First place Redskins

I will also say this.. and I hate bitching after such a great win. But Gruden and McVay are piss poor play callers. They call the game to get a few yards here and there, not to score points. The game today should not have even been close. Too many conservative calls throughout the game and NY was leaving our wr's on the outside 1 on 1 the majority of the game.

Plus Jackson is not even really a part of the offense. He wasn't even in the game that much. Grant might have had more snaps than Jackson. Why?? Have to drawn up more plays for him. Inexcusable.

Really impressed with the way the secondary played. A lot more man to man bump and run. Great game plan by Barry.

What happened was this team has sucked tremendously for about 20 years. Nkt everyone has the stomach for it.

I understand that but today was for 1st place in the division. No excuse for that sorry ass shit. That was not a home field advantage at all.

Fed Ex is horrible. Fan base is a complete joke and should be ashamed of themselves. Today was obviously a big game and I'd say it was 40% Giants fans. Behind the Giants bench I'd say it was more 50/50. I just don't understand why so many fans from the other teams are taking over Fed Ex. WTF happened to our fans that use to be among the best in the league?That was embarrassing today.

Also the dumb ass fans in 328 were yelling..'We want Dallas" while the game was still not even close to being won. Just a bunch of dumb ass clueless idiots.

Other then that I enjoyed the hell out of myself.

Was there as well and my god was this a home game for the Giants. The let's go defense chants were incredibly loud while the Giants were on D. Had a blast but what a joke.

I did enjoy asking several giants fans if they liked that throughout the walk to the car.

Great game, let's keep it up down the stretch.

I had season tickets ten years ago and it was the same experience. F-ing transplants

I think part of the problem is that there are a lot DC residents that come from other states, and often they are ones that can afford the games.

The crowd sounded pretty good on TV for what it's worth.

I agree with the gruden and mcvay criticism...and the only reason I can think why grant is out there is run blocking. But that's terrible IMO. You start to show tendencies if you play that game. D jax speed is threat enough on the field to hold the secondary attention...i.e. Spread the field to affect the run game.

Grant blew a terrible block on a run where we should have gained a first but ended a 3 and out in the 3rd.

Agreed. We actually came out on that first drive in the 3rd quarter aggressive and marched right down field but the drive stalled. After that, Gruden & McVay seemed to go into a shell and decided they would just try to slowly coast to a victory. That last drive where we were inside the Giants 20. Game was 17-0. It looked like we basically conceded kicking a FG there when a TD in all likelihood ends the game right then and there.

Also, re: Jackson. I totally agree. That guy is a threat to take the ball to the house any time he touches it, so why not draw up more plays specifically for him? I appreciate how he can get behind a secondary, but his acceleration is also other-worldly and if you send him on a crossing pattern and let him catch it in space he is likely gone as well or at least down half the field.

This was the point I was trying to make about Coordinators and the difference between designing an offense and being a good play caller. I don't think the Gruden/McVay combo has proved to be good at play calling as of yet.

Lil lockerroom leadership...good to hear.

Yes I wish we just threw it deep at least 5-7 times a game, DJax could get it. BUT Gruden said after the game that D. Carrier being hurt for some reason altered the personnel where they could do those plays. Not sure how that works, but agree we need more consistent downfield throws.

Loved the win, loved the first three quarters. Hope we go into playoffs, but more realistically -- hope this carries over to next season with another good offseason, we could be on our way to being a good consistent team.

BTW - we need a freaking running game. We did better but still struggled to run the ball again, with tons of zero-yard runs. We're built for a run-first offense but we're instead leaning too much on Kirk. He's done well but really need the run game to carry us. Recent games we've lost were the ones they stopped our run game & Kirk couldn't save us.
