Gotta have some fun in here Goat and mix things up other than just the usual mundane stuff. Our lines have been playing subpar to average most of the season so, why do you think I am on or off Prozac to be able to observe that? Gmen lines are dominant end of story!! The Gmen destroy their opponents while we squeak by the likes of the Sea Chickens and Lions, even if we statistically dominate. Don't even get me going on the Rams!!!!!! To win we have to have supreme efforts by both lines and I haven't seen that yet this season. Our O line has had some nice games for sure, but both lines having stellar games hasn't happened yet. Let's hope come tomorrow night that I am eating some major crow, but for now I think we will need much more than an emotional lift to beat the Gmen.

I truly don't think you can pin the loss today on the o-line (and definitely not on the d-line). Overall, our defense honored Sean today w/ a great game. Sure there was the typical poor coverage from Smoot and a missed tackle here and there, but our defense did a great job against a Giant offense that had the ball for basically the entire game.

Eli didn't beat us. The Giant offense didn't beat us. The Giant defense didn't beat us. The Washington Redskins offensive unit lost this game. And while the o-line had some struggles against the very best defensive front 7 in defensive football our entire receiving corp looked like transfers from NAIA college football against a mediocre Giant secondary. GT's review will have the details but I saw dropped passes from every receiver save Thomas. I saw the ball bounce of hands, chests, shoulder pads and face masks. And then an interception by Campbell because he held on way too long like he always has. I don't know what can realistically be done to mend this. Sloppy play on offense and especially among the receiving corp is what lost us the playoff game last year, and the sloppiness/inconsistency just continues under a different coach and different strategy. I would love to hear anyone's ideas on this, any kind of explanation at all.

Well I agree JC has never been consistently accurate/effective. But my point is that most QBs will rack up nice yardage when they hold the ball all game long. We intercepted him and should have had 1 or 2 more than we did. Eli played an ok game, but I don't think we should downplay the fact that the Giants average 29.9 pts/game and our defense held them under the avg even though Eli had the ball all goddamn day. Seriously, our offensive unit gave us no chance whatsoever. Dropped passes left and right. No rush-blocking. JC holding the ball too long.

But one thing i'm relatively sure of - Zorn is not the problem on offense. If the execution was there... we'd be a competitive football team. Our execution is abysmal, as it's been under multiple coaching/scheme/strategy changes.

Perhaps we can have a nice friendly chat with Ely next game to characterize a more nuturing, caring type of play without words like "force him to beat us". And perhaps he won't have to KICK OUR ASS AGAIN...............
