Oh yeah.

When Burress scored I was really dejected, but by the end of the game, I was encouraged that we went out as we did. Doesn't make up for the loss, but we didn't lay down after giving up the lead and that was comforting.

Another close one as expected. Great first half, flat in the second half, had a chance to tie at the end and failed to do so.

Lets not lose focus we have a QB that started less than 10 games in this league! We are 2-1 not bad, MOVE ON! Detroit after the bye this game is in the books. THE END.

This is the only thing we as fans need to take away from this game.

The Giants beat us. It was incredibly close.

Moving on now...

Well honestly if this team had given up after allowing the Giants to get ahead by one friggin touchdown I'd be a lot more pissed than I was before. I'm over it now, I needed a few hours to cool off but it's done with and it's in the past now. Now we just need to work on fixing mistakes and doing things better so we can have a good game against the Lions two weeks from now.

Horrible playcalling really throughout the game. To not be able to score more than 17pts at home against the league's worst defense is just not going to cut it. I could go on and on but it's just bad. I see a trend here 16 pts, 20pts, 17pts, ...we're not going anywhere this year by "trying to keep it close."

I'm not sure portis makes a difference there...giant d-line had great penetration...not surprising given that probably everyone knew we'd run left. poor, poor scene.

Like everyone else, i wish we took more shots against a Giant D that gave up 80 points in the first 2 games...and like everyone else, i believe we were too conservative on O, our D was too generous in yards given up...bottom line we lost and we shouldn't have...

Bingo. In my mind, the game-changing play was Clinton's fumble on 2nd down after the obviously tired defense had just forced a stop. That broke the defense's back and derailed any chance of the offense putting it together.

Everyone wants to pile on Joe for the playcalling, but let me ask a question: does anyone know where our receivers are? Seriously, other than ARE, I have not seen anybody really making huge catches this season. Santana seems like he's running at half speed with all the groin injuries. Cooley's been the invisible man other than last week's prayer in the corner of the endzone. Hell, I think Yoder has made as many big grabs as Cooley.

So playcalling? I don't know, Jason threw several deep balls on first down, late in the game that I felt were good calls. But our receivers were blanked by a pretty lousy secondary.

agreed with you that cooley seems to be surprisingly quiet...concerning

but as for play calling, i don't think people are taking issue with the calls late in the 4th quarter (When we were behind)- as much as they are annoyed with plays called in the previous drives...all game...

this is why it's hard to be a skins fan. same shit, different year. the giants are god awful, and we made a pathetic team look better than us. the goal line play-calling was ridiculous and the whole 2nd half for that matter. Now we have 2 weeks for our team to stew over this loss and focus on the negative. This could be a huge blow to our fragile team who was finally starting to gain some confidence. And all new yorkers can hit 95 North and go the fuck home.

I think Campbell played well enough for us to win. It's simple...someone needed to step up and make a play when the game was slipping away...it didnt happen. The GIANTS wanted the game more

We just couldn't get in any sort of rhythm offensively. Not sure if it was due to the play calling or a lack of execution. It was probably a combo of both, along with the Giants just stepping it up.

Yea, they stepped up only cuz we stepped back!!

That old mentality from when Gibbs was winning superbowls WILL NOT work in this league now!

You can not lay around and hope the clock runs out while you have the lead, and then expect the other team not to try and take over.

We lack that killer instinct that is necessary to put teams away in the league!

17-3 at the half, then we need to go for blood! Put em away and CRUSH them! FCuk this conservative, prehistoric, & obsolete playcalling mentality!

GIBBS we all know its you!!! Let big Al take over, or we will be back to the reason why you went out and got him in the first place - cuz the game has passed you by!

Just being real, while I am pissed!

Great post. This game leaves a bad taste in my mouth. To allow a team to comeback from a 14 point deficit at half time is horrible. It's even worse when it's your division rival that has done this to you before. That pathetic goal line play sequence is going over and over in my head just like the Groundhog Day movie. I gonna get sick! URHH!!!!

TOTALLY agree!
We have NO Killer instinct!!!
To put an opponent down, and keep him down
