So throwing 2 safeties 30 yards back is not a good call.

Double man OVER was an excellent call for the situation. Ive watched it 3 times now, and Williams simply didnt REACT fast enough. He didnt react to the short or the deep. He just didnt do anything..

That is your philosophy - mine is that you consider the situation. The situation is that Eli Manning has a minute and a half to go down the field (which he does almost on a weekly basis). We KNOW our secondary sucks. So to put Wilson and Williams in a postion to do anything other than prevent seven is asking them to do to much. With our D and Eli Manning at home on a potential game winning drive - you play to hold them to three - you play it safe there. Yes - you are rite - if you are trying to convince me that we have the rite guy in charge of our Defense I will NEVER EVER agree with you

Are we going to be in the playoffs? Probably not but I think we are definitely good enough to be in the playoffs.

we need to get on a 3 - 4 game roll now and i just dont see us doing it with our horrible d.. Next week is a win imo because Pitt isn't really scary on O

[Chico23231]

Raheem Morris been a difference in our secondary? Big NOPE

[redskins5044]

Fire all the coordinators, they all suck. We have all pro players all over the field, has to be the coaches. JK.
This loss in on both the offense and defense, we turned the ball over too much.

We know that with RGIII, we are NEVER out of a game. That 4th down play followed by the Moss TD was just amazing.

We also know that with this D, no lead is safe.

We nearly overcame a six TO game. Learn and move on.

Very sucky about the injury bug. (Will Freddy spark it up now? Better watch his back.)

Amazingly weak calls against us--that motion penalty was absurd. And we lost by four...

We have no shot as a wildcard because two teams probably arent coming out of the NFC east. I do believe we are better than Dallas, and Philly. I believe that we are better than the Giants if we dont shoot ourselves in the foot. I think we win the division and than anything can happen. Plus - RG-3 (even though the turnovers - hey its the Giants d in their house) - continues to grow up on a weekly basis. I think it is scary how good he is going to be as the season progresses. Plus maybe Garcon and BW come back. Skins will win the division - im thinking 4-2 in the division.

The fact of the matter is our secondary is just not good enough for us to win close games consistantly. Wilson is the only player of any quality in our secondary and he is at best a # 2 CB. Hall literally plays 10 yards off of every receiver and gets beat, and Williams is the worst starting free safety in the NFL. He just watched Cruz run right by him. He wasn't covering anyone he was just standing there. I knew we scored too fast, I thought Giants would drive down for a tying field goal, but against our secondary you can just throw a 77 yard TD pass and skip the rest. I'm not even mad about the loss. More like disappointed, but also a realist. This is a year to make improvements and next year I think Skins will be in the playoffs. Got the Panthers hoping to town, really hoping to get to 4-4. *Edit - jumped the gun a little bit here, my bad, at Steelers next, always a fun place to play, still really hoping to get to 4-4. Also hoping its on National TV again here in SD so I can watch at home and save $.

I agree with almost everything but the giants statement, we are not better than them, they have all elements of the game to win and we don't yet...

Skins won't make the playoffs because the east will only get one team in and that's the giants.

Nfc north will have 2 teams, hell maybe 3. (Min, chi and gb) all are really good. Nfc west has SF and then the south has ATL so that's y we won't get in IMO.

5 turnovers and we were literally an inch from beating them in their house -we gave that game away. I think we beat Dallas twice, I think we split with the Eagles and beat the Giants at home. 4-2 in the division. We really need a win next week before the bye. We heal and have a 4-4 mark with 5 division games left. Im holding out hope on a division crown this year.

Not quite there yet on the schedule dude, we gotta go to Pittsburgh next week. Yeah their defense is old but I can just imagine what Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown could do to our secondary. They are still a tough team to beat.

How can you toast to the thought of not making the playoffs. LOL . I really cant sit here and say the Giants are a better team than us after what I saw today. We absolutely gave the game away and it was an away game. I dont think that the Skins winning the East is so far fetched. We are only two games out and we do play the Giants at home still.

Like I said,you have Blinders on.. I appreciate you agreeing with me.

Although, asking Williams and Josh Wilson to apply double team on one guy and prevent anything less then a TD is TO MUCH?

They are professional athletes.. You're paying them to cover, and they failed at that. What else can you do in that situation? Prevent D with 3 safeties over top? Then what? Hope for a FG, and win the toss, and the HOPE that Eli doesn't march down the field and score a TD? Win the game on luck?

You have to put faith in the players on the field. You can't call situational play calls because you are afraid of someone you have on the field. That's just lunacy.
