[quote=TheSmurfs22;472353]It stinks it is a divisional game but guys this is the first game. No need to hit the panic button after game one.[/quote]

I agree, but some eyebrows will certainly be raised, as well they should be. I am going to see how Orton does with the Bears and reevaluate me having drafted JC as my backup QB on my fantasy team. This guy isn't going to be racking up too many points for awhile.

[quote=vaoutlaws2006;472367]poor play calling and poor qb play...not to mention the cb's with the hands of steel. We should have came out running the rock. I dont get it. Running the ball is our strength. Run the damn ball early and often and hell i dont know. and do we not have a hurry up? [B]I know its game one with a rookie coach but i dont have to be the smartest man in the world to know you run plays to your teams strength. and we didnt establish that tonight.[/B] On a brighter note....nice adjustments by blache at halftime. The d that is on the field in the second half looks a lot better than what i saw in the first half. Its week one lets not burn it down yet.....as much as i want too![/quote]

Totally agree. I dont think anyone in this room ever even coached a highschool football team and we all know that they needed to hurry up. So i dont want people playing the rookie coach card. JC knew they needed to hurry up as well as anyone.

pathetic. worst clock management ive ever seen at the end, terrible first half, second was a little better. the playcalling was really bad imo, im sick of these passes on 3rd down that dont make it past the marker.

RNC timetable, so they had to get it overwith.

But it's also our home opener.

I'd really like to think the Skins don't wanna get bent over in front of their home crowd.

Re: Redskins vs. Giants Game Thread 9/4/08
 

I still think part of the fault is our wideouts. I mean come on, get open somehow. Sheesh!

Agreed, I mean our defense was completely affected by the crowd in that first drive...well not completely, but I'm sure they were affected by it.

Maybe part...but you have to let it fly. Collins showed last year that the players are getting open, you just have to trust and throw.

Re: Redskins vs. Giants Game Thread 9/4/08
 

This game was rather disappointing. There is room for growth here. I do think the game plan left something to be desired and our expectations for a more exciting and imaginative offense were not fulfilled. The defense played hard. We will get better as everyone learns and grows. But I am not so sure I can learn to love the short passing game. We will get better.

For as excited I was before this game, I am very disappointed in the play of most everyone.

You took the words right out of my mouth Big C. I will never for the life of me understand why a team would throw a pass on 3rd down that isn't long enough to get the 1st, and we did that countless times tonight.

I just can't believe no one was open when Campbell had time to throw. I think JC was better and had time in the 2nd half. But the wideouts need to get open and they have to catch the ball.

The true test of zorn is how he overcomes adversity. He's got a long week ahead, he needs to adjust properly.
