Unfortunately all that I can seem to think about is that td catch from ODB. That was awesome. With about 10 minutes left in the game my buddy (giants fan) goes "well this sucked". I said dude there is alot of time left. You guys are going to score and get the ball back with about 7 minutes left and score again. Than proceeded to utter the words "what did I tell you" over and over again.

Perry Fewell folks, Perry Fewell. Been saying it all season, the secondary has been "the surprise" ....Will Blackmon, Rookie Jarrett, Breeland, Goldson, and Hall have been solid. Quinton Dunbar could be the next guy to step up.

Re: First place Redskins

How old is Blackmon? He has been a gem of a pickup. Dude has come in and played safety and corner and is one of those players that has a knack to always be around the ball when a big play is about to be made.

I was ready to give up on football if we blew that game.

Re: First place Redskins

Giantone is a closet skins fan! I would definitely say the giants lost that game because of their crippled oline, we got pressure all day and never let Eli really get comfortable. Plus you guys literally have 1 guy on offense that can make plays consistently. It's not over though, skins still need to handle dallas

Re: First place Redskins

Already over the media's reaction to the game. On ESPN's blitz they treated the narrative as this game being the NYG's chance to "establish their dominance over the division" Excuse me? Let's assume they had won the game, did that suddenly make them "dominant over the division" Sorry, but all four teams in the division are in a relatively similar boat although for different reasons. It felt like they were in pain going over the game highlights and they treated Odell's great catch like it was the most important thing that happened during the game.

They are treating the game as if the lowly 'Skins pulled off some kind of miraculous upset win over the division mainstay. Now look, I know as a franchise we have been very mediocre (if that even) for awhile, but in 2015 to act like we aren't even up to par as a team vs our own equally mediocre division is pretty insulting.

Whatever though, I can't wait for most "experts" to pick the Cowboys to win next week so we can go through another post-game of silent exacerbated looks and dumbfounded takes.

Look, I know whoever wins the NFC likely does it with no better than an 8-8 record but who cares, .500 and sub .500 teams have hosted and WON playoff games in the past.

It's hard to justify using the word dominance, but a Giants win would have meant a 2-game lead for the division, which is fairly commanding at this point in the season. It also would have meant the Giants earned the season sweep of the Skins, so to catch them this is what we would have needed:

- Giants go 2-3, we go 5-0
- or Giants go 1-4, we go 4-1
- or Giants go 0-5, we go 3-2

So it was an absolute must win for us. And we did. I like that.

Re: First place Redskins

The losses and wins for this team are pretty interesting. I know we keep hearing the home/away record, but the broadcast team yesterday highlighted the difference in the level of competition between away and home. Below are our wins and losses viewed with their current win loss record:
Games we lost
4-7
5-6
6-5
6-5
10-1
11-0

Games we won
4-7
4-7
5-6
4-7
5-6

Games remaining:
3-8
5-6
5-6
4-7
3-8

3 of those are division games which always have more than just the current records, but all of the games are winnable, and if we did win them all we could conceivably be 10-6. I think 8-8 is still more likely, but looking just by level of competition we have every reason to think we could win them all.

Eagles are not 5-6 they are 4-7

Just saw this. Agree 100%, per my previous post.

Re: First place Redskins

One of the biggest problems with the road game performances have been turnovers. We don't protect the ball well on the road.

Our remaining away games are Chicago, Philly, & Dallas. All winnable games if we protect the ball.

We cant run the ball or we seem disinterested in attempting to run the ball on the road as well. Jay and staff need to fix the road issue.
