We lost because of poor execution....period.

[stormblue]

it is has always been true in sports......
good coaching translates into way less victories
than poor coaching accounts for losses.

deny it if you will ...but...

Jeter + Rivera > Joe Torre.
Eli + Strahan > TC.

this is not true at all

there are many QBs in the league who are not allowed audible responsibility

there may even be less QBs allowed this responsibility than ones that are

Michael Vick is among those who is given a play....and he runs that play

when you see most of these QBs barking at the line before a cadence they are adjusting protections not changing plays

....and Eli has access to the whole game plan when at the line not only the plays sent into his ear piece

Exactly. Very few QBs have as much responsibility and flexibility at the line as Eli does.

The gameplan was ball control to keep Griffen off the field, as we had NO answer for him on defense. The staff knew it long before the game started.

This is a very smart decision based on that fact. Dropped balls, stupid penalties and errant passes cost us this game. Those are all execution issues. Execute the gameplan, Giants win easily. The Giants didn't.

That being said.....Gilbride doesn't get off the hook for this loss either. Question for you, Kev: If I know that on 2nd and 10 that we will run a handoff to AB up the middle EVERY TIME.....don't you think the Redskins knew too? Yeah.....that will be the reason why it didn't work EVERY TIME!!

In hindsight....the way the Giants beat Griffen is to air it out and outscore them.

AMEN

Explain the Eagles of the past 2 seasons... Or the Chargers of the past 6 or 7 years... Or the Cowboys for the 4 years before this one...

i just did....
poor coaching loses more games than good coaching wins games.

Norv Turner , Jason Garret , Wade Philips...excellent coordinators.....lousy HC's.

and you can find numerous posts by me that impune Andy Ried for the waste of talent
he has been in charge of over there. he is absolute verification that poor coaching costs games.

that team with McNabb and that defense should have gotten a ring or two.
that man wasted D McNabbs career....his offense made #5 a tackling dummy.

A Ried is the perfect example of my point.
M Schottenheimer is another.

So, coaching only matters when a team loses?

We lost because we still are having problems in the redzone. Would have thought the signing of Bennet would have helped that. We were able to get it to him for the 1st TD. After that we had to settle for field goals. If one of those FGs would have been a TD instead we would have won the game.

Or if we made the missed FG.

Exactly. It's sad to think that in reality all we had to score was 20 points to win the game, and we couldn't even do that.
