I'm past the point of hoping the defense creates turnovers to help the offense.

I just hope they can get off the field on 3rd and 5+ yards.

Winning the 3rd down battles is more of a realistic goal for this defense.

No gameday thread would be complete without a little pregame Kristi.

Knock yourselves out, fellas.
We are friends, but I really hate you right at this moment.

Aside from the OL controlling the line of scrimmage, I think the other key to the game is defending the crossing routes.

We allowed the the Redskins to make a living on slant routes and that's a big staple of the Giants offense as well. We can't let OBJ catch the ball on the run on those routes. When he catches one across the middle there needs to be a defender within range, waiting to put a lick on him.
I think this is key. That's why I was really disappointed to hear Wilcox was out. OBJ needs to fear that hit. Maybe Heath can Lockette him. :unsure

Yikes...Wentz with a pick in the endzone.

That was a horrific throw. Just terrible.

I think that has kind of been their identity all year. They aren't going to take the ball from people, but if they can win the third down battle the majority of the time, our offense will walk on their defense.

I guess we want Philly to win this? Or does it really even matter?

Man, that was kind of a weak DPI call in the Philly/Wash game.

It only matters if you want the Redskins to lose to the point of not making the playoffs.

And, I do want to see them miss out on the playoffs. Mainly because I don't want to have to play them there.

Didn't know Joe Robbie was renovated. Looks completely different.
