Redskins v. Giants: Goat of the Week?

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 10-08-2006, 05:04 PM

Here are my goats of the week:

1. The offensive line, particularly Jon Jansen (who IMHO is overrated), could not give Brunell time.

2. Brunell can make plays when offered time, but when he's hurried he looks like a backup.

3. The entire defense.

4. Joe Gibbs, yup Gibbs himself is a nominee for goat of the week. Okay, it's not entirely fair to nominate him for goat of the week, but what was he thinking at the end of the 3rd quarter, when we were down by two touchdowns, when he decided to kick a field goal on 4th and 1?

It is Brunell, yeah the line wasn't too good, but Brunell can't expect 10 seconds of time each snap.

The entire team and coaches. I'm not going to point any fingers at any individuals because I think we stunk across the board. You win as a team and lose as one, and today was definitely a team effort for that loss.

MTK · 10-08-2006, 05:07 PM

If I have to listen to Brunell bashing all week I think I'm going to puke. If you can honestly say that he was the main reason for that loss I'm sorry that's just a very ignorant view.

Andre Carter - He had the best seat in the house. He watched todays game. Did he have a single tackle or QB hurry? He was manhandled in the running game. It is time to play Renaldo Wynn on 1st and 2nd downs and Carter on third and long. We over paid for Carter. We over paid for Archuleta.

Gregg Williams. for putting all his eggs in the Spring basket, letting go of Harris and Clark, and bad judgement on Carter and Farculeta.

he also called a bad, one-dimensional defensive game that didn't take a handful of ex-Redskins to figure out.

I think I have to disagree. Whenever another team makes an offense look like that it always starts with the QB plain and simple. He is too easy to scheme against and 3 times out of 5 this year that's exactly what has happened. I won't say anything else bad about Brunell this week but he is making me crazy. And yes that sure was a team loss of course.

Gmanc711 · 10-08-2006, 05:18 PM

The Redskins organization.

Everyone. Gibbs, Williams, anyone in the uniform, the front office, the fans (i'll admit I was pretty blah all day). That was terrible from top to bottom.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 10-08-2006, 05:19 PM

Matty,

I agree that our problems went far beyond Brunell today. He was definately not the sole or main cause of our problems, but he certainly was not part of the solution.

Brunell, to me, seems like a stopgap measure ... he's not a playmaker, he's a custodian who just oversees things. Whenever Brunell gets pressure he becomes inaccurate and just looks awful. He can look great, however, when all the other parts are working. It is just too bad that its rare that all the parts are in fact working. He's as inconsistent as our defense.

Well said!

And maybe just maybe the Giants played well.

itvnetop · 10-08-2006, 05:29 PM

Sorry, but this was a team letdown today... I'm surprised the score wasn't worse. Even though the giants dominated the stats, we were still in the game due to the field goal battle until the end of the 3rd. we couldn't stop any 3rd downs- the one that hurt was the 3rd and 15 or so that led to a TD.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 10-08-2006, 05:31 PM

The Giants did play well today. We played awful. That adds up to a win, and a deserved one at that, for the Giants.

Agreed. That was an ugly and lackluster game across the board. Very disappointing.

Its Brunell, he stinks! 109yds passing WTF? He is so inconsistent and no defense is afraid he is gonna air it out, cause he cant anymore. He probably should have had 2-3 picks, and just put up and ugly display, its going to be an ebarrasing work week.
