Give it up for Patrick Ramsey (merged)

[skinsguy]

The guy came in and played pretty well. My hat's off to Patrick! I still believe Brunell is our guy, but this win gives me a little more confidence in Patrick Ramsey.

Agree. Thank God it wasnt like last time he joined a Giants game!

Absolutly! This time he wasen't 3 scores down, big difference.

I agree. As much as I love the guy, I was one who got very worried when he came into the game. He played very well and did a good job rallying the team.

GOOD JOB, PAT!

Patrick Ramsey has been and always will be a class act. He's taken his demotion without mouthing off to the press, as many players would have. And, he got his chance to redeem himself and came through like a champ. He deserves all the credit he's getting. If Brunell can't play next week, I have no concerns with Ramsey being the starter.

Wouldn't it be ironic if he was our QB in the playoffs?

[skinsguy]

I was extremely nervous. At that point, the Giants were stopping our running game, and things just seemed to be going for New York, but as soon as Ramsey threw that TD pass, I felt much better. :-)

Great job in back-up and an excellent example of Redskins spirit on the interview.

great job by ramsey, i definitely had major doubts when i saw him in the game before he threw the td pass. I do hope that brunell is starting next week though, i feel that Philly will be the essential trap game, and we have a better shot of winning with brunell in there.

At the cowboys game as everyone left i got to move down right behind the redskins bench and i thought it was awsome that the only person on the field i could hear was patrick going woooooo, and slapping people and running away. This was with like 5 minutes to go. He is a true redskin. to bad it didn't work out for him here.

he has played in the last 4 giants game even though he has only started 1

Patrick is such a gamer and a real Redskin. He's stuck with the franchise through thick and thin and deserved what he got today. I LOVED how pissed he was on the second timeout, when the play was designed for Antonio Brown and Brown was out of position. Good call and good eye by Patrick to get the TO.

Mad props to Pat...some say it was a bad pass and Santana is just a good wideout. Some say it was an excellent pass.....I SAY IT WAS 7 points!!!!

Hats off to you Pat.....you deserve credit as far as I am concerned!!!

Let the haters, hate!

Ramsey showed a lot of maturity today. When he came in all he was asked to do was manage the game-put the ball in Portis' hands and let the defense do their thing. He's so competitive that in the past he's wanted to take the game into his own hands and go away from the game plan and that's when he starts forcing things. Today he really showed that he's learned a lot....and nice pass to Moss!

I'm with skinsguy, I think Brunell is the better choice when both are healthy. But I was very pleased with Ramsey.

Manage the game? Any QB has to manage a game, it was Ramseys arm that opened things back up for us, not Portis's legs, it was his playmaking ability that kept the Giants in the rearview, pass to betts, then Moss.

That Giant defense today recieved a heavy dose of old school Gibbs football, Portis was ripping off runs at 10 a clip in the 4th quarter because we beat them down all game, as good as that defense is, and they are very good, they were done by the 4th quarter, you could see it in their faces after the first drive of the game they knew they were in trouble.

Pretty nice offensive display considering I believe that Moss is the only WR to catch a pass?

Kudos to Ramsey, that's no easy task to sit the bench all season to come into a game of that magnitude and perform as he did against a very good D, not that I had any doubts, he would have been doing it all year with playing time, I was very excited to see Ramsey come in, I was very glad that Gibbs didn't go into an offensive conservative shell once Ramsey came on. One thing I noticed about Ramsey is the confidence he seems to have to know the offense, he does not look intimidated at all, great job!

I still think this is Brunells season, and if healthy he should, and will finish it, but today was only a glimpse of what Patrick has in store for some team next year, I would really hope it's us who are the benefactors.

Yea Patrick did really good this weekend, but like people have said he did not throw that much and he also came into the game not down by three scores. Nevertheless, that was a critical point in the game that everyone was worried about, and we all know we thought he might turn it over. But he didn't and he came through. I think if Brunell is alright, then we definately go back to him bc he is the starter. As for his injury, an MCL sprain can vary depending on its severity. So basically it could be something that takes a couple days to get over, or maybe more, we have to wait until later to find out.

What I meant was he didn't have to come in and suddenly start launching bombs like he had to last year to come back from a huge deficit. Just stick to the game plan. And he did it. And he did a great job. So good for him.
