Had to be fixed

Seriously? How could we NOT get up for this game? This was the biggest game our franchise has played in a good 5 years, and they came out and played like it was like a high school scrimmage. We are playing for our lives next week. If we fall to 4-4, were in trouble.

Agreed! This is why I felt it was so important for us to have picked up a victory against either Denver or Kansas City when we had the chance. It is always tough for us to win in our division, and this game was a huge step backwards for us. Now, we have to prepare for the Eagles next week, and then division leading Tampa Bay the following week. I believe if we lose next week, we're in trouble.

Maybe we should be asking how could we have matched the Giants' emotion today.

Just wasn't possible, they were playing not only for the division, but for their beloved owner.

Tough task to expect the Skins to match that determination.

Well when I think you should take that into account, I dont think you can overlook how flat the Redskins looked. To be completley honest, I was very scared of the Giants this week for that very reason. However, I still think you can't hide the fact that the Redskins just looked like a lost, blind dog out there. Their heads just werent in it.

We've always had trouble in the Meadowlands, but I was truly shocked by the lackluster play of the Skins - the penalties, dropped passes, missed tackles and turnovers.

All in all, a terrible outing by our team. Yes, the Giants had a lot of emotion in this game, but so should have the Skins. After all, this was a divisional game and we were tied for first. If we can't get up for a game like that, I don't know what we can get up for.

Next week is crucial to this team. Two divisional losses would be deadly. Thank God we're back home.

I was concerned about this game, but I honestly thought we'd be in it until the end. Instead, we were out of it from the beginning.

Very disappointing play by the entire team. It's not often that a Gibbs team gets so severely routed.

I agree. That's what bugs me most. This was probably our biggest game since the '99 TB playoff game and we come out with THAT? Extremely disappointing.

Let me write this without using a lot of vulgarities because it won't change how I feel about this humiliation before 70,000 people. I read today in the New Jersey's Starledger that Antonio Pierce gave the Giants offensive staff the Redskins defensive packages and what they are more likely to do in every situation based on their formation. Now I know it's not illegal to share what he knows, but what was going through Greg Williams' mind when he saw Barber run in the opposite direction on the first play of the game?

It sure as hell wasn't boy Antonio must have given our plays up to these bums. How can a defense ranked next to last in the league stop the run, stop the pass and sack the QB at will? When you have a motherfucker on the other side of the ball that not only played on defense, but translated the plays to his teamates from his armband which he was given credit for by us as being an intelligent player. If Arrington is let go and goes to Dallas, Philly or the Giants our defense as we know it is finished. I'm willing to bet that Pierce made a couple of duplicates of our plays and distributed them to his fellow coaches like crack at a Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston party. No good Bastard!

Sunra, i think your giving way to much credit to antonio peirce, he's not the first guy in the history of the nfl to change teams you know. did he help his team some? yea but not to the extent that you suggest.

how did the 49ers beat the bucs yesterday? do the 49ers have the bucs middle linebacker from a year ago?

I think you underestimated the loss of Antonio Pierce like the Redskin coaching staff did. Pierce was the key player in the defense last year. He related the plays to the defense and was given a lot of credit for his knowlege of the game. If Pierce's input was not essential then why did Barber mention it after the game?

Tell me how the 31st ranked defense all of a sudden plays a perfect shutout against a 2# offense unless they have an ingenius grasp of that teams playcalling?

Pierce went to an rival team in our division and stated in an article on Friday that he wanted to hurt the organization because he felt disrespected after a deal could not be agreed upon. So the Giants was a great way to accomplish that task. Pierce is not the first player in the NFL to play in the same division, however he was one of the most important components to the success of the defense. Remember he had 160 tackles last year.

i don't underestimate the loss of pierce i just think you OVERESTIMATE it. sure he new some things about how to attack our defense and he might have even known a few plays that the offense liked to run out of certain formations and such but i credit AP with only about 5% of the giants victory. the skins lacked effort, intensity, desire, passion, the will to win. the skins could not match the giants passion, the giants were not going to play bad after the passing of their beloved owner. the giants came out swinging and the skins did not punch back, AP had nothing to do with any of that.

don't get cought up too much in the numbers game regarding the rankings of their defense versus our offense or vicaversa, numbers mean absolutly nothing when one teams plays with fire and the other team plays effortless.
