to, even though he essentially hadn't played in five YEARS. And how'd he do? Better than anyone could have possibly imagined. Did he look like Favre? No way, but again, no one could have reasonably expected that he would perform half as well as he did. So, you gotta give the game ball to Todd.

Collins, and he said it all^

I'm changing my mind and think that we need a O & D game ball. Spring's turned the game around then Collins moved the O. I think both were very important and without either one of those this would have gone down as a L.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Todd, DEFINATELY gets my vote. to come off the bench and played the way he did last night was awesome. That was a big game for us as a team and for him to look composed and as sharp as he did speaks volumes for his ability to understand the offense with such limited opportunities in practice.

great job Todd Collins.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Collins and no Malcom there Quaterback controversy...seriously...

He had a good game, and made no mistakes...but if he were [I]really[/I] that good he wouldn't be a career backup...

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Perhaps Todd is finally getting his shot and could be a late bloomer like a Rich Gannon?!

Yes I'm kidding.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

I give mine to Smoot. I think this guy played his heart out again this week, was carted off, and still came back because he knew they had to have him out there. That is the kind of fight I want to see.

Now, Collins did a nice job, and the playcalling had balls for once. Next week will be a different story, but for this week, Collins and Smoot get game balls.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

One cannot fathom success last night without Todd Collins. He came off the bench and had probably the best performance of his career. Making pinpoint throws while executing the offense to near perfection. He was the difference in this game.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

Guys, I was a sports bar last night in Morgantown, WV(Tons of SKins FANs) and these Bear fans actually had the nerve to say something derogatory about SEAN. I was disgusted and started telling off and he swung at me and missed. We threw down for respectable cause, even a Cowboys fan wouldn't say shit like that. It was crazy and so was Collins blowing up.

Re: Redskins v Bears game ball
 

yea i definately give credit to sean springs for the game changing play late in the 2nd Q.. but i have to also give Todd collins the game ball.. he came in just like wevery other game not really expecting to play.. but when he was called upon he did great. He lead our team to a good and well needed win, made 0 mistakes, couple TD tosses... it was a great job
