Redskins v. Giants: Goat of the Week?

Look , I don't think it was that bad of a game .All the NFC EAST games are like this ,slpits .Home field means alot more in the Divison.

There will be no game thoughts this week. Since the Skins decided to take the week off, I am too. Call these parting shots instead:

Our offensive line is good at home but absolutely terrible on the road. That crowd was fairly quiet up there today and yet it's penalty after penalty. The coaching staff needs to get on these guys and stay on them constantly. Otherwise, they just mail it in. Consistency is what counts in the trenches and they don't got any.

The offensive game plan was thoroughly predictable. Vanilla City. They came out thinking they could run the same stuff they ran against Jacksonville, and obviously the Giants looked at that game too. Portis seemed off his game and when teams take away Moss, LLoyd needs to step up. He seems like a Taylor Jacobs clone at this point. Give me Patten, now.

Its silly to blame Brunell. He's not the playmaker. If your expecting him to be Joe Montana you will consistently be disappointed.

Our defense is all smoke and mirrors at this point. They were fortunate not to give up 35 today. Nobody could get off a block up front. Andre Carter was simply overwhemed. Archuletta looks like a high school kid out there. Having said that they surrendered fewer points than last week which is astounding, really. Go figure.

Can we go back to blasting Frost now? He was awful today. Both of Hall's misses this year have been to the left. Ade Jimoh did a good job on covering that punt inside the 5. I knew he would show up big today.

Which brings us to the goat of the week. (Drumroll)

The winner is.....

Dale Lindsey. Shut your big yap and get your guys to focus EVERY WEEK.

I agree with Matty. I would appreciate it if so many people didn't appear idiotic in relation to Mark Brunell. I felt the play-calling was atrocious on offense. And if you saw the replays, it appeared the receivers were covered, which supports my claim of bad play-calling. If the Giants have a good run defense and a poor pass defense you shouldn't start out by establishing the run. You should do some short passes to loosen them up and then go for the run.

That being said, the biggest disaster area was the DBs. Perhaps they can line up within 100 yards of the line of scrimmage. As it was, they allowed conversions for almost all 3rd down conversions by lining up so far from the line of scrimmage. And by playing so far off of the line of scrimmage, they eliminated themselves from any reasonable run support. So whomever decided that they should play so far off the line is the goat of the week. Note that they did well in the red zone as well as the end of the game, when they didn't play as far off the line. It's awful when the other team doesn't need to punt until the 4th quarter. Up 'til now, Eli has the biggest yardage numbers of the week!

Its Brunell, he stinks! 109yds passing WTF? He is so inconsistent and no defense is afraid he is gonna air it out, cause he cant anymore. He probably should have had 2-3 picks, and just put up and ugly display, its going to be an ebarrasing work week.

The coaching staff gets my vote. They simply didn't prepare the team and ready to win.

and im with mike poor play calling on offense i believe was a very big GOAT.

And if u put this on brunnell your probably a moron becuase he never had more then 3 secs to throw the damn ball. SO DRUMROLL.......................................... ........................
I BLAME THE O-LINE.
they didnt give Brunnel time to throw and where was the blocking for Mr. Portis, i mean wtf?

Start Campbell, now!

The entire team and coaches. I'm not going to point any fingers at any individuals because I think we stunk across the board. You win as a team and lose as one, and today was definitely a team effort for that loss.



I agree!!!!

Eli had all day, we couldn't do anything to him.

Props to Giants O-line + Tiki. From the first snap to the last it was won in the trenches. They we ready fresh off a bye week and it showed. Playing in NY is not fun and I'm glad we don't have to go back there until next year.

The game plan was atrousious, the Giants secondary is horrible and we come out running the ball, and we don't only run the ball but we run it right at thier strength thier D-ends.

Obviously Moss and co. can't get open against that stellar Giant secondary.

The most disgusting part of that entire game was late in the third we had a third and 1 around the Giants 20 yard line and we deciede to throw it, no play action pass just another short pass to Cooley who I might add was double covered, but Brunell in his infinite fear of getting hit throws it to him anyway with no one around him, why would he make that throw? Because if he has to take the time to find another reciever that might give the D enough time to come free and hit him and we can't have that. Then the dumbest move of the day, we deciede to kick a fieldgoal, which would still leave us down by 2 scores, taking into account how poorly we have been playing I think the no brainer is to go for it there, unfortunatly we do not believe that a 52 million dollar back is capable of gaining 1 yard with 2 down's to go, let alone on 4th down. I can't remember the last time we ran for a first down on third down with more than a yard to go.

and im with mike poor play calling on offense i believe was a very big GOAT.

And if u put this on brunnell your probably a moron becuase he never had more then 3 secs to throw the damn ball. SO DRUMROLL.......................................... ........................

Nonesense, Brunell had plenty of time to throw for most of the game, it wasen't till late when the Giants knew we had to pass that they started to pin thier ears back and pressure him, bottom line he can't squeeze the ball in downfield, the one deep ball he threw late looked like a punt he put so much air under it.

Now he didn't have the kind of time Manning had, but most QB's only dream of that kind of time to throw.
