***Week 1 Game Thread - Wash at NYG*** (3 Viewers)

[Dought Man]

Two years from now, we will look back at Jason Campbell like that guy at your company who stays in that VP position for 3-4 years and then all the sudden is replaced and dissapears quietly without any fanfare.... he's the guy who shows up to all the meetings dressed to the 9's (but never says anything). Nice enough guy, always brings his family to the company picnic and shows up to the break room for cake when its someone's birthday. But everyone in the company just keeps saying to themselves.. "How does he keep his job!?!? And how is he driving a Range Rover!?! He doesnt do ANYthing!? Is he even alive under that suit?"

 

[Mustang Man]

that is too funny seabronc

 

[T Bell]

FU Pierce. Always trying to bark at the Redskins like the bitter ##### he is.

 

[[icon]]

lol @ the Giants fans booting the call for 2 guys diving on Portis late

 

[sjacksonfan]

This game is proof: college fb>>>>>pro fb. NFL turning into hockey. Boring and predictable.

Yeah because everyone on here was just soooo pumped for the College season to start.

I'm just saying like the other big 3 the NFL is now past it's prime. It's been obvious for a few years now but this game is a perfect illustration. CFB is nowhere near it's prime. Keeps getting better.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Tatum, will you settle for draw plays up the middle?

 

[T Bell]

Nice blocking scheme.

 

[BigRed]

GOD the Skins' OL BLOWS MASSIVELY.

PS that roughing call was pretty weak.

 

[yinzer]

Wish I wasn't down on Burress this year before my draft. Dude's on pace for 160 receptions if he can stay healthy.Big IF.

easy cheetah, he doesn't get smoot every week

Smoot actually has 7 tackles and an assist...thats good for an IDP DB

 

[T Bell]

Tatum, will you settle for draw plays up the middle?

Yes, but only if they get blown up in the backfield.

 

[seabronc]

that is too funny seabronc

yeah it is... let's see if we should go into business.

 

[Saint]

wow a pass play beyond 10 yards...

 

[The Big Donkey]

Wish I wasn't down on Burress this year before my draft. Dude's on pace for 160 receptions if he can stay healthy.Big IF.

Can you expand on this? The guy has missed one game since joining the Giants and that was in 2006.

Pls take your side-tracking gibberish elsewhere. TIA.Portis owners w/4 mins left you can forget any more yardage tonight. 80 isn't bad, but no TDs OR catches blows.

 

[Eat Sleep Sports]

Jacobs not really impessing me.... showing very little creativity out of the backfield....hes like a lemming at times. Ward def looks better when it comes to making something out of nothing.

Jacobs has 12-13 touches for 85 yds...c'mon Icon, what are you selling?Jacobs has a 2:1 advantage in touches and other than an injury which is more likely given his size, stamina, and running style, Jacobs will be the starter throughout the season.

You can look at the stats all you want, I'm watching the game. I'm just calling what I'm seeing. I don't own ward or jacobs in any leagues...I'm not "selling" anything.I'm also not saying ward is going to win the starting job.... just making an observation on their play when there's not much to work with.

you must be . Jacobs looks like a monster out there and Ward looks pretty ordinary.

He's looking better now that WASH D is getting worn down but early in the game looked unimpressive when he ran into traffic.

For 264 lbs he seems to be weaving through traffic quite well. You see him bulldoze SS Landry on one of the first plays of the game? Seem him get shoestring tackled that prevented a 60 yd TD run? He is looking, and putting up far better numbers, than Ward. Only place that Ward looks better is catching passes, which is an area that Jacobs looks weak at. If you can get 5-6 yds per carry you don't need to catch too many passes though....

 

[Saint]

even Madden is bashing the playcalling... that's brutal.

 

[Mustang Man]

Are they playing for the fg here running the ball 2 times in a row

 

[rascal]

I hate to agree with Madden but this is horrible clock management by Washington.

:ironyalert:

 

[BigRed]

Who cares? Run Forrest err Portis, run!

Portis FINALLY w/a catch and called back - #$##@& OL!

 

[yinzer]

All things considered in this game, Ill take 84 yards by Portis to the bank for this game

...anyone else think Randle El puts up better numbers than Santana this year?? You heard it here first

 

[Spartans346]

The coach must have Portis on his FF team.

 

[T Bell]

Moss better not do that this year too.

Just what Campbell needed - 3rd and 17.

 

[thayman]

I hate to agree with Madden but this is horrible clock management by Washington.

I agree, but with a HC that is calling plays for the first time tonight is still > Joe Gibbs time management

 

[rascal]

Who else is glad they didn't waste a pick on Santana Moss and Campbell?

That pass offense is awful.

 

[Saint]

3rd and 17 and he passes underneath in a 2 possession game... this is ridiculous.. what horrible playcalling.

 

[T Bell]

Ok, that was all on Campbell. WTMF was with that choice?

 

[yinzer]

Moss better not do that this year too.

Just what Campbell needed - 3rd and 17.

Apparently Santana and the DBs watch the same gamefilm from practice

 

[Eat Sleep Sports]

I have Moss and I would agree that he is looking like crap.

 

[BigRed]

3d/17 and....Campbell with the short pass! At least he's consistent.

WAS best look real seriously at drafting a QB high next year. Or maybe give Favre a call.

 

[Mustang Man]

WOW this second half had been pathetic offensive football on both sides. The G-Men are very lucky they did not get Philly or Dallas in this game.

 

[T Bell]

Moss better not do that this year too.

Just what Campbell needed - 3rd and 17.

Yeah, it's called Flipper.

 

[yinzer]

Who else is glad they didn't waste a pick on Santana Moss and Campbell?That pass offense is awful.

Moss is WR kryptonite to me in FF drafts..I wouldnt touch him in the 12th

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Nothing like the checkdown on 4th and 13

 

[[icon]]

campbell... what an idiot.

 

[yinzer]

At least theyre not watching Reqiuem for a Dream

 

[rascal]

Wow...I almost feel sad for Skin fans. Campbell and the play calling are just awful.

 

[Al Toon's Mole]

Over/Under on how long it takes until Washington finally goes with Brennan at QB?

I'll take week 5

 

[Eat Sleep Sports]

WOW this second half had been pathetic offensive football on both sides. The G-Men are very lucky they did not get Philly or Dallas in this game.

It is almost like the Giants are playing down to the Redskins level or something....

 

[BigRed]

Wow...I almost feel sad for Skin fans. Campbell and the play calling are just awful.

That's a good point ie while Campbell does blow, not all his fault by any means. OL sucks and play-calling horrific.

 

[clinton_c]

Does Campbell even know how many yards he need for a 1st down?

Its like he is scared to throw the ball downfield. Grow some nuts Campbell.

 

[yinzer]

That Spike Lee joint looks like it could be good

 

[T Bell]

Over/Under on how long it takes until Washington finally goes with Brennan at QB?I'll take week 5

Brennan won't see the field this year unless Campbell and Collins are both injured.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Over/Under on how long it takes until Washington finally goes with Brennan at QB?I'll take week 5

How about Collins?He was excellent late last year

 

[Tremendous Upside]

That Spike Lee joint looks like it could be good

Spike's got his fastball backInside Man was a tight film

 

[[icon]]

NOW he's bulldogging. Jacobs looking MUCH better in the 2nd half

 

[Mustang Man]

WOW this second half had been pathetic offensive football on both sides. The G-Men are very lucky they did not get Philly or Dallas in this game.

It is almost like the Giants are playing down to the Redskins level or something....

That is true NFC EAST football though. Tough low scoring game and throw out the records cause they mean nothing. In this case there they are both 0-0 though

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

LOl that I also have Jacobs. Plus Campbell and portis in one league. so if BJ gets 9 yards this drive and they kick I am money. Think it just happened.

 

[RC94]

Jacobs is playing like a guy looking for a new contract. Great game for him.

 

[FavreCo]

Wow...I almost feel sad for Skin fans. Campbell and the play calling are just awful.

I'm still not sure why anyone would have thought Campbell was any good to begin with. He goes with the WCO like oil does with water.
