Skins at Giants pregame

The gloom and doom around here is as ridiculous as it is oppressive. We've only played two games, people. Two games!

I hope that none of you is buying the media crap of "No team that has started the season 0-2 at home has ever made the playoffs". Well, no team with a left-handed equipment manager has ever won the Super Bowl, either. Both of those observations are irrelevant. Before the season ends, there will be plenty of media coverage like this, as well: "The Warthogs are the only team to ever...".

Get your minds right, you bunch of Negative Nancy's.

Great post. So the next 5 games we have are Giants, Lions, Browns, Ravens, and Eagles. As I said in an earlier post, there's no reason that we cannot win all of those games with the talent we have (we could also lose several of them as well, if we don't get it in gear). But we win those games and move to 5-2, discussion about the season being over will look a tad premature.

One game at a time, people. Beat the Giants.

<3 this!

I actually think, aside from obvious needs at some positions (I'd say D-line and Center to begin with) that I'm sure will be addressed during the offseason, all this team needs to win is confidence! The exact same games with, for say, Cousins and Breeland thinking as highly of themselves as Norman does, would not have gone the same way...

Tell that to KC. Sorry if the fan base is a bit jaded. When you can't get consistent QB play year in and year out, and then you pay a guy 20 mil who is suppose to do that and he misses 5 TD passes which would have won at least one game, fans are going to be pissed and tired of the same old bullshit we have seen for 20 plus years.

Division games can always go either way. I've talked to several Giants fans this week and nobody thinks this game is a lock for them.

Agree. This is the NFL not college, there are no locks.

This game is code red, purple, pink, its the whole color spectrum.

Beat the Giants and the Browns and we're back in business. Lose this game, the season is over for all intensive purposes. Oh, and the Steelers better beat the damn Eagles. If all this happens we are no worse than 1 game out of first and 1-1 in division after week 4.

Yeah because for as pissed off as I am that we missed so many open TDs against the Cowboys, we were a few accurate throws on those balls from routing their asses. So we're 0-2 but the strength of our team (the offense) is still a major threat. If Cousins gets it together then we're toe to toe with NYG.

But man I hate that I have to use the word 'if' when referring to our $20M quarterback.

coworker said D Jax in street cloths today and not practicing...said jay will talk about it after practice...good effing grief.

Look folks, last year Cousins didn't throw any INTs in the Redzone. This year he threw one last week at an inopportune time. No one expected him to be perfect. Heck I remember Eli Manning throwing one to was it Quinten Dunbar last year? I would still rather have Kirk over Eli. The Redskins Defense is letting them down as much as Kirk is. It takes a group effort to win and lose in this league and the Redskins just didn't make enough plays or stops to win last week. If they find a way to beat the Giants this week, everything changes.

I would just point out that The Giants barely beat Dallas in a rookie QB's first game ever -- a team that we could (and should) have beaten. They scored only 20 points and Eli threw for about 165 yards less than Cousins in our matchup against the same team.

The Giants also beat a very weak Saints team -- scoring 1 TD; total of 64 yards rushing against a pathetic defense.

Let's not proclaim ourselves doomed against this team. This is a winnable game.
