That first kickoff was directional by design...that was coaching and poor coverage....actually the kick was perfect....yes...a couple other were shorter but had good hang time....one was a touchback which is very rare these days for any team....It is nice to know he has that sort of power.

This is an easy one. C.P.

Portis was phenomenal but I gotta give my game ball to Swish. The guy was beyond clutch.

[Cowell]

I'm giving the ball to Portis. I mean how can anyone not give the ball to Portis when the man accounted for most of our offense. Yes, Suisham was great but with almost 200 yards on the ground you have to give Portis the game ball.

[Beemnseven]

Without Suisham, we score 8 points.

Game Ball -- Suisham. End of story.

I picked the score to be Jets 20, Skins 17. The only difference between that and the final is that Suisham hit all four of his field goals in regulation, none of them under 40, and forced overtime in a stadium that is historically rough on kickers (see: Nugent's miss to end the first half).

Oh yeah, he also kicked the game winner as straight as possible.

This one's easy.

Yeah I was counting on that safety to avoid OT till Suisham pooched it.

I gave it to Mangina for punting the ball away at our own 37 yd line in OT knowing his defense couldn't stop us terrific call for a 1-7 team, it was a Gibbs like decision.

But if it has to be a player then I think you have to go with Portis, 196 yards is a big accomplishment regardless how bad the Jets are.

the fans desrve the game ball cause what we have to deal with from week to week..my vote is portis and the field goal kicker.....

[TheBigD]

I picked Suisham but only because the OL wasn't there.

Chip Lohmiller is the only kicker ever to have a 5-FG game in 3 straight seasons.

If you believe that, why not vote for Portis...200 yards with a bad line is impressive.

Because Portis can't run that well now, and he was bumping into the OL, but he OL kept pushing. Even you and I could have run through those massive holes the OL were opening up for Portis.
