We were definitely off and didn't look good in a lot of areas last week.  I wonder if the kicker intentionally shanked it because he wanted to go home. It's not like his job is on the line.  Certainly the local announcers were pissed. The one guy couldn't shut up about how overtime should be banned in pre-season and how he was worried about the traffic on the way home.  Pathetic. Anyway, a win is a win, and we could use it, if only because we have a rookie coach who needs to earn the faith of his players. The Giants looked ready to go last monday. They humiliated the browns.  I'm officially worried about that game. I’m not going to argue with you about our performance, if only because the Jets game made it a moot point.

I did not travel to  the "Sewerlands"  for the game, rather, I elected to stay at home in Orlando and watch this on TV. I actually watched the game with a friend who is a Jets fan. We won the game as much by default as effort. We squandered opportunities in the Red Zone and did not finish drives. It took a dramatic drive by a Brennan led offense to finally take the lead with just over a minute to play. I said to my friend that 1:09 is a lot of time. Sure enough we couldn't tackle anyone on the Jets final drive and the Jets easily moved into position to attempt a game tying field goal. The snap and hold looked ok to me but Nugent just missed a chip shot kick. We were helped along the way especially in the 2nd and 3rd quarters when Jets receivers that were wide open couldn't catch a cold. Redskinsguy, you say that I am being harsh, on the team, maybe someone needs to be, "good enough" just is not "good enough" not in this division, not against our foes. I think this team has enough talent to be a force in the division and conference. But not playing this way. Through three games I see mixed results, and PLENTY of work that needs to get done. I am pleased with the play of the offensive line overall. Across the board, starters and back ups and playing pretty well. I think we have three very solid young guys that can be good players for us down the line in Heyer, Crummey, and Smith. I believe we would be well served to find a way to hang on to all three of them. The passing game has been only ok in my eyes and certainly inconsistent for 2 games now. I know the defense will be better when we get our starters back, but I have seen so many passes completely unchallenged throughout the first 3 games and tackling at times has been horrible. There is not enough heat on the QB and we are not generating enough in the turnover department. Funny how the former leads to the latter. Still, we are 3-0, and pre-season or not, that is better than being anything less. Even through struggling somewhat the last 2 games we have found a way to win and that is a good sign. I am a firm believer that winning breeds winning, and that loosing breeds, well you get the idea. Come on guys, there are 2 games left before this thing counts for real...across the board I hope we get things cleaned up. I am pretty sure that the Gaints will be ready on opening night, I sure hope we are.</strong> Good to see McIntosh and Rogers back on the field against His Majesty Brett Frave-lous.
