ehhhhh......i would say RGIII gets a notch over Morris. Morris getting the 1st down to end the game was big but only compensation for his Fumble in the 3rd qtr.
RGIII made all things possible on his big runs, the TD pass which gave us the lead and accurate passes. not to mention he does it every game

the Ravens on Sunday is huge for a playoff run tho.

Ravens are right where I want them. An injured Terrell Suggs, doubting themselves after losing to Charlie Batch. It's going to be tough for them to focus on next week and trying to figure out how to play this offense.

and i believe Ray Lewis will be back on Sunday???

also; good point with them being a tough spot. they just lost to the Steelers with Batch.
i am still worried about our defense too........we gave up some really big passing plays.

we will need to watch for Torrey Smith and Boldin.

Ray Ray is coming back for the Broncos, but I'm not concerned about him either. He hasn't aged well like Fletcher has, as he's taken a lot more punishment facing blockers for the Ravens.

I am worried about Torrey Smith, especially if Hall is covering him. Cedric Griffin likely gets Boldin, and that should be a good matchup.

Now, a reason for me to hate the Giants. Despite being a divisional opponent, I was pretty apathetic to them before now.

LANDOVER, Md. -- The rivalry between the New York Giants and Washington Redskins is heating up.

After the Redskins edged the Giants 17-16 in a pivotal NFC East game on Monday night, Washington owner Daniel Snyder was reportedly overheard expressing his hatred for the defending Super Bowl champions.

As the media was allowed into the Redskins locker room earlier than usual, Snyder shook hands with a team employee and said "I hate those m-----f------," according to USA Today.

The Redskins were fired up for their Monday night game against the Giants, using critical comments from Giants co-owner John Mara as motivational fodder leading up to the game, sources told ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.

Mara, the chairman of the NFL's management committee, was among those who led the charge to take away $36 million worth of salary-cap space from the Redskins.

In an article that was posted on ESPN.com on March 25, Mara was quoted as saying, "I think (the Redskins) are lucky they didn't lose draft picks" and "I thought the penalties imposed were proper."

In the days leading up to the Giants-Redskins game, Washington coaches and officials had Mara's quotes hanging on sheets of paper on their office doors, according to team sources.

Based on the quotes, the Redskins are convinced that Mara tried to have enough draft picks taken away so that Washington couldn't complete its deal with St. Louis for the rights to select quarterback Robert Griffin III.

The Redskins still are appealing the $36 million in salary-cap space they lost -- $18 million last offseason and a scheduled $18 million for this upcoming offseason.

Washington chose Griffin with the second overall draft selection after trading four picks to St. Louis.

During the game, players from both teams had to be separated during a pileup following Redskins running back Alfred Morris' fumble in the third quarter.

Giants defensive tackle Linval Joseph and Redskins offensive lineman Kory Lichtensteiger were flagged for unnecessary roughness. Joseph appeared to be trying to drag Redskins offensive lineman Will Montgomery out of the pile by his leg as players were scrambling to come up with the fumble, which was recovered by the Giants' Keith Rivers. Montgomery retaliated by kicking Joseph in the groin area and then Joseph responded by attempting to stomp on Montgomery's chest.

After the game, Joseph insisted he did not stomp on Montgomery.

"It took me everything not to hit him back, because I didn't want to hurt the team," Joseph said.

Washington's victory cut the Giants' lead in the division to one game with four games remaining. Both the Redskins and the Cowboys are 6-6. The Giants (7-5) split the season series with Washington and Dallas.

This was the Redskins Super Bowl and they let the Giants beat themselves.

The Redskins offense is a problem but that will be figured out next year. Redskins are not a good team but they have a favorable schedule to end the year. I see them going 2-2 down the stretch. Cowboys are also not a good team and see them going 2-2.

But I'm also afraid the Redskins woke up the sleeping Giants and I expect to hear about a players only meeting by Wednesday. I am getting tired of the Giants beating a playoff team and the following week losing the the Redskins. I'll say that much.

Giants will probably end up going 2-2 as well. I see them winning the next 2 and losing the next 2 causing a great final week of the year.

So the Redskins defense holding down in their territory and forcing field goals was allowing the Giants to beat themselves

Or the 11 Penalties we got, especially on the KR that gave us great field position. The Redskins didn't do anything special that entire game. Congrats on winning your Super Bowl

[SuperKevin]

I can see the Redskins going 3-1 to close out the year with a shot at taking down the Ravens with all the defensive injuries

Over 200 yards combined rushing, 5.6 YPC average from Alfred Morris, only four penalties. That's how you win games sometimes, not making mistakes, whether it's turnover or mental. Giants just didn't have the mental edge that the Redskins had.

[SuperKevin]

I'm worried about next year with the cap penalty. I hope we can surround RG3 and Morris with the necessary talent to avoid seeing them have sophomore regressions

[BigBucs]

Skins O was able to move the ball when needed but the story of the game was the Giants shooting themselves in the foot time after time. Eli with some uncharacteristic over throws to open WRs and penalty after penalty, not to mention the missed Fg. Giants loss that game more than the Redskins won it.

[SuperKevin]

I'm shocked that the Giants defensive line got virtually no pressure all game. I think they flushed RG3 out of the pocket like twice

They seemed too concerned with stopping the option than getting pressure on the ends.

[BigBucs]

Too much overthinking instead of reading and reacting.

[x0xHumblex0x]

They lost.....whats the difference.

and they couldnt stop Redskin running game in 2nd half when they needed to.

Redskins > Giants
