Fight for ole DC Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 The play when Sean Taylor was injured. I don't remember the play but it changed the season and will have a lasting impact on the franchise for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_cavalierman Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Mine seems somewhat minor, but I feel it is reflective of the change in offensive philosophy that has saved this season for us.Here it is: We are leading in the 4th quarter. The OLD Gibbs would have run GUT, GUT, SIDELINE SCREEN, PUNT the rest of the game and hoped the defense could somehow hold on. But not this time. This time, Gibbs goes deep to Moss for the winning TD and seals the deal. Frankly, I was in shock. At that moment, I not only had hope we could make the playoffs, but that we might actually advance. That's mine. What's yours? Isn't it amazing how the play calling becomes more aggressive when you have a QB that the OC has absolute confidence in? This is not an indictment on Campbell, but Collins has forgotten more football than Campbell knows and that is what we are seeing on the field. Campbell will be the man when his time comes again...but this small Collins opportunity just shows you what an experienced QB can do in this offense.

duenni Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I think Gibbs is finally comfortale to make those kinds of calls b/c he's not afraid that Collins will turn it over. isn't saunders calling the calls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing, though, that I'm not sure Collins can do that I am sure Campbell can do is bring the Skins back from being in a deep hole. I'm not sure how well Collins can do if the Skins found themselves down 17 points late in the 3rd quarter and the opposing defense keying on the passing game. I've seen Campbell bring the Skins back into the game (altho he still needs to learn how to WIN it after doing so lol )... Hopefully we won't need to ever find out...

taylorcoreskin Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 For me, the single play that both defined and saved our season was Jason Campbell getting his knee blown in the chicago game. I said it was the biggest blessing we could have had this season, and I stand by that. For the Redskins team, it was the best thing that could have possibly happened. We had a Bears player do for us what many were too afraid to do - yank Campbell for his subpar play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Se7en 8te N9ne Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 The Gibbs 12 men challenge was the turn around for me....God BLESS Joe GIBBS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWCREDSKINS Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Ledell Betts TD against the Bears. It kind of gave all Skins fans new hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris0894 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 For me it was the game against Minnie, when it looked like they were gaining momentum and they had 12 men on the field, Gibb's threw the flag, and the momentum shifted back to us..that was the defining moment for me and the shift. thats the one i was going to pick as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siven Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Personally, I think that punt against the giants, that went very short, but rolled an extra 30 yards at such a slow pace. It made me think that we are always playing with twelve men and that with an advantage like that, we can not and will not be stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhetzler Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 The play when Sean Taylor was injured. I don't remember the play but it changed the season and will have a lasting impact on the franchise for years to come. It was in the Philadelphia game. A 15-yard facemask personal foul penalty, by the way. Once he was out, the Eagles offense got much better. How does everyone feel about Taylor's last play being a penalty? Fitting? Ironic? Funny? Sad? I'd like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTotalPackage Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 1. 12 man call 2. Ladell Betts TD vs Bears 3. Series of plays vs vaGiants where the skins disrespected the gaymen's D by successfully running the halfback draw on what had to be 5 consecutive plays.

vainglory Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 the play where sean taylor was injured is the biggest play of the season for me, obviously in a non traditional manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINS FAN #56 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I just think he has more confidence in TC because of the experience he brings to the table. I don't know about the single play but in these last 4 games I just noticed an overall difference in our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
