*** OFFICIAL GAME DAY (NIGHT) THREAD - GIANTS @ REDSKINS***

[RoanokeFan]

When we came off the BYE week, Coach Coughlin said we now have a "six week season." So we started out at 1 - 0. We didn't just win the Packers game, we won it decisively. That's the kind of football we need to play for the next five games is we are to win the Division. We have the talent to run the table.

We still have injuries to some key players and that makes it harder for us to win games. But Next Man Up has worked pretty well this season. Playing who is currently arguably the most mobile QB threat will require that everyone on Defense be alert for the option threat(s). Hopefully JPP will play tonight as he seems to have learned the value of not over pursuing RGIII.

The secondary has been playing better and it will be interesting to see if they employ the 3 safety scheme if Kenny Phillips can't go. Prince is doing a great job and we have had better than average play from Stevie Brown (most of the time) and we have Jayron Hosley and Will Hill to round of the young bucks.

Last week, Antrel Rolle seemed to have found a home closer to the LOS and in the slot. So much so that he clamped a lid on the Packers biggest receiving threat in Randall Cobb.

So now we get the chance to see how much we can expect out of rookie RB David Wilson. Will he be our surprise play maker tonight? How many snaps will he get? Will he factor into the passing game? Can he make his reads and blocks?

It seems to me we have benefited from the relatively late BYE week. We know what's at stake, we know our destiny is in OUR hands. It doesn't matter what anyone else does if we take care of business.



HERE WE GO, GIANTS, HERE WE GO!!

[BlueOldSchool]

Thankfully Locklear!!! Eli must feel better about that!

[BlueOldSchool]

I'm feeling better when Kenny Phillips is in the secondary... the coverage against Rodgers last week was night and day better... awesome secondary when it all doesn't rest on Antrel Rolle...

[RoanokeFan]

I'm feeling better when Kenny Phillips is in the secondary... the coverage against Rodgers last week was night and day better... awesome secondary when it all doesn't rest on Antrel Rolle...

It allows Rolle to play up closer to the LOS and protect the slot which he did really well against the Packers. It also allows for Kiwanuka to be the Dlineman at large which we need to contain RGIII

[PETEY006]

So excited. My heart is racing ! Let's get this win and lock up the division

[Broadway Blue]

All hands on deck!

[BigBlue1971]

lets go Giants!

Monday night football takes forever to start....

[BigBlue1971]

[BlueOldSchool]

It allows Rolle to play up closer to the LOS and protect the slot which he did really well against the Packers. It also allows for Kiwanuka to be the Dlineman at large which we need to contain RGIII

Excellent assessment!

[JPP=BEASTMODE]

Let's go Giants!!!!!!!

[ShakeandBake]

[BlueOldSchool]

Subway had to get their minute in there...

[RoanokeFan]

Kiwanuka needs to put in a monster game

[Down-lifer]

[BlueOldSchool]

bigfattony... you in the house??? c'mon, buddy... check in from Scotland!!!

[Overdrive92]

how much analysis can there be for one game?????

Let me sum it all up for you.

"RG3. RG3. RG3. They won the Super Bowl. RG3."

[bill2000]

Holy crap, cut the talk and lets get it ON.

[ShakeandBake]

Another commercial.....

[BigBlue1971]

so much for an 830 kickoff

exactly

they should make this 845 and get everything in

[Overdrive92]

Redskins won the toss and will receive. Last time we didn't receive was... Cincinnati. *gulp*

[GiantFanatic55]

Skins win toss, they will recieve

[Down-lifer]

Let me sum it all up for you.

"RG3. RG3. RG3. They won the Super Bowl. RG3."hahaha true

[BigBlue1971]

Kiwanuka needs to put in a monster game

[RoanokeFan]

START THE GAME ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Down-lifer]

this is so annoying

[BigBlue1971]

ok this is it

lets go Giants!

[Zaggs]

Rolling Stones? Really?

[BlueOldSchool]

If Kenny Phillips shores up the secondary like last week, then the front 4 need to collapse on RG3 to dictate the pace on defense!

[ShakeandBake]

Mike Shanahan should punch Tirico in the mouth so we can get this game started

[Zaggs]

Wow, he had a KO return 3 years ago

[SirRuckus]

Let's do this. If we win tonight we beat the skins and the cowboys

[BlueOldSchool]

Man.. Randle takes a year a day to get the engine going... accelerate!!!

[Captain Chaos]

Were going back...

[RoanokeFan]

Come on Eli, show them how to sustain a drive

[BigBlue1971]

right down the field Eli

[BG61]

Horrible penalty on Sash there away from the play

[Captain Chaos]

Lets hope Diehl can hold up tonight....

[RoanokeFan]

We need to move the chains to a TD

[BlueOldSchool]

Alright... let's see what Gilbride is thinking tonight... (crossing my fingers)

[RoanokeFan]

Lets hope Diehl can hold up tonight....

Locklear is starting

[moosedrool]

Sash illegal block in the back.....stupid players commit this penalty.. Wasted roster spot with Sash.

[BigBlue1971]

Man.. Randle takes a year a day to get the engine going... accelerate!!!

im thinking the same thing!

maybe hes looking at which holes are best for him

[m0rbid1]

TICKY TACK CALLLLLS

[SackingMyths]

Man.. Randle takes a year a day to get the engine going... accelerate!!!

It's a cryin' shame we can't depend on JJs hands back there. His acceleration and shiftiness would be so ideal for punt return duty.

[Down-lifer]

lets go offense!

[BigBlue1971]

start on 'em right away Eli

no let up on these guys

[SirRuckus]

Bear

[Gmen2005]

[SB86900711]

At least Killdrive is running

[BigBlue1971]

1st down its manageable

[RoanokeFan]

Establish the run

[BlueOldSchool]

A toss like that needs killer sweep blocking... ugh!

[SirRuckus]

[DaKraken]

Jernigan!

[SB86900711]
