ES Coverage & Interactive Game Day Thread: 2012 Redskins vs Giants (Final)

[AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy]

We're right where we need to be. We missed a couple of opportunities for TDs, and we badly need a turnover.

For those that are complaining about our defense, is this the first time you've seen us play this year? We've been winning in spite of our defense. It isn't as simple as saying our defense needs to do such and such...they don't have the horses on that side of the ball. Period. We'll need a couple of breaks to take this one, but I wouldn't count us out.

Must just be me, I thought there was still another half to play, some people sorely underestimate what Griffin is capable of

[TheGloryDays]

Yeah this game has been generally sickening... watching the Giants drive for 25 minutes (a guess at ToP?) with almost no resistence makes this feel more like a 30 to 10 game, not a 13 to 10 game.

[Taylor703]

I love London Fletcher but he cannot cover TE at all.

[CounterTrey]

I just wanted to let all of you in case you somehow forgot that this defense is ****ing pathetic

I love London but bro has got to retire after this year.

It actually takes away the fun of watching the game

[CapnRedskins]

Guys we're gonna lose just deal with it.

[s0crates]

The defense giving up so many third downs is frustrating, but holding them to field goals is progress. The offense has to play better in the second half if we want to win this game.

[Destino]

Worse defense Ive ever seen in DC

DC? They are on pace to be the worst pass defense ever.

[TheGreek1973]

And they bad thing is...they get the ball to start the second half. Who among us think this D can actually stop the Giants..

[RichmondRedskin88]

If haslett doesn't learn how to coach it's over second half. Giants get ball first.

[I_Bleed_B&G]

Where is Kerrigan tonight. He needs to show up for big games

[skinpride1]

JIM Hasslet you freakin suck.....You are the worst defensive coach I have ever seen. ELI Mannings jersey looks like he just put it on before the game... not one freakin ...grass stain on it cause your suck tail schemes cant get one sand lot player free to take Eli down!!! Im sick of watching him have all day to unload the ball.........

[rougeskins]

They need to totally rebuild this defense.It is absolutely terrible!

[NoCalMike]

This game will still probably be close, but the only hope the 'Skins have is for defense to hold NYG to field goals the rest of the way out, and score TDs on offense, because the pass rush is too non-existent to keep the Giants from getting a lot of yards, you just have to hope they can clamp down in the red zone.

The pass rush is just embarrassingly bad. Eli drops back, and is under no rush or pressure at all. It's obvious the secondary has some people covered because it's not like Eli is throwing right away, rather he is just sitting back there and waiting for an eventual option to break free. It's pathetic.

[Voice_of_Reason]

That was bad clock management when Morris ran for 1 yd and Shanahan called a TO. Hurt us bad there

Absolutely 100% correct. Almost a criminal mistake. If the 'Skins lose by 3. That's a HUGE reason why. The Giants should never have seen the field again. OR, if Coughlin was smart, he would have used a TO. But, that's kindof a win also. With 40 seconds and 3 TOs, and a veteran like Eli, that's an eternity.
