Redskins vs. Giants pre-game thread

[Bucket]

With all the injuries to the Giants defense it'll be like playing a 2nd team. I really don't see how we lose this game unless our own defense totally blows up and allows Eli to get hot. Not trying to be a homer, but this could be ugly Giant Fans, but you never know! Anyways, my pick.

Redskins 28
Giants 13

Grossman get's many people on the "Eff it, going deep" bandwagon after this game.

18/29 289 3TD/0INT

Injuries are a part of the game. Time for people to step up. Team sport. I hope we rip them a new one regardless

What's the news on Landry??

I'm really worried about our secondary... Eli kills us almost every one of the last 6 straight we've lost to the g men.. if our pass rush starts lacking and the secondary has to play a ton of balls I will be praying ... I will be at the game cheering my ass off! Lets go skins!!!! Httr!

Doesnt sound good from what i hear about dirty 30, but on the upside he still has 4 days to heal up. I love doughtys will and hardwork, but hes not laRon. Hes just always a step too late or a step behind or stumbling on the ground. We need LaRon

He's not talking. Well, sort of....he sent this tweet Tuesday:

“Uuhhh oo it ain’t my fault...blame the genius circus staff for the rush. wouldve been there 2wks ago. Im [sorry] but saga [continues],”

The tweet has since been deleted....

Almost sounds like he is blaming the Skins staff for a setback(?) I can't tell as I cannot understand a word the man says.

On Saturday, Landry tweeted, “Dont u hate when u absolutely know something 200% and dumb. . . still do the opposite of what u tell them!!! Set backs. . . !!!”

The message contained three vulgarities.

I personally think that Laron won't be back till week three....I also think Laron is not being very forthcoming about the situation.

To me, Laron is kind of a punk. I have always felt that. Things will one day go south with him and the redskins and it will not be pretty.

Sure, he's the hardest hitter on the team, but he does not make very good decisions for a safety imho.

Watch and try not to hit something! Ouch....

Watch the vid I posted, then defend his play. He was flat out awful at times.

I can deny it because it's true....Landry is kind of overrated.

As far as him being boneheaded....

NEW YORK — The NFL is looking into Eagles center Mike McGlynn's accusation that Redskins safety LaRon Landry spit at him.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Tuesday the league checks for video evidence any time there is a report of a player spitting on another during a game. Last week, the NFL did not fine Ravens fullback Le'Ron McClain after the Dolphins said he spit in the face of Miami linebacker Channing Crowder.

After Philadelphia's 59-28 victory at Washington on Monday night, McGlynn said Landry spit at him twice during extra points.

Landry denied spitting at McGlynn, saying: "I'm aggressive. I'm not that type of player."

Thanks, Mr Landry! Do your smack talk on the field next time.

As for the footage being two years old, you're telling my that LL is all better now? I don't buy it.

Good work....you found me out.

Look, I don't hate the man....he isn't one of my favorites, just pointing out that when I said that there wasn't that much of a drop off between LL and Reed....I was not kidding.

I see what you're attempting to say, but the thing is Doughty does not offer game changing plays, Laron does.

I'm used to people accusing me, everywhere I go, of being a dupe account. It's pathetic and it is always a complement to me. People feel threatened, so they attack me as a person instead of sticking to the subject.

Skins 23
Giants 17

Once again we have some red zone work to do

[Meks]

That's just not good news for us ... our secondary needs to step up or we wont win as many games as we think ...
Have a hunch Brandon Thompson or whoever steps up into a big role for us by week 5 .
