Fred Smoot cant cover anyone. to our coaching staffs credit, after Toomer's touchdown, he rarely stepped on the field.
our offensive line is just that, offensive. cant block anyone. i pity Chris Samuels. he did a pretty good job
the play calling is all over. never really got into any kind of rhythm
Jason Taylor is worthless. coach Blatche moved him all over the field, trying to free him up. still, no impact
why the 45 yard field goal attempt at the end of the half? i watched Suisham warm up. at that end of the field, he was barely making 40 yarders. why not run one more play, trying to get a couple of more yards?
why all the fans in the parking lot. half of the stadium was empty for just about the entire game.
back to back screen plays, and then the big reverse. i don't think i saw another screen the rest of the game
Eli Manning( i hate to say it) is a ton better then i ever gave him credit for. he made play after play on 3rd down keeping drives alive.
and Jason Campbell. all i can say is... im not so sure. his decision making was really bad. time after time, the skins had 3rd and long. and he continued to make 2 and 3 yard passes.
and the pass that was over turned by replay. the ball hit the ground. now remember, im looking at a big screen that's of horrible visibility
the last thing. D'angelo Hall played a pretty solid game. should be starting. it seemed like Shawn Springs played alot of safety yesterday

Sadly, everything you mentioned is conveyed via TV except the possible terrible coverage of Smoot is our only saving grace b/c he leaves the screen 1 second after the snap.
Watching at home everyone saw the
-2yd passes, paying tribute to Brunell era
-Eli must have been tutored the past 2 years from Peyton but he is executing with a brain now.
-JCampbell is relapsing into the a nightmare
-SSuisham needs to be indoors to get a decent KO or make a FG.
-And worst of all Jason Taylor is void. I think he is getting paid like $8 million or so. And wedid it at the additional cost of a 2nd rounder.

The ownership has to set aside 1-2 years and accept reality.Its okay to average its okay to admit work needs to be done. During that time we sensibly find ourselves and accept it. Address what needs to be addressed. We should agree on a scheme for the team and let that be the blueprint for the future. Draft and build within b/c there is such a thing as players past their heyday and they know it themselves but they quietly collect the check. Patience will pay off more than panic and sign JTaylor. I dunno maybe if he teaches our cheerleaders to Salsa or something but that money could very well have gone to feeding the homeless and the tax writeoff would net more in return.


To be a Skins fan is to be disappointed and to hear the snickering from peers in our community.
