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

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..

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.

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.

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 really that good he wouldn't be a career backup...

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

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

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.

Collins. To step in in the middle of the game and step up the way he did isn't easy.
