10/8/06: Washington Redskins (2-2) at NY Giants (1-2)

I could definitely see us losing to the Titans next week. They played great against Indy today.

I'm no Nostradamus, but the only "gimme" game I see there is the Titans - who just gave Indy a serious run for their money.

Theres no such thing as a "gimme" in the nfl

Not to sound crushingly pessimistic, but this makes us 0-2 against the division and drops us to the bottom regardless of who wins the Dallas-Philly game. That's a HUGE hole to climb out of to ever make it to the playoffs.


I'm sure we all share in your observation, and it does put us in a very precarious situation going foreward. However today is gone, we can't bring it back or change it. It's still a lot of football to be played yet, and I agree we can ill afford more days like today.

Giants with a bye week at home had an L written all over it. I can deal with the loss but the only intensity the Skins displayed was on when the Giants were kneeling down at the end of the game. Here's a suggestion...a little less bark during the week by players/coaches, a little more bite during the game...

I hate to say it, but it appears the coaching staff wasn't ready for toay's game. There was no reason fro anything but inspired play after the way last week's game vs. the Jags ended. We looked old, slow and disinteresting today. It was a sad performance.

Titans starting a rookie at qb. No way the skins lose this game. GW will do some soul searching and realize that he calling the D way too soft. I know we are not blitzing as much because of our beat up secondary, BUT blitzing can also take pressure off the secondary.

Memo to GW, grab your testicle detector and find your balls, so you will call more blitzes next week.

I don't know if you guys realized this, but the two big plays to Toomer and Burress happened even though we had direct pressure on the qb. It's not that we're not blitzing enough, it's that Eli Manning was able to get the ball off before we got to him, and our secondary didn't cover the wide receivers well enough.

Geez, what a mighty big FORK stuck in our ass. I am getting calls from the Bengals of the 1990's asking if I would like to cheer for their team and better playoff chances than for the Skins.

I had a feeling we would lose this one. I'm not happy about it, but we didn't get totally smashed like last year. It just wasn't out day today....
