Agreed!

Re: Skins gmen GameDay thread.
 

Since I am using the 1st place thread to only celebrate, I will level the mood in here a little.

First off, huge win that does NEED to be said FIRST AND FOREMOST. No matter how you do it, winning is the needed result. Ok so.....

For a game the 'Skins were dominating so soundly for 3 and a half quarters, we nearly gave this one away because of 2 quick scores. In all honesty this game should have been out of reach before it even got to the 4th quarter. Lots of missed opportunity early on, and did anyone else think Gruden went way too soft on his play-calling on the final drive of offense prior to the Giants getting their first TD? It was first & 10 inside their 20, score was 17-0, and I know a FG isn't the worst outcome, but you gotta call plays like you want that TD. It seemed like the entire sequence it was just being called to setup a FG. If you put the ball in the endzone, making it 24-0 instead of 20-0, the game is effectively over and you probably see the Giants hitting the panic button on offense.

Also, a rare critcism of Jordan Reed coming, but does he just not have a high football IQ? He is an absolute beast of a pass catcher which is of course needed for this offense, but the little things he does wrong week in and week out. He is always good for 1-2 holding calls per game which are obvious rule-breaking offenses, and then I notice on a lot of pivotal conversion downs he is cutting his routes 1-2 yards short of the marker, and I know sometimes he can go into beast mode and run through the tackler, but why do that?

Anyways, I am extremely happy they won the game and went into 1st place, it's just that I was watching a game that should have been way out of reach before the NYG ever got their first score, and it ended up being way too close for comfort.

HTTR~!

Ditto. It's great not to be embarrassed and at the same time have young players who will grow and contribute.

Scot is a boss, definitely has the eye for drafting talent and building team.

Re: Skins gmen GameDay thread.
 

Two important things to point out:

1 - Skins are lone winners in the NFC east for the second time in three weeks. We hardly ever see this once a year; this season it's happened twice.

2 - If we can somehow manage to win the next two games, we will have overcome 4 major team hurdles: beating the Giants (done), winning back to back games, winning on prime time, and winning on the road. We have struggled with all 4 points for years now.

I am still very concerned about the amount of Calls going against us VS the other team calls.....way out of whack.....:(

They are in the bottom when it comes to penalties called against the Skins and have less than the teams they've played against. Not that there is a great time to make a penalty but timing comes into play. Reeds holds were bad and one was a drive killer. Morgan Moses' however saved KCs butt from a nasty hit. I will take a ten yard penalty and a down replay over a sack and a loss of down.

WAAAY to much Giant blue in the stands.....

Re: Skins gmen GameDay thread.
 

great team win. especially considering the giants were coming off their bye. really exciting game to watch. i hope the run game and run D success continue and it just wasnt bc we played the giants. we need to be a balanced team going forward otherwise its one step forward, one step back.

httr

The SUPER annoying part was how loud it was when we were on offense. Like I've seen games where it's half visiting team, but they're never that loud.

Re: Skins gmen GameDay thread.
 

I think Jordan Reed needs to work the refs a little more.

Replay is making alot of the calls look bad, not just against us.

Re: Skins gmen GameDay thread.
 

is there no post game 'good, bad and ugly" thread for the giants game? i guess ppl like complaining about negatives instead of talking positives.
