Redskins-Giants Postgame Thoughts

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 12-31-2006, 12:07 AM

#1 I'm not sure what is wrong with the defense, but I hope Williams is starting to find some humility. I have not seen a worse Redskins defense in my entire life (and that includes Coach Edwards' defense). They can't tackle, force turnovers, stop the run, rush the passer, and they get penalties to boot.

#2 Betts is a very good back who could start for a lot of teams, but as long as he is careless with the football I'd prefer to see him remain a change-of-pace back. His fumble resulted in a 6-10 point swing.

#3 Andre Carter has been playing like a pass rushing stud for over a month now. Carter has racked up 4 sacks and a heckuva lot of pressures and tackles in the last 5 games. If only he were 15 pounds heavier and stouter against the run.

#4 Those who booed Mark Brunell's appearance on the field are classless. I'm ashamed to be lumped in together with them as a Redskins fan.

#5 Jason Campbell looks pretty solid. He is as elusive as any QB not named Michael Vick, Vince Young or Donovan McNabb. How many tackles did he shed to gain yards when pressure forced him out of the pocket? Moreover, he is as good at play-action and pump-fakes as any QB I've seen in the league.

I felt the same way about the booing...that was not right. We really need a linebacker and a Corner, for once...please leave the offense alone in the offseason

Valiant comeback attempt for a team just playing for pride. Defense just let us down again. If the defense can improve to mere average, and the offense continues at the pace it has been playing recently, next season could be special! Let's hope!

We were saying the exact opposite of that at the end of 2004.

Yeah, isn't it something. The defense was playing great that year and the offense sucked. Hopefully that's good news in that it won't take long to get that defense turned around. I think Williams will have a lot to prove next season, I think that big contract extension maybe went to his head.

Yes, Mr. Williams ego has come back to earth (unfortunately not his bank account) and if he isn't careful so is his reputation and job!

That's not true. We beat Minnesota to end 04 and Ramsey looked good in that game. We scored 21 points which was kind of the benchmark Gibbs had set for success. Plus we were returning one of the top defenses in the league.

I think he was meaning opposite as being...
'if our offense can just become average, our defense can carry us'
Whereas now we are saying...
'if our defense can just become average, our offense can carry us'

Oh okay....sorry...that makes sense

AlvinWalton'sNeckBrace · 12-31-2006, 12:13 AM

good grief...what an empty feeling...that was probably the last football game I'll watch until next season

12thMan · 12-31-2006, 12:14 AM

The defense? I hate to be the negative one, but I have little faith in Gregg Williams to turn things around at this point.

Jason sorta had his coming out party tonight. All for naught.

When we're hopefully making a playoff run next season (assuming the defense is turned around) Campbell's coming out party will definitely not be for naught! I'm glad this season is over (nightmare is over) and I look forward to things picking up from where we left off last season. There where a lot of negatives this season, but there were also some poignant positives as well!
