Giants at Redskins Post Game Thread

Couple things were key for me in the game:

1. The defense didnt "break." We held strong around our 30 the entire game, which was huge. Giving up the 3 instead of the 6 points was the difference maker.

2. Big games by Josh Wilson and C Griff. Hall got beat a couple times but still managed to play ok.

3. RG3 gets the headlines, but Alfmo, outside the fumble, was amazing last night.

4. What if Garcon woulda been healthy all year? Jeez he is so important to our passing strategy.

5. Oline, Run Blocking > Pass Blocking, and it worked out last night. Watching Kory L sometimes scares me though...

The only thing that worries me is that the cowboys might feel motivated to play the role of spoiler...

Very nice win. I wouldnt be surprised at all if the Skins run the table and zoom into the playoffs.

[Chief X_Phackter]

Great win. I don't think I sat down much - at least not still.

Hard nosed, tough NFC East battle and we came out on top at home as we should have.

Tough road ahead still, so here's to the coaches and team leaders helping everyone keep their eye on the prize...the past is the past...still business to take care of...First up - RaVeNs

my favorite play last night was the RG3 run on 3rd and 1 where the dude barely got the back of his jersey to drag him down after like a 40 yard run. That was amazing

I think we smash the Ravens. Tht team is built to beat the Steelers. We will run over them and the playaction we beat thm for tryn to stop the the run. I believe we get to Flucco.

Oh httr!!!!! Hail victory! Braves on the warpath, fight for ol' dc!!!!!

1) I LOVE the win

2) Our D hasn't allowed a rushing TD since week 9.

3) The way the D stood up in the 3rd and 4th showed some heart.

4) I love Fletcher, but hope we have a replacement in line. Good GIF of Bennett's TD:



Not knowing the call, maybe Fletch was expecting help but looks like he just let Bennett go free

After this game I really have the feeling that Haslett is doing the best he can with the players he has...

S-c-h-w-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-t!

I want to bask in the afterglow of that win for a while. We won that game the way good teams do it. In the second half we clamped down on defense, mounted a brilliant scoring drive to take the lead, and closed the game out with another excellent drive. That was an outstanding performance by the entire Redskins team!

And a healthy Fred Davis, man lights out for the rest of the league.

Our Defense has been head shoulders better the second half the season vs the first 6 games. Football outsiders had ranked like 30th or 29th at the beginning of the season and its slowly climbed towards the middle of the pack since. Our pass rush struggles and safety play is still our biggest weakness

This team, every player imo, wants to take this team higher. That is a characteristic of great teams. I don't think I have heard even a whisper of back biting or infighting, even when we were at 3-6. Bullet #9 from the ten observations article sums it up pretty well:

Linebacker Rob Jackson also played more on third downs in the second half and recorded a sack and drew a holding penalty. Jackson often comes out in these situations, partly because if he’s on the field the opposition knows he’s going to rush. It’s harder to block if there’s some doubt and you can scheme certain rushes by having a guy fake the rush and drop. With Jackson, there’s no faking because he’s rarely going to drop into coverage. That’s why Lorenzo Alexander has played ahead of him on these downs. But not Monday. “I told [defensive coordinator Jim Haslett] to let me get some third downs,” Jackson said. “He left me out there and he believed in me. I felt I had to show up. If I’m asking for an opportunity I have to go show him.”
