In a nutshell I expected the Skins to be better then the Giants. I bought in to the fact the Giants have no WR's, they have key injuries, our O-line was boosted, and we have better weapons this yr. Totally bought it. Sold. I still don't think the Giants are better, I think the Skins allowed them to physically man handle them to get them off their game. Moss was upset, Landry was upset, just to name a couple. I expected to see a lot of Kelly, a little of Thomas, some of Davis, and perhaps a lot of Mitchell in the red zone. I mean Mitchell is practically taller then everyone which makes for a good target.

If Zorn was having trouble getting the runs in, no different then when we play the Steeler's, Eagles, Ravens, Titans...etc. They have big defensive lines. It's a clue to send the RB around the D-line and get the ball to him so he can get up field. The whole game the run only worked twice. Send Portis out. Get him into open space.

The play calling was atrocious. Run, Run, Pass, Punt. Go figure. Zorn, here's a quick tid bit.....if the run is not working PASS. Get something going. and yes I noticed JC looks to feel more comfortable in the shot gun also. I guess cause he does not have to count steps while back peddling, look at the rush, check the defense, and get the pass off. To much for him to think about.

They can also go 4 or 5 wide and run from that formation. Or run from shot-gun. Or go no-huddle in the first quarter. Or pass on first down. They're just so friggin predictable. I believe the ball never crossed the plane of the end zone through the air until the pass to Cooley. That's ridiculous. I want to see balls fall incomplete (better yet complete) in the end zone BEFORE the 4th quarter.
