Per cbssports.com:

[I][B]Giants holding a fire sale[/B]

"La Canfora reports the Eli Apple deal was just the "tip of the iceberg" for New York, and the Giants could ultimately set up shop on the side of the Turnpike and try to dump off as many players as possible."[/I]

This makes me wonder about the Giants' players state of mind going into Sunday's game.

[QUOTE=CRedskinsRule;1204400]5 of those games are against division opponents where season records mean less. Houston just put 42 on miami and the afc south has been strong against the nfc east. Our 4 early wins help, but i see us ending with 9 wins, less if our second half issues continue on offense[/QUOTE]Yeah right now I don't see us beating Houston. It seems both their offense and defense are getting better throughout the season. We'll see how losing Will Fuller hurts them but Deshaun Watson has been making some pretty impressive plays.

[quote=FrenchSkin;1204373][B]Not even sure you need that much Kool Aid to see the Skins getting to 11 wins[/B], a little sip may be enough... don't see us getting there the same way skinsfaninok does, but if the Skins play up to their potential, they could get there.[/quote]

C'mon M-a-a-a-n! Don't go batty on me, Frenchy. I would need to drink a fifth of Kool Aid flavored vodka in one sitting to see 11 wins for the Skins at this time.

The Skins have not shown enough consistency to win 11 games. I need to see a complete game in all three areas, offense, defense, and special teams to predict anything more than the 8-8 I already predicted.

Also, if we beat the Giants tomorrow, then the FO [U]must[/U] step up and make a significant trade or two to strengthen our personnel for a playoff run. Sadly, I don't trust our FO to do the right thing and support Jay Gruden by upgrading personnel where it is most needed for this season.

Ask Kerrigan if he gets held a lot:

But.

Looking at the schedule, is it so irrealistic to think we could win 7 of the remaining 10?

I'm only concerned about how we play and not about the schedule. Right now, the Skins have not shown that they can be consistent enough win 11 games. All of this talk of winning 11 games will vanish if we lose to the Giants tomorrow.

That would be a huge mistake

He has ran it to a fault on 1st downs.

From that standpoint the Redskins doesn't look like an 11 wins team, I agree.

Add to that a big part of 4-2 are back to back wins where the outcome was in doubt down to the final seconds and the offense is relying quite a bit on a 33 year old running back.

I think you have good reason not to trust Gruden's decision-making. Add to that we don't know how Manusky will game plan and call plays against the Giants.

I'd like to think that our coaches were developing a "formula" for winning that creates a team "identity" but I don't. We don't have a team "identity" and I don't trust our coaches to find and stick with what works for us.

Make no mistake, this is a critical game for the direction our season will take from here on. It is a defining game for both our players and our coaches.

Re: Giants Pre Game Thread (Version1)
 

From Keim:

Without CB Quinton Dunbar, the Redskins will be short-handed vs. a strong receiving corps. It's not just Odell Beckham, either. Sterling Shepard has caught 36 passes for 508 yards and two touchdowns. Shepard does a good job creating separation. Shepard, Beckham and tight end Evan Engram can pose problems for any pass defense, especially one without a starting corner. Fabian Moreau has played well in the slot and, last week, was on the outside in the base defense. They'll need backup Greg Stroman to play well in three-receiver sets.

Re: Giants Pre Game Thread (Version1)
 

a healthy Chris Thompson makes all the difference, big reason we tanked end of last year. hope he can rev up the offense
