The Great
- Kyle Shanahan. He wasn't on the field, but his impact loomed large. Shanahan is a master at designing different plays that begin out of the same formation, and a master at disguising what's coming next. The Giants' defense was kept off balance for much of the game.
- Pierre Garcon. Just a few weeks ago it seemed Garcon could miss the season. Tonight he had 8 receptions for 106 yards and a TD.
- Alfred Morris. 124 yards on 22 attempts, breaks the 1,000 yard mark, and fights for the first down that seals the game. He is forgiven for his fumble.
The Good
- RGIII. He accounts for 'only' 235 yards of offense. And he didn't see Santana Moss wide open for a TD late in the game, and he overthrew Josh Morgan on a key 3rd down late in the game. And because he's good at everything (accuracy, arm strength, speed, poise, intelligence) I have to find reasons to occasionally say he had a 'good' rather than 'great' game.
- Skins defense. Can't call them great when they let up 400 yards, but they gave up FGs rather than TDs, and held the Giants to just 16 points.
The Not-So-Good
- Brandon Banks. Returned more than one kickoff and punt short of the 20 yard-line. He's making poor decisions, and he hasn't looked elusive or fast for a long long time.
