I give Mike credit for getting that bubble created. Replicating the Superdome environment would have been impossible without it, I'm sure it had a lot to do with our lack of false starts (1) during the game.

+1

I think D. hall had an awesome game as well. I watched the highlights and he played extremely well. Even had a sack.

I think after all the criticism last year, this has to be acknowledged.

Good call.. he was moved around a lot, made some plays and probably finally has a db coach that knows how to utilize his skills.

I did notice him trailing a receiver a couple of times, though. He got lucky once and his dude dropped the pass.

This is a little hyperbolic. Yes, Garcon made a great catch and finished wonderfully, but a lot more went into the play than that. Including it being set up by the 11 previous plays from the first drive.

Just like when there's plenty of blame to go around after a loss, there's plenty of credit to go around for this play and this win.

I listened to Greg Cosell from NFL film give his take on that play (ESPN9 80 every Wed. at 4:00pm) . He said that the play was supposed to go to Niles Paul, but he was blanketed by the linebacker. RGIII had t make a quick decision as he went to his progressions and decided Garcon was his the right guy to through to.
Cosell, who probably watches more NFL film than any man on Earth, said that rarely any QB, let alone a rookie, could make that quick of a decison and make that throw.

I agree with CvilleHog on this one - a lot more went into play than the great catch and run by Garcon. A team sport!!! Give Shanny the credit for giving RGIII the weapons.

To his defense that's how he baits qbs.. he also had a play he broke up and almost had an int by making it.look like he was beatto the qb. Or maybe that was just luck.
