Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread
 

I know, its hardly been 24 hours since we lost and people are still plotzing, but its a short week and we only have 3 days (or 4 if you count all day Thursday) until kickoff.

If you're ready to leave losing behind, let's take a gander at Thursday night's matchup.

Re: Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread
 

What's plotzing? Skins favored by 4. This is a MUST WIN with the Cards and Seahawks on the horizon. Need to win this and split the next 2.

Re: Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread
 

Plotz is yiddish, meaning to be beside yourself. Depending on context, it can mean bursting with excitement, anger, frustration, etc..

Re: Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread
 

EJ Biggers is listed behind D Hall on the depth chart.
Thats effing scary.

"Platzen" is a German word meaning literally "to burst". So yeah, a lot of folks did just that after Sunday's debacle...

Re: Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread
 

Don't want to drop to 0-2 in the division so early in the season. Big game, one I think we should win though.

Another way to look at is "We have only 3 days until a short kick-off."

Aren't I the clever boy?

Re: Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread
 

It's s short week for the Giants, too, plus they have to travel.

The Gnats have been struggling on both sides of the ball. I think we not just take them, we put a bit of a beatdown on them.

After that we'll have 10 days to heal some of our many injuries.

Skins 31
Gnats 14

Except when your team needs to get that bad taste out of their mouth and its against a lesser opponent at home, AND we get 9 days off before hosting the superbowl champs because we play on a thursday. Except for that eff em. Lol

I love the optimism, but aren't we playing the team that just beat Houston, the very team we lost to in the season opener a short 2 weeks ago?

Re: Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread
 

Can't start off 0-2 in the division. The Redskins will beat the Giants.

Yes but this is the NFL. That kind of topsy turvy crap happens all the time. The Raiders almost beat the Pats yesterday. So what? It was the first game of the year, and we did switch qb's midstream.
I think our offense picks up where it left off, and homefield helps our D.

Re: Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread
 

nothing would make me happier than skullf*cking the giants this thursday night. This time i would like Chris Baker to follow up the Foles incident by teabagging Eli on prime time national tv.

Quoted for eloquence!

Re: Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread
 

OK, with week 3 in the books, we have the #2 ranked offense and the #4 ranked defense in the league: [url=http://www.nfl.com/stats/team]NFL Stats: Team[/url]

I know it's early, and the D was not impressive yesterday (and played two pretty crappy offenses the prior two weeks), but man -- hard to imagine that many teams with those rankings would sport a losing record.

Let's get back to .500 on Thursday with a beat down of the Giants. Please!

Redskins: 28
Giants: 17

But this time, our running game gets us going, we force 2 picks from Eli, and special teams doesn't embarass us too much.

Re: Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread
 

I hate Thursday night games, it is bad for the players. Usually it is a bad game, too. But the home team does have an slight advantage, so it works for the Skins this time.

I took it as the "i want Griff to be the guy at all costs while we still win games as KC falls on his face dream"

Re: Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread
 

I doubt it happens this week, but we need to clean up penalties. I don't believe you can move to the next level when you are getting 10+ penalties every game (even in this current flag crazy NFL). And I think that's on the head coach to set that tone somehow (Please DON'T ask me well What would I do about them!).

We can't win if we play dumb, even if we expect the Giants to be dumber.

If RG is the QB yesterday the Skins get dusted by 30 points but this is a NYG post so,

Since this is a must win game I think the Skins do:
WAS 31
NYG 24

Re: Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread
 

i feel like we are limping into this with injuries and guys being generally banged up.

hall and hatcher are out. orakpo's hand and alfmo are being closely watched.

the eagles game had some much drama and roller coaster of emotions, it will be hard to re-focus on the giants.

home team on ThNF has a distinct advantage this year but we do not have to travel far. might even be able to sleep in their own beds wed night and head up to NYC thurs morning.

** divisional games should not be held on Thursday night. we are coming off a very physical game with the eagles only to turn around and play another NFC east foe 4 days later?

this has all the makings of a let down game for us (even though we are coming off a loss)

Re: Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread
 

^Giants are coming here.

It's impossible to predict this game without knowing who can play. Off the top of my head, Hatcher, Morris, Porter, Reed, Jordan, Lavuao, Forbath, and Hall are all banged up. Assuming most of these guys won't play, with only a few days between games, I say we probably lose. But I'll reserve my "official" prediction until we get the injury reports.

Hatcher is out?

Re: Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread
 

hatcher has a ham string injury. i don't believe he's been officially ruled out but it's hard to imagine he'll play on a short week.

this is a test for gruden, haslett and allen at this point. next man up. every other team deals with injuries. time to see how we deal with ours...

that's what I thought. I think he plays then gets a week and a half to rest

Re: Giants vs Skins Pregame Thread
 

i thought i heard chris russell say "hatcher is definitely out" this morning.

hope i heard wrong, i dont mean to start false rumors ... hatcher says he thinks it was more of a cramp than strain ...

lauvau's knee injury seems concerning

Does Baker face a suspension on top of the ejection? If so, who's up next at nose tackle?

If Baker does get suspended, we do have a couple of d-line guys hanging around on the practice squad. Otherwise... I'm not sure? Activate Golston and move around some dudes?

Redskins aren't scary , they have no secondary and there quaterback can be easily rattled
They both some weak defense the last two games and lost to the texans jj feasted on rg3
Idk about you guy but if we head to washington and play as hard as we did yesterday I don't
See why we don't get the W ,what do y'all think ??

giants fan forum. they seem like decent enough people. their concerns mirror ours - learning new offense and minimizing mistakes. i highly recommend going to igglephans, the place is a mess but some really funny guys over there
