I know something you don't know: Redskins-Giants first half quick hits

Nice analysis.

If we had a good pass rush, our DB would look better.

The Giants are just a better football team now. Unless we played at a top level and got some breaks we weren't going to win.

Dropped balls, penalties and missed open WR plagued this offensive. We're near the bottom in the NFL on offense for many reasons.

Unless the played at a top level and got some breaks we weren't going to win. We did get a ton of breaks in this game. The weather was a pass pressure equalizer, taking away their greatest strength while leaving ours untouched. Burress did not play, and neither did Fred Robbins (I believe).

So if we were ever going to handle the Giants, Sunday was going to be that day.

Agreed completely. We didn't take advantage of them and we lost. Our offense is below average and so our the ST. The defense can't win this game alone.

Glad to see I am not the only one here who thinks DeAngelo Hall is only marginally competent as a cover corner.

I didn't have a problem with us blitzing Manning. W/out Burress, we should've been able to cover their wr's one on one and we just didn't do it. I think the coaches were trying to force the issue against a better team. Maybe get some turnovers and sacks to help our high school offense w/ better field position. Manning just made some great throws. Rodgers played like shit and let Hixon abuse him. I do think NY is better coached and they are a better organization than we are. But the Giants d-coordinator is a champion because of Osi, Strahan and Tuck. Let's not make him out to be some kind special coach with a magic wan.

The Giants are playing without Strahan and Osi this year and are 11-1. IN eight quarters, the Redskins scored 14 points on that defense. They - and the defensive coordinator - are getting the job done this year too.


And if you want to denigrate his coaching on last year's championship team by saying he had all those star players so of course he did well, then I'm sure you'll agree with me that Joe Bugel is a dunderhead too. After all, when Bugel won titles he had nothing but Pro Bowl players on the OL (May, Grimm, Jacoby, Lachey, Bostic).


Here's the deal. Good players make good coaches look REALLY good. That is the situation that Steve Spagnuolo finds himself in with the Giants. He is a good coach and a good coordinator and the Giants have built a defensive unit that plays well together. He didn't do all of that; he played a part in all of that. Same goes for just about every other coach on every other winning NFL team.

LOL,there ya go ,we have a winner.No you guys miss my point to see the true production ya remove the best and the worst play and then you get the real average.(not whining,really)

Football is not a game of average plays though bud. The teams that can make big plays are more likely to win games.

Right but the post was trying to explain how good the O was not win or lose.

I'm not denigrating him. But Tripp was basically making it out that Spagnulo was some kind of genious or something. And Blache was an idiot for blitzing Manning. I'll just put it this way. Spagnulo is a good coach, but his job is much easier than Blache'.

As always, fantastic breakdown GTripp (I appreciate these more and more).
