Re: Redskins game balls

I went with the D. 2 of 13 on third down conversions is more like it. Not just that but watching the d force 3 and outs reminds me what a good defense we once were, and how good we can be. I think it was a great step in the right direction for the d and something to build on.

Re: Redskins game balls

I went with Campbell. He started out like crap, had crappy stats but fought his way through it to throw for two clutch TDs and once again found the chains with his feet. I thought it was one of his biggest gut check games, if you will.

My thoughts exactly. He just had one o those days where everything went tits up on him. He still plugged away and made big plays to win the game though. I am more encouraged by what he did in the 3rd quarter, because of his first half struggles, than ever before.

If he is the QB the haters paint him to be, he should have completely folded and lose that game. Going into the half I thought he was going to fold and that Zorn was going to bench him. Glad he proved me wrong.

I voted for Capt. Caveman. Although, I think the above is the bigger picture for us. JC had a bad game, but managed through it. Since he's been really careful not turning the ball over I hope he doesn't regress after all those INTs.

Overall, the game ball goes to the team. As I've said in another thread, we don't have to be pretty, as long as we win.

The D. Blache stepped up as promised, and he seemed to attempt to disguise his blitzes better.

Re: Redskins game balls

I went with CP for grinding it out with that hopeless o-line and playing calling of ours.

Re: Redskins game balls

Our Defense played great, but lets not get too comfy.........TB didnt even get 90 total yards the entire game last week.

P.S. - I can't believe that Campbell was even an option for the gameball. Like I've said in previous threads, we need a qb thats a leader, not one who is responsible for 4 turnovers, almost 5 if his INT didnt get completely dropped, and had to have his defense bail him out for a 3 point win over arguably the worst overall team in the league by many opinions. I like the guy, but hopefully these outings will wake redskin nation up to the fact that a new signal caller is needed, at least if we want to get to the Superbowl any time this century. If Zorn IS able to squeak out his HC'ing stint for one additional year, lets hope he wakes up as well, instead of his usual bullshit excuses for Campbell. You can only "show progress" for so long until people start wanting their quarterback to show some fucking results. This is the NFL, not the pee wee leagues. I dont see where the loyalty for this sub par qb comes from, but it needs to go the hell away. And for all of redskin nation that disagrees, thats great! Be a Fan!!! But if you really believe that JC is a qb that can lead this team to the next level......well.....you need your head checked. Mediocrity can only be covered up with excuses and hope for so long..........

I went with Campbell because he picked himself up and threw for two TDs to win the game. He was lucky to not have been benched by Zorn, and he used that opportunity to win the game.

I can tell you of a QB who is a media darling, who would have been expected to win the game for his team after a dreadful performance, and didn't...Tony Romo.

He did throw 2 pretty big TD passes, no? Guess I must have imagined that.

Keep on hatin'.

And you believe that the two TD passes makes up for having 4 turnovers? 99% of the time in this league, if a QB throws 3 (almost 4) INT's, loses a fumble on top of that and even in the second half didnt do anything spectacular against a ridiculously poor defense, that team will lose the game. Thank god we had a defense shut them down to basically only 6 points.

Now the thing about Cutler, I never really said anything concerning him, and I sure aint on his stick, but lemme take a shot at this.

How many times has Cutler, in his career, albeit short, thrown for 350+ yards, and compare that to Campbells. How many three td games has campbell ever had? compare that to cutlers, shoot, Cutler even has a better winning pct. with much worse defenses.......Why?

Because he makes plays. Teams need to account for him. Hes a weapon. He influences games, not just manages them in a piss poor manner, hoping not to make a mistake to influence it in a negative way. Teams DO NOT look at the upcoming game with the skins and say, "We've better account for this guy every play, or hes gonna eat us alive." Know why? Because hes never done that at all in his entire career against even the POOREST of teams.(Just look at our first three games this year.)Oh, and look what Cutlers doing in Chicago, with absolutely NO receiver corps of any kind. Campbell has better weapons, hes just not a winner.

Now, let the excuses flow. (like I said, where is the allegiance to this mediocre soul coming from anywho?)

If at the end of the day there's a 'W' then yeah I'd say he made up for the turnovers.

No he did not make up for the Ints it was the D that made up for the 4 turnovers by not allowing TB to convert them into points.

So I guess leading the team to two touchdowns and a field goal in the third quarter doesn't qualify as anything spectacular, esp. not Moss' 59 yard td catch that he caught in stride and didn't have to make an adjustment for or anything? That was pure luck right?

And let me ask you a question since you are so high on Cutler. How many times, in his career, has Cutler had a huge game but the Broncos still lost despite that effort?

You are basically saying the Redskins won this game in spite of Jason Campbell, and not because he led the team to the points that won the game.

I'm just sick how you are looking at JC's stat line and thinking that's what to expect from him. Dude has 1 career 3 pick game in almost 3 seasons as a starting qb and now all of a sudden he's some horrible quarterback. He made the plays that put the points on the board and won the game for us. No matter how you look at it that's what it comes down to.

And I can guarantee you Carolina's coaches are looking at the game film from the Bucs game and saying, we better account for Jason Campbell and keep pressure on him otherwise he's gonna go deep to Moss all game.
