Giants Game Plus and Minus

[KI Skins Fan]

Plus

1. The Skins won a division game they needed to win on the road.
2. They fought hard all the way.
3. Skins won the turnover battle.
4. They had big plays in all three phases.
5. Dustin Hopkins was outstanding! 5 for 5 right down the middle.
6. Trent Williams made an emergency move to LG and played great!
7. The coaches listened to the players and the players delivered.
8. Big Swaggy's huge hit on Eli fired up the team.
9. Backups came in and played well.
10. S'ua Cravens for the win!!!

Minus

1. There were several key injuries.
2. Red Zone troubles continued.
3. Pass rush rarely got home.
4. Skins had trouble stopping the run.
5. Play calling was unimaginative.
6. Clock management was poor.

Hey, we won! We'll take it and move forward. Beat Cleveland!

[Meks]

2nd half defense allowed only 6 points.

[Alvin Walton]

Way too many penalties....
And Hopkins is da man!

One more negative:

Missed tackles. More than in the previous 2 games, where I felt there was a HUGE improvement compared to last season. Fix that next week, show this was just a few mistakes.

Also, do you think Trent will be moved to guard till the end of the season? I felt we never ran the ball so well that with him inside...

As amazing as Trent was at LG, I don't think he'll stay there because it is so important to protect the QB's blind side. Also, it would leave us without a backup swing OT on the bench.

I guess they'll move Long to LG if Kory can play and Lauvao can't or Long to C if Kory can't play but Lauvao can. If both Kory and Lauvao are out, they'll probably go with Long at C and Kouandjio at LG.

Trent is too good to move inside permanently.

Cousins "waking up" was so big for the team. Also, the second half we just allowed 6 points on defense and were playing a lot of depth guys as well as rotating out Bruton on 3rd downs.

If the unit is performing better as a whole with that Oline group in those positions...stick with it. From what I read we ran the ball well with that group.

[Evilgrin]

Red Zone Production still really bad, Cousins really struggles when he runs out of field.

Pretty awesome to see them get creative with the offensive line.

Nice to see the other team make the big mistakes, instead of us. We have the most pre-snap penalties in the NFL. I read it somewhere, mostly being false starts.

Got to point out we beat 2 teams yesterday...the Giants and the Refs.

I try not to bitch about referees, but DUDE, they where terrrrrible yesterday. The miff punt block into play...the phantom Schreff penalty on the screen, and the Bruton Int call....Im sorry but that stuff was garbage....

But yet they made a point to give norman and odb warnings before the game? So were they TOO focused on that match up?

Im sorry, but the zebras were bad yesterday

Refs fucked us 3 times

Dunbar being pushed beginning of game
Brutton Int in endzone
Murphy hitting Eli personal foul bs

On the bright side they kicked their C for 2 personal fouls

There were atrocious calls on both sides, but.more so against us. I guess the NFL just doesn't care about this shit cause we've seen it for how many years? They continue to do nothing about fixing the issue.

Anyhow, hope we don't see that crew again. They should be fired after that shit yesterday. That was embarrassing.

Mike Pereira clearly disagreed with the miff punt play and the bruton int both were reviewed. Clearly that should be a red flag to the NFL that major game changing plays are being effed up. How is this stuff handled? To me there should be some sort of audit on game changing reviews with outcomes and remediation? I mean this is needs to be transparent with the league and the teams....and probably the fans. its bs.

The Bruton play...Jay was super pissed on the sidelines and I don't blame him

[scowan]

So the only guy scaring me next week is T. Pryor. Put Norman on him and run up the score.

David Burton absolutely intercepted that ball! How did the officials miss that? That would have taken 3 points off the board. Control, butt was on the ground in the end zone, then rolled into the pylon. I give up what is and is not a catch. Also, I thought OBJ had a reception that he fumbled, that they called an incomplete pass. I've been watching the NFL for 30 years and I don't know what a catch is anymore. Its gotten crazy.
