Skins Post-Game

A friend writes:

McCoy and Maclin did their best today to shut me up. Andy lost the touch on the running game in the 3rdQ and the offense sagged, but then rediscovered it in the 4th and the chains started moving -- which then opened up space for Maclin, and he and Avant made the catches.

Really gotta hope Avant and Jackson are healthy. That gives us a fighting chance at the NFC East if they're healthy.

Andy called 27 running plays designed for runners (I count Vick in those), and he called 37 pass plays -- 35 throws by Donovan and 2 plays in which he ended up running boot leg options.

It's not a great ratio -- almost 43% running, 57% passing -- but it was enough to force the Skins D to play honest.

Back to back close-game wins, too, my other pet peeve of the year. Not sure if you guys were at the game, but the Fox guys said that was our 1st 2-point-conversion attempt of the ENTIRE season. Not sure how that's possible.

Matt Ryan is hurt, if he can't play next week, that makes the Atl game much more winnable.
