just like other thread, you guys must've missed the Portis fumble

yeah, that must be why multiple people have already mentioned the fumble.

Um, nur whole point is even after a fumble you don't cut off your teams nose to spite its face. Their best player was on the sideline why, to teach some lesson? Seems counterproductive is all.

it's week 3, division is still tight, Betts is a very good back arguably(note last year's per start production) the best backup in football. Gonna go get Portis' 2nd half stats....gimme one sec on those.Play to Sellers, good call somewhat expected as they like that guy in tight spots.One run, fine call2nd run, very rushed yet there's 30 seconds on the clock. What's going on? plenty of time left....Campbell's fault IMO Had they set up, I don't think they run and/or the blocking would be better(couldn't be worse) if they did.

You bring a half of footballs stats.Ill bring a guys career resume.Perhaps Gibbs agrees with your line of thinking. Perhaps Portis would not have scored the TD either. Of course,We know Betts couldnt do it. Whether or not Portis' ability and presence in the huddle and on the field could have is up for debate. Which, it shouldn't be. He is the better player (nfl wise) and should have been there.

Spiking it on first down with 50 seconds left is moronic.

I was screaming at the TV when he did this...but Joe Buck called his decision-making at this juncture "impressive" so thaten I satarted yelling at Joe Buck...btw, Campbell did this with about 1:20 left and the ball on the NYG 35 yd line...absolutely inexcusable to spike the ball in either of those situations IMO

15 yards in 2nd half, a fumble, a catch for minus 4 yards, a drop...cmon nowTwo threads on this topic, as I said in the other I think Portis in 2nd half was not anywhere near as good as the first and his head wasn't in it. Look at the game log and get back to me.

You've got to be kidding me. Did you even watch the game. Wash was getting abused up front at the LOS the entire 2nd half.

The ball was handed off very poorly by Campbell and half the blame for it (or more) is his. You must have missed that.

I agree. Rabach finally resorted to grabbing guys as they went past him.

 

[fatness]

What I think the Giants deserve a lot of credit for is putting Burress in the slot. Smoot was out for the Redskins, so that left their 2 CB's covering the 2 receivers split wide, with a LB/safety combo trying to cover Burress. The Skins didn't appear to adjust to this all game.

OK, unrelated to Portis now. WTF was up with Wash leaving a TE to block Strahan 1-1 3 times in the 4th quarter in known passing situations with the game on the line? Simply absurd scheme and play calling all around in that 2nd half by Wash. To make matters worse, NYG played a ton better and were executing the way a real NFL team should. Congrats to them.

 

[fatness]

I'm pretty mystified by everything they did offensively and defensively in the second half. I don't know why they called the plays and formations they did. But the Giants earned this one, there's no taking away from that.

 

[TxBuckeye]

Haven't read the thread and won't, it's to damn long. All I know is, the game has passed Gibbs by and it's time for him to re-retire.

You can't block Kiwi, Osi, Tuck, and Strahan when they all have their ears pinned back.Run it right at em'. Quick quick pass. Gotta do something to slow down their jump on the ball.It's 2 pro bowlers, a HOFer, and a guy playing better than the other 3 this year. As I mentioned before though, I was shocked the Giants coverred well in the 2nd half. They haven't in like a year and a half or so. I don't fault Campbell too much for figuring his WRs would get open.

And you run right at a DE that's making a quick jump. He's out of position to stop the run then.Also Kiwi was horrible at LB so far this year IMO. He looked like a pro bowler today, even Mitchell looked pretty good. First Sunday I didn't think "Why'd they draft DeOssie's son if they're not gonna play him?" Their might be some blame for Sellers in their too or maybe just kudos to Kiwi this week. It was a real dramatic improvement though

I didn't think so. You've got a point about sharing the blame. However, I can't imagine any coach listenning to a RB whining "he didn't hand it to me well." Can you?

I haven't even dared to go over there yet. It's bad enough to lose, but I can't stand the apocalyptic tone of around 70% of the people who post there after a loss.

You're getting people mixed up. That was fatness saying it to Bri. We're not Portis and Gibbs.

I agree about the Giants covering well in the second half. I'm not too upset about Campbell's throws --- he's still learning where to expect each receiver to be, where they like to receive the ball, etc. But I'm a bit concerned about his 3 fumbles. That can't keep up.

 

[Whiplash Inc.]

Fumble is on Campbell, per NFL.com. I hope Yahoo adjusts their stats for Portis accordingly...
