For those of you who have known me for a while, I'm typically the eternal optimist. This time, I'm fully convinced our season is over. Not because we lost this game, mathematically we are very much in the hunt. We are out of the playoff race because our offensive line play is streaky, Gibbs does NOT go for the knockout punch and MAINYL because we have no pass rush.
Wrap your brains around this:
Did it not seem that Gibbs was trying to run the clock out in the THIRD QUARTER?! In addition to that, Collins had all year to throw. If there were positives from this game, I'd love to see them. All year we've been playing UP or playing DOWN to the teams that we are against. Giants and Raiders were supposed to be "gimmes" defensively. Well guess what, either Mark Brunell hasn't resurrected as much as we all thought or we just aren't that good.
It makes me sick to say this, but I think it's the latter.

I think you're pretty much spot on.
Pessimist Play Book...Ugly and upsetting to watch.

I don't know, what about those long passes down field that Brunell was throwing towards Jacobs? We can't get pressure on quarterbacks, and our offensive line is not consistant.

Yeah, I was irritated when they were calling offensive plays, like the Skins had a two touchdown lead, when they only were up by three.
And I swear, our front four would make Chad Hutchinson look like a pro bowler.

I agree it seemed like Gibbs was content to try and sit on his 3 point lead by diving Rock Cartwright into the line with over 14 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

tmc, i agree with you. i don't think we are out of the hunt, but we are fading fast. we make way too many mistakes to be a playoff team.

True, our goalline D looked good, but when, oh WHEN, will we put a complete game together?

I don't know. But at least we showed some heart. I can ALMOST stand to lose when we fight the whole game, but that Giant's game... that made me sick.
