I hope thats not true at all. If I was playing on a 2-0 team more than anything I'd wanna pick up that 3rd win.

Thank you. Plain and simple this isn't a 16-0 team. Geeezzz...we have, what 13 games to get it right.

Skins will be fine. They'll come out of the bye week vs a Detroit team we should be beat.

This was a Giants team we should have beat.

Yep, and that is what is so frustrating...we can't afford to give away wins...its a shame.

I'm not going to waste more time second guessing, but I DO wish we took more chances down field earlier...the giants had given up 80 points in the first two games...they're secondary is very suspect...I was very surprised we didn't test them more (but mayb that had to do with the "new" right side of the O-line).

on a different point- Dallas is looking good...

Very true. By the way, I do think the coaching was very questionable at best.

See here's where I agree with you some and I agee with Rob some. It seems our staff, be it Gibbs or Saunders or whomever, can't get a feel for the game. What I'm saying is, we go in at half time and we're humming along pretty good and we have a little swagger, and we don't feed that in the second half.

It's something about the playcalling that "slows us down"...it's not that it's bad, but it doesn't feed the team's energy and attitude. I think that's the thing they have to grasp with this team. Sometimes I feel like Gibbs is forcing a round peg into a square hole with this squad. This is obviously theory on my part and no real facts to support this, but you can't tell me there's no quicker way to make a team play flat than to switch gears on them.

Another thing, Joe Gibbs football....I know what that means by definition, but we don't have Riggo and Jacoby and those guys anymore.

This is basically how I felt. This is a team we should have dumped 40 points on and in the second half both by execution and coaching we simply let them off the hook. Something tells me that the players would agree that we didn't go for the kill at any point. We seemed content simply let our defense hold on to the game. No seam routes or deep crosses. Nothing. Hand offs coupled with a few dump offs and screens plus some dubious execution killed us. I wont argue execution was good but I'd rather lose by poorly executing solid plays than by screwing up conservative play calling. See in the end if we are more aggressive maybe we can overcome some of the execution issues. Instead we play this keep it close stuff that leaves us no room for error at all.
