I get emotional about this stuff, but some of the stuff I have read on this site is unbelievable. Were there some horrible play calls? Yes. Were there some horribly executed plays? Yup, and in the end, we made more bad plays than good ones. Keep things in perspective. We're 2-1 and with a Bears win, we'll be tied for first in the division. Try to chill out and realize that the season is young, both units have shown cause for optimism (albeit not unbridled optimism), and that each game, by itself, doesn't decide the fate of the season.

i agree that the season is still young and we are 2-1 and most of us would have taken this record into the bye before the season started. but we played to conserative on offense in the second half with the lead. and we have all seen this before this is the way gibbs coaches games when we have a lead.

Seriously, one loss and the sky is falling again. Lordy.

Called passion. Like my coach is HS used to say, "you are never as good as you think when you win, but never as bad as you think when you lose."

The bottom line is this was a game we had to win. The reeling Giants at home. If we're going to be contenders, this was a game we had to have to effectively knock out the Giants and keep pace with Dallas. The fact that this game was at home makes it even worse.

ummm can u say put portis in the god damn game when its on the line get the fuck outta here he is the best down there especially getting to the corner like they were trying fucking MORON ass decision by gibbs not to have clinton on BOTH those faggot ass runs.... fuckin pissed me off fuckin bullshit ass offensive play calls/ personell decision making.

[Meks]

thats a bad coached game... not enuff blitzes.. at right times... not enuff deep throws b4 the 2 minute drill.... BullShit

Not on here to be a d!ck. It was a great pair of games. The skins won the first game, the Giants won the second. Iw as reffing today, got home around 5:30 showered and started watching. Just finished. I almost just turned it off at half-time, thought the skins were really going to run it up. Still can't believe that was the same D that played the previous 2 1/2 games.

That was some sorry Offenece in the second half.
We gave that game away, it was ours and we just gave it away.

Grrrrrrr!!!!

Hail Skins!

Poor Second Half Effort By Skins....give The Gaints Credit.. They Did Not Back Down...and Deserve To Win This One.

I'm not saying the season is over, but the Giants just provided the rest of the league a blueprint as to how to beat us. Even after our first two wins my mindset was that we had yet to see how this whole bend but don't break defense was going to handle a good offense like the Giants, and clearly it doesn't work. I want us to be a good team this season but we're pretty inconsistent if you ask me, and inconsistency doesn't work in this league. Everyone was talking about how good we were on third down on offense and defense, and it meant absolutely nothing because we were destroyed on third down today on both sides of the ball.

We got beat plain and simple...time in the bye to correct.

[Meks]

i'll say it again, since no1 wants to acknowledge the fact that CLINTON PORTIS WAS NOT IN ON THOSE HAND OFFS

BULLLLLLLSHIT.

BYE.

Trick is to have fun..win or lose. The season is still new and anything can happen.

A 14 point lead in the NFL is not anything significant. Teams come back from that type of deficit all the time.

True enough. The Cardinals came back and almost ended up stunning the Ravens. And that was at least a 21 point defecit.
