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......

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... 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.

It was a pass that yes Cooley could have caught But should not have been thrown because he was covered. Its also a pass if picked goes along way the other way.

The Bright spot of the day for me was when they teased me with a few seconds of the lovely cheerleaders!!

Betts did great, but I went with ARE. Great catches, decent returns, and one sick throw. Been waiting for him to show what he can do--I found that very encouraging.

Betts was nice, but, not to take anything away, the o-line was kicking ass on the run blocking. THere were some mack-truck size holes there. (Philly has given up a lot of yards on the ground lately.)

Suisham was good, but only because I feared the worse, and he hit the makeable FGs.

Campbell is a work in progress, but that TD pass was a thing of beauty, and we saw again that the kid gets up off the mat after making mistakes. It will come.

Big Money Betts baby!

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.

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.

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

I don't think he can get my bright spot award after that first half that pretty much cost us the game. 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.

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

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

[TheMalcolmConnection]

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

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.

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