Yeah, I don't know how often they are actually targeted and it just doesn't work out, but sure seems like Garcon and Jackson are underused.

Re: First place Redskins
 

Oh trust me having a perennial loser will do that. I have been to Raider's games when Washington is in town and I swear there was barely 10-15k there and of those, 75% seemed to be 'Skins fans. It was so embarrassing that I actually felt a little bad and akward being there as a 'Skins fan and not for the usual reasons.

I tell you what, if Quinton Dunbar plays like today for the rest of the season, we just might have found our complimentary CB to Breeland. Dunbar has size and speed and is smart. Another great find and whoever the coach (Fewell?) who decided to convert him to CB is a genius!!

This sucks, he suffered a broken and dislocated finger today:

When it was 20-14 late in the game and we got the ball back, Giants fans were making so much noise that it was like an away game for our offense.

Snyder seriously needs to GTFO out of Fed Ex. Another discussion for another day...

I doubt he misses anytime

Re: First place Redskins
 

What a great victory yesterday!
Feels good to be relevant in the NFC again.
I don't think anyone expected us to be in first place this late in the season.
Don't really have super high expectations, just happy to be playing some meaningful games in December.
HTTR!

To all the Skins and their fans congratulations on a very nice win,they out played the Giants in every facet of the game !:)

[quote=MTK;1130609]The schedule is definitely in our favor. Gotta win some road games, obviously, but not having to face teams like the Pats or Panthers will help. I'm calling 9-7.[/quote]

I can definitely see that happening. IMO this team is gaining confidence each week and I think if they get a home game in the playoffs will win it.

You are a stand-up guy, Giantone.

In your opinion, WTH happened to the Giants yesterday? How could they not be ready to play in the first half? That was a big game for both teams! The Giants could have put some distance between themselves and the rest of the division, yet they came out flat.

I have to say, finding a WR and converting him to CB and coaching him up in a short amount of time is impressive. What really encourages me is in the article mentioned that he has worked hard on his technique and he listens to his coaches and teammates. It has not been since the JKC era that would find players that can come off the bench or waiver wire and contribute. Good job by the FO and coaching staff.

Re: First place Redskins
 

Perry Fewell folks, Perry Fewell. Been saying it all season, the secondary has been "the surprise" ....Will Blackmon, Rookie Jarrett, Breeland, Goldson, and Hall have been solid. Quinton Dunbar could be the next guy to step up.

I agree. This organization pissed away a lot of its fan base with 20 years of terrible play. If they want the fans to come back all they have to do is win.

Re: First place Redskins
 

How old is Blackmon? He has been a gem of a pickup. Dude has come in and played safety and corner and is one of those players that has a knack to always be around the ball when a big play is about to be made.

Unfortunately all that I can seem to think about is that td catch from ODB. That was awesome. With about 10 minutes left in the game my buddy (giants fan) goes "well this sucked". I said dude there is alot of time left. You guys are going to score and get the ball back with about 7 minutes left and score again. Than proceeded to utter the words "what did I tell you" over and over again.
