The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

next week is a whole new game.

Im so happy with the way we played and with our victory BUT we need to improve if we want to face the giants next week.

This is a divisional game folks. We need to stop the penalties, though we did way better this week. We need to put the clamp down in the 4th, we havnt done that yet. And we need to stop explosive passing plays, which seems to be our major weakness. Maybe springs can help with that when he returns.

The question for everyone is,
What do we need to do to improve and how should we prepare for the Giants Divisional game?

The team doesn't need to change anything now - Portis being back has been huge for the offense, and even the defense seems inspired now. The pressure on Leftwich was huge this week - that made a world of difference in helping out the secondary.

The Giants are in disarray after that beatdown by Seattle last week. Players are sniping at the coach, and they're looking to be on the verge of collapse. We should be able to take 'em.

pressure was good yes, bu the secondary did get burned in the pass. Leftwich is not a top tier QB and he burned us today. We need Springs back!

I can't wait for Lavar to fall further into mediocrity after this game. ey is going to run him ragged, look for ey to be a key cog in next weeks game.

Where is the troll...Elachie or whatever his name is???? Guess he isnt too confident now!!

his name is ejaculate

Man, I am pumped for the Giants next week!

It just sucks that we'er playing them after their bye week so they had 2 weeks to get ready for us.

All I want is the win. No hard feelings for LaVar, just a big fat win, in NY.

i think if we beat NY next week, their season is over. they will be 1-3 and in complete meltdown mode.

Some times you have to give your opponent credit…Leftwich made two phenomenal plays when the Redskins brought a safety. Williams made two circus catches and Lloyd’s fumble made this game a lot closer than is should have been.

Yes, I couldn't believe Leftwich's performance under heavy pressure. And those catches--both on the same, 4-play drive, were unreal.

Yeah, credit due where it's due.

Leftwich played incredibly well, make some really accurate throws. I know Randy Cross (mega-idiot Randy Cross) kept talking about how he was throwing them in tight spots, but that's accurate. And some of those catches were fantastic by Williams (especially the one for the TD where Taylor almost took his head off).

I think our secondary played pretty well. I know that sounds wierd to say it, but it's not like you saw a lot of guys running wide open often (except for that damned TE crossing pattern that's been gutting us). Though whomever decided Lemar Marshall should be single covering Maurice Jones-Drew on that 51 yard TD, should be shot.

Edited to add, what's funny is I went on the JAX fan forums. And a lot of people are calling for the Jags to draft or acquire a better QB than Leftwich, calling him "average" or "mediocre". When the game was over last night, all I came away with was that he is a hell of a quarterback...

I haven't yelled a t the TV that much in ages. What a freakin' moron.

Hey Cross-idiot, you can't see the ball at all in that replay. Triplett got it right for a change, now shut the ___ up.

Yeah. You know what, it probably wasn't a fumble. I'm willing to say it almost 90% WASN'T a fumble.

But you need conclusive evidence to overturn a call. And no one could find a shot that showed anything near that. So the call stands.

I'd stand by this if it happened to the Skins. I'd be pissed, but the rules of the game are the rules of the game.

Agreed, but you know what? Betts' knee was not down on that third-down play, and there was clear visual evidence that it wasn't.

And the Jags should've been called for delay of game at least twice more than they were.

And that was offensive pass interference on the Jags with a 5-yard face mask thrown in for good measure.

Official screw-ups usually wash out even. I do hate Triplett and his crew, though. They seem to make a lot more mistakes than others. Wasn't triplett the guy that blinded a player in one eye a few years back?

Glad someone else noticed that. I was going nuts watching the clock at ZERO and the ball still under center.

somthing we did to the jags today was shut down the run. Leftwich gave them a chance by throwing up a storm from the pocket.

If we have the same kind of success against the giants rushing attack, they wont have a chance. Eli is not there yet. Hes not able to control a game from the air like his brother.

Stop Tiki and we win!

Let's not forget who Randy Cross is. He played for the 83-84 49ers, whom the Redskins beat at RFK to get to the Super Bowl against the Raiders. Those guys, to this day, blame that game on one-sided refs.

I'm sure being a "professional," he doesn't let his personal feelings affect his game call.

we wont rely on any calls or refs this upcoming sunday. all we have to do is take care of tiki and the eli will crumble. STOP TIKI IS THE NAME OF THE GAME!!!!
