Official Game Thread - Week 13 - Commanders @ Giants

If adding talent to the D messes with defensive chemistry....that's not a player failure,that's a coaching failure.

So St.Juste has been out. When he's ready to come back,should they IR him too if the defense is playing well? How about Cole Holcomb?

Just how much talent do you want to shelve?

This is just silly.....
 
We had the same talent playing the first few games and had major issues. I think chemistry and synergy with this D is a real thing. That’s especially true when the coaches have made it clear Young has a tendency to freelance and do things that aren’t part of the plan.

I get your position and obviously just see it differently.
 
I don't think you can overstate the importance of today's game. I think most would agree, on paper, Washington is a far more talented team across the board. You are facing a rookie head coach and offensive coordinator, a very inconsistent Daniel Jones with limited weapons beyond handing off to Saquon Barkley. Giants are susceptible to the run and are only average in pass defense.

Yet we sit here with the Giants 1/2 game ahead in the standings. If we win today, we'll be a full game ahead of the Giants at 8-5. Lose and the Giants move to 8-4. Many will argue all we need to do is 'split' with the Giants and that they have a tougher finishing schedule. But Washington still has to face the Browns with Watson at QB, Dallas, and San Francisco which is a pretty tough final stretch.

Today we find out whether we've just been watching a typical Ron Rivera team bounce back or whether these guys have really learned how to assert and impose their will on an inferior opponent when they absolutely have to. Yes - the game has critical importance in terms of potential playoff ramifications, but more importantly it is a bellweather game where we find out just how good this team and these coaches are.

I truly have no idea what to expect. I hope we show up and turn an organizational corner today and win one we absolutely should win and do so convincingly.
 
Worth repeating-

538 Sports playoff odds show:

If Washington sweeps the NYG their odds of making the playoffs is 97%

If they split the two games- 63%

If they get swept- 13%
 
The common pattern over the past 20 years is: lose in stretches, win in stretches, finish around .500. I thoroughly expected a mid-season surge, though this one has been stronger than I thought. A win today may mean the team is finally turning a corner. A loss and I'm guessing it's just more of the same.

Fans travel well in general. Seeing them play on the road shows how much passion we have for this team. Not attending home games is more a reflection on how much the fans hate the owner and the fan experience. I’d pay to go to a road game before paying to go to a home game at this point.
 
So the biggest Redskins/Giants game in years and FOX decides we need to see Titans/Eagles here in NC??

Even though NC was Skins country for decades??

Glad I can stream.......
 
The team is getting a lot of love on the pre-game shows. Too much imo. Makes me nervous. 😬

Even Strahan couldn’t generate any confidence in the Giants and that’s saying something.

Yeah - total bullshit especially given NC is full of Washington fans
 
This says it better than I can…

 
The fact that Young is inactive shows he's a bum.
 
Already pissed away a double digit lead, and now the TURRIBLE Giants offense looks like the Chiefs; getting big chunks in the air and on the ground effortlessly and converting all third downs. Business as usual. Lucy yanks the football out again and poor old Chuck falls on his butt. Maybe next year/decade/century.
