Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Giants at Redskins)

[firstdown]

One holding call missed was so bad you could see the rusher go backwards as the lineman pulled his arm. Not a perfect game but it a good start.

I didn't read through all 90 posts, and I know SS wanted to omit him from this thread, but I'm sorry. Reed Doughty is effing terrible. He's a great guy and the adversity he's overcome in life is impressive. In that sense, I'd like to have 53 Reed Doughty's. But he's not a good NFL safety. At all.

an effing back up is what he is. As bad as he was he still managed to be a tackling machine.

He played horrible, but in his defense, Paul could end up being better than both of those guys.

Yeah I'm with you. Not sure why Doughty was off limits in this thread. Thom Loverro just said it best -- Doughty is like a major league pitcher who does everything right except give up the game winning hit.

Maybe I missed someting as far as Doughty ? Most CB's can't cover a WR 1 on 1 , very few if any Strong Safeties , let alone FS ' s can be expected to cover one . I hope LL makes it back soon , however he has been beaten ( badly ) on more than a few occasions himself . The NFL is a passing league , guys get beat .

Yes Scud come over to the dark side. Reed is effing terrible period. I mean that performance yesterday was bad...there was probably 4-5 plays that he was just highlighted as blown coverages, mis read, mis tackle. I mean the whiff on bradshaw was god-aweful. Troy Aikemen lit him up a couple time.

I saw Kerrigan getting held by the neck too.

Could the Tony Romo Era be Done in Dallas?

That would be EVERYBODY at one time or another. Again who does that really benefit? No one, that's who. Let the refs decide the game and it will add to the over-all enjoyment of it.

There were some mistakes and things we can improve on, that's usually the case whether you win or lose. I read the Giants now saying the same things about their loss yesterday that we're usually saying when we're on the losing end.

I just want to savor this victory, go back to work, correct the mistakes of yesterday and use this game as a momentum builder. At least I can feel better about our mistakes in winning than the Giants can feel about theirs in losing......httr

Beyond the two plays, can you tell me exactly what he did during that game to be labeled as "terrible"?

Besides not having enough lifeboats and walls that didn't go high enough to protect against internal flooding, what exactly was wrong with the design of the Titantic?
