Re: Skins vs Giants Pre Game Thread
 

We've all been mired in the bog and there are lots of downward sentiments floating around.

So, to brighten the board, here are a few thoughts of inspiration:

"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we may catch excellence"- Vince Lombardi

"We know what we are, but know not what we may be"- William Shakespeare

"Change your thoughts and you change your world" -Norman Vincent Peale

"Nothing in the world is impossible, the word itself says I'm possible" -Audrey Hepburn


With that said, my prediction is that the Redskins hit their stride this week.
We go on the road, into hostile territory & come away with a victory.

'Skins:31, Giants: 17

NOTHING is impossible !

Hail.

[quote=rocnrik;1099106]Gruden has 3 games to prove he gets another shot..if the Skins get blowed out in these games its over for Gruden and maybe a lot more changes are coming..my gut says redskins get beat over the next 3 games 100 plus points to under 50 for the skins…it starts this week GIANTS 38 WASH 14…PHILLY 45 WASH 17…DALLAS 31 WASH 14..THEN GRUDEN OUT..ALLEN OUT..RGIII TRADED..MORE TO COME[/quote]

If Gruden gets whacked, then Bring in Todd Bowles as the next HC.

[quote=DYoungJelly;1099124]Please define "regressing."

We were 3-13 last year. I think "stasis" is more appropriate.[/quote]

Somebody posted the link here somewhere. Compared to last year runnig game went from like 7th to 22nd this year and third down way worse. Offense got worse for sure. Defense had some good games this year but I wouldn't call it better than last year. Special teams got a little better too.

None of it's good enough though. Crap all around.

The Moses injury is really bad. Lisfranc's take a long time to heal.

[quote=Lotus;1099079]Every now and then, this year's team shows up to play (like in Dallas).

Skins 31
Giants 10[/quote]

Keep dreaming.

I have watched every Redskins game the last 20 years and I don't see us beating the Giants. The Giants own are sorry ass team except for Roberts rookie season.

[quote=Rotten1980;1099101]Eli seems to have his best games against us, it'd be a nice irony if we break that streak in the midst of this dumpster fire season.

Giants dline is trash, not that it will help our pass protection, but if Gruden has any sense left whatsoever he would pound the rock all game long.[/quote]

Gruden will not pound the rock because he wants to prove that Colt is better at QB in his offense than RG3 is. I mean if he wanted to just run the ball he could let RG3 hand the ball off.

Does it really matter about his injury? its not like he was going to beat out Compton or Trent at the RT or LT spot. We need a RT, RG, LG and Poss Center next season.

Re: Skins vs Giants Pre Game Thread
 

I want to see if this team has quit on Jay. If they have then why do we even bother bringing him back next season? I hate to see a 1 and done but if the players don't believe in him he has no chance of winning here. So watch closely to see who is giving all out effort. Now if we haven't quit but get our ass kicked again then we just don't have the talent and coaching is a major problem. Even if Jay stays Hasslet has to go.

he had a fair shot at winning RT or one of the guard spots.

[quote=DYoungJelly;1099123]Our Tight Ends are going to actually have to start touching the guys they are supposed to block for this to work.

I really don't understand why Reed and Paul aren't just split out as receivers or try to cut block the defender. They whiff on so many blocks. Paulson is good in the run but we give up a lot with him in the game. Defenses often ignore him.[/quote]

Reed just needs to be moved to receiver. Don't call him a tight end and ask him to block, because he can't.
