I thought the Redskins offensive line did a great job keeping Griffin III healthy and upright. The Giants defensive front are great at penetrating and Griffin III got rid of the ball in time to avoid sacks. But the Giants pass rush is almost impossible to completely contain.

Also a lot of those hits were clearly after Griff had released the ball, some may have been, but I'm not calling roughing the passer cause i don't expect anyone to be able to stop their momentum in mid air after sprinting as hard as they can at someone.

I'd say the line managed fine, Now Trent did miss one arm tackle that they highlighted on TV but other then that his blocking was stellar all around getting to second level blocks on almost every play.

I really hope there's some way we can keep him. He and RGIII are obviously working well together and i think switching offensive coordinators would only stunt the offense. I can't imagine someone else coming in and doing as good a job as Kyle.

I guess it really depends on how long Mike plans to coach. If we really just wants to coach out the rest of his contract, then i could see snyder/allen convincing Kyle to stay if they promised making him the HC when his dad retires. If Mike has no intention of retiring anytime soon, then Kyle is gone... and i'm worried he'd go to Philly or Dallas.

I'm more worried about Roman or Gruden going to Philly or Dallas. And I still think it's basically irrelevent who schemes our offense. We have the most dynamic QB in the league right now and plenty of talent surrounding him. If this regime can get the defense right (top 10 say) we'll be a contender for the SB, but that's the big ? at this point.

Offense can't pass protect but the Giants had no sacks last night. Man Goat is a dumbass.

Irrelevant unless it's a failed play...then it's Kyle's fault right?

What are the odds that dally drafts that QB up for the Heisman this year to copy us.....

Sounds like a sure fire Jarrah move to me.

Him or Barkley.

Looking forward the Seattle schedule really worries me. They could be 10-6 a whole lot easier than we can, they have Arizona buffalo San Fran and the rams and all but buffalo are home games...

That's what I meant the hits came just after the release. The first one was just nasty.

Huh? Pay attention to the games kiddo, RG3 got smashed several times. Who cares whether he's holding the ball at that moment the slams are still going to take their toll.

To put it in reverse, Manning was sacked but otherwise hardly got touched.

49ers and rams aren't going to be cakewalks, and the cards have already beaten them. we'll see how it shakes out

[Dirtbag59]

I will say this. This was not the most memorable game but I have a hard time remembering a more satisfying victory. Even now I'm in some sort of this weird combination of emotions that I can only describe as pissed off happy. Every time I think about the Giants ownership my blood boils.

I have great respect for their players and their front office people but the stunt John Mara pulled this past offseason was enough for me to consider the Giants a bigger rival then the Cowboys. I mean it' one thing to get into a rivalry based on tradition but it's another thing where an opposing owner of a division rival is deliberately trying to sabotage your team. And it's not like we don't know from his statements at the owners meeting that his real goal was to stop the Redskins from acquiring RG3, but instead he settled for the cap penalties.

True gentleman. Now lets hope you drop one or two more games and we run the table.
