Skins/Giants post game thread

Hall literally plays 10 yards off of every receiver and gets beat, and Williams is the worst starting free safety in the NFL. He just watched Cruz run right by him. He wasn't covering anyone he was just standing there. I knew we scored too fast, I thought Giants would drive down for a tying field goal, but against our secondary you can just throw a 77 yard TD pass and skip the rest. I'm not even mad about the loss. More like disappointed, but also a realist. This is a year to make improvements and next year I think Skins will be in the playoffs. Got the Panthers hoping to town, really hoping to get to 4-4.

Not quite there yet on the schedule dude, we gotta go to Pittsburgh next week. Yeah their defense is old but I can just imagine what Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown could do to our secondary. They are still a tough team to beat.

Plus - RG-3 (even though the turnovers - hey its the Giants d in their house) - continues to grow up on a weekly basis. I think it is scary how good he is going to be as the season progresses. Plus maybe Garcon and BW come back. Skins will win the division - im thinking 4-2 in the division.

I agree with almost everything but the giants statement, we are not better than them, they have all elements of the game to win and we don't yet...

Skins won't make the playoffs because the east will only get one team in and that's the giants.

Nfc north will have 2 teams, hell maybe 3. (Min, chi and gb) all are really good. Nfc west has SF and then the south has ATL so that's y we won't get in IMO.

How can you toast to the thought of not making the playoffs. LOL . I really cant sit here and say the Giants are a better team than us after what I saw today. We absolutely gave the game away and it was an away game. I dont think that the Skins winning the East is so far fetched. We are only two games out and we do play the Giants at home still.

I don't toast it, I just agree with skinsfaninoks statement. Everyone here wants the Skins to win. Some of us have just been down this road a little longer. Anything can happen but had the Skins and the Giants both played their best, Giants would still come out on top this season. They are just a more complete team.

Ive been a fan since the late 70's - seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Not sure how you can make that statement though about the Skins and Giants because if we play our best today we beat them in their house>? 5 turnovers - and we were a minute from beating them?

5 turnovers and we were literally an inch from beating them in their house -we gave that game away. I think we beat Dallas twice, I think we split with the Eagles and beat the Giants at home. 4-2 in the division. We really need a win next week before the bye. We heal and have a 4-4 mark with 5 division games left. Im holding out hope on a division crown this year.

Well, do you think the Eagles and Cowboys are better than us? I dont. After the game you just watched - do you think we have a shot to beat the Giants at home? - I do. So we are two games out of the division lead with FIVE division games in hand. We have a quarterback and also overshadowed is that we have a field goal kicker. Our d is obviously a liability. The Giants D got gashed today - gashed. Ask Eagle fans what they think of their D. Ask Eagle fans what they think of their O? Ask Dallas fans the same questions. There is ABSOLUTELY no clear cut favorite in the NFC east. The Giants are currently 1-2 in the division (barely). So do not tell me they are running away with anything.

- I don't think they're better than us either, but that doesn't mean we don't beat ourselves and lose. Oh and Michael Vick is undefeated against us when he plays a full game. We just can't seem to beat him or get to him (and thats with Orakpo)

- The guy makes 3 field goals and all of a sudden we have our FG kicker? PLEASE! Billy Cundiff went 4/4 against the Saints and we 'had our FG kicker'

-True there is no clear cut favorite, but a lot of football fans would go with the Giants since they have a DL that can get pressure, a QB, and were just in the super bowl last year when nobody thought they were the favorite to go to the playoffs or even the super bowl.

Thought Coefield and Riley had good games today. Reed was decent.

Thought the Oline was decent again today. Polumbus just sux.

I would say split with all three teams IMO. We are much better than years previous but u have to understand that our d won't change it's dead last for a reason.

Can we all agree that two NFL players should be able to guard one receiver? Jesus christ if i tell my starting corner and safety to guard one person (one person that everyone and their mother knows can stretch the field like pizza dough) i expect them to cover him. It was 2 on one, short pass long pass medium pass behind the back rocket pass whatever, he should not have been an option.

Sometimes the difference between first place and last place is simply having a safety who can run.

Good job, good effort, RG3.
