Game ball: Skins vs. Eagles

[mooby]

For me, it's hard to give out a game ball because this was a team performance. There were so many things we did right as a team for once. Portis was critical, he didn't do much in the running game, but he did have key blocks and he prevented a defensive touchdown after that eagles defender was running with the ball. Arrington was good as well, he had six solo tackles. Our defense was solid, except for that big pass play they gave up for the touchdown. They came up huge when we needed it most on that fourth down. I gave it to Brunell mostly because he carried that offense when the run game wasn't working. He looked great tonight, even though he threw no touchdowns, he also had no interceptions, which was good for us. We just did enough things right tonight to win the game. When Cooley coughed up that ball on that hit from Dawkins, i thought for sure the Eagles would recover (i base that solely on the fact that the tv camera had it at an angle where you only saw that Eagles player diving for it). This feels good. I think we are finally good enough to contend.
