Yep, nobody rushed from the outside - everyone stood there and watched. Just sheer laziness. That's inexcusable.It did not look like the Skins even tried to block the XP. Feagles bobbled the ball; then seemed hesistant to re-hold. Carney still got it off with no one even close.
I agree with that right now.The giants are definitely the best team in the league
I hope you're right, I did the same thing in a league where I had one glaring hole at WR.I am starting to get excited about my FF playoff chances. My big weakness up to yesterday morning was WR. I had one stud, Dwayne Bowe, and the other starter was whoever I decided to pull off the waiver wire and insert. Mark Bradley one week, Justin Gage another, but my problem was I always chose the wrong week, of course.All that changed yesterday morning. Heard the news about Plax, got on my computer and grabbed Hixon before anyone else could. Inserted him in my lineup, and now I am watching this game and licking my chops. Do I suddenly have a WR1 on my hands to start for the next three weeks? What incredible, amazing luck!
Great play call. That makes this a ball game if maybe the Redskins can slow them down on defense, and it's not looking so good right now.TD Skins D Thomas reverse
From a Skins fan - yeah, it was questionable.I'm aware I may be biased, but that was a pretty crappy call taking away a Giants interception.
I actually tend to agree. He was great, but not for a very long time.I know this is going to come across wrong and I probably should not bring it up. How does S Taylor make the ring of fame? I dont think he played long enough. I may not get what the ring of fame is for but I thought it was sort of a stadium hall of fame thing.
No, he didn't play long enough and he didn't really have the stats to back up inclusion in the Ring of Fame, but it's about the team's and the fans' love for a player. People were confident that Sean Taylor was going to be a great player and the DC area was in a pretty deep funk after his murder. 20 years from now, when any Skins fan looks up at the Ring of Fame and sees his name, I don't think anybody will question his inclusion.I know this is going to come across wrong and I probably should not bring it up.

Stats? For a safety? He was hugely impactful on the field, as much for teams avoiding throwing into his area of the field, and for WR's getting distracted and intimidated into incompletions as much for anything that would show up in a stat sheet. He was flat out dominant. The issue is how long do you have to play, and 3.5 seasons just isn't that much.No, he didn't play long enough and he didn't really have the stats to back up inclusion in the Ring of Fame, but it's about the team's and the fans' love for a player.

That is sort of my question. Is the ring of fame more for the fans love of a player or how good a player he was? I am not sure that S Taylor qualified for either until he died. I know fans liked him but if he did not die does he make the ring of fame?I dont know it is probably a stupid question i should not have asked.No, he didn't play long enough and he didn't really have the stats to back up inclusion in the Ring of Fame, but it's about the team's and the fans' love for a player.

Yes, he was dominant during those 3.5 seasons. What I'm saying is that I don't think he's being put in the Ring of Fame for his career stats, but rather what he meant for the team while he was here. I think the original poster felt that you should have numbers closer to Dawkins, Rodney Harrison, or maybe at least Adrian Wilson levels before you earn a Ring of Fame-type honor.Stats? For a safety?

What numbers? Are you of the assumption that safeties are like RB's, and that if they don't reach certain levels of stats that they aren't being productive? Isn't there more variation between how safeties can be used versus other positions that would affect their numbers? It just seems like a silly argument when you're talking about safeties.Yes, he was dominant during those 3.5 seasons.

Yes. He's just not getting much yards on the Giants run-D.Is Portis in the game now?
It's not unprecedented that a player with a brief career is honored like that after a death. Vince Lombardi is on the Redskins' ring too, despite only being the coach for one year. The Nets retired Drazen Petrovic's number after his death. The Hornets retired Bobby Phills' number too. etc.That is sort of my question.
