Alfred "The Butler" Morris...... because he ALWAYS delivers!
HAIL!
The Giants' play calling was a little suspect. They tried to ice the game by running the ball more but it in reality it played into the one "strength" of the Redskin defense. The defense did a great job to step up and make plays when they needed it most.Quote:

The samething on the Garcon catch for the 1st down in terms of the LBs. The play action, to Morris, froze the LBs, which gave RGIII a nice window to complete that pass.
How can we get something like this into the stadium?

Good post Niko and I totally agree. Game ball goes to Alfred Morris. We were gettitng 6 or 7 yards each down in the running game. We controlled the clock and kept the ball and methodically drove the length of the field to win this game.
Old school NFC East football. And I loved every second of it.
We may have given up zero sacks, but man they have got to keep Robert from getting blasted as much as he is.Quote:

Morris sealed the game similar to Portis back in 2005 during the playoff run.
Can somebody from Eastern Motors setup a meeting with Alfred Morris (or his agent) and get him a new ride. He deserves it!!!!
Actually, the announcers said a few times that that was part of Coughlin's game plan for us.Quote:

Which, to me, was a heck of a compliment to our team. I mean the Peyton Manning. Super Bowl champion, division leading, New York football giants, think that, to beat us, they have to keep the ball away from us.
guessing you mean eli manning there. But yea that is quite funny.Quote:

Game ball goes to Morris. I don't disagree with that at all. That fumble could have really crushed him, but he came back stronger than before. So proud of Alfred. The holes were there, but he consistently made defenders miss and have to gang tackle him. That defense looked absolutely beat down after the game. Well done youngin!
Hail!
Not sure if anyone mentioned this/noticed this, but although Morris did fumble the ball, the refs blew the call during the instant reply. It was very typical that the announcer's didn't say anything, but I don't understand how the refs missed this. My only explanation is that I don't understand the rule (although this rule has worked against the Skins in the past). Here is why the fumble should have gone back to the Skins. 1) the ball was fumbled. 2) Morris' foot clearly hit out of bounds (left foot) 3) before anyone recovered the ball and I think before anyone else touched the ball, Morris reached with his left hand and touched the ball. That is it, end of play - as soon as a player that is out of bounds touches a loose ball, the play should be marked as over because the ball is considered out of bounds at that point - the ball should be rewarded to the last team that had possession. That would be the Skins.
Please, if I am wrong about this rule, let me know. If I am right, how did the refs miss this?

I think the Giants thought they could run on 1st and 2nd down and run the clock and the just pick up a 1st by throwing on 3rd down. They did it so often last night, I think they thought it would be easy. Our D came through in the 2nd half last night!!Quote:
