Washington Redskins at New York Giants, Sep 4, 2008 7:00 PM EDT
We made it. The season is upon us.
Soon, at least; as of this writing (though not publishing) we're a good chunk of hours removed from the game. That said, we're real close.
Before the game, and I'll publish this a couple hours in advance, keep an eye on NFL.com preview video, although watching it for the 2nd time, it hurts me to hear them claim Justin Tuck will matchup against Jon Jansen. Nope.
Gameday thread via the Official Site.
Our injury report lists:
| Kareem Moore | Doubtful | Hamstring |
| Alex Buzbee | Out | Achilles Injury |
| Phillip Daniels | Out | Knee Injury |
| Malcolm Kelly | Out | Knee |
| Khary Campbell | Probable | Thigh |
| LaRon Landry | Probable | Hamstring |
| Antwaan Randle El | Probable | Hand |
| Shawn Springs | Probable | Calf |
| Jason Taylor | Questionable | Knee |
We can live without Kareem Moore and Alex Buzbee (injured reserve). Phillip Daniels is going to be out for the season along with Buzbee, so no news there. Malcolm Kelly is not that far from injured reserve and won't be doing anything for weeks, it seems:
Malcolm Kelly, whose knee injury has been such a concern that the team has considered putting him on season-ending injured reserve...
Uhhh, good news for Devin Thomas, I suppose.
I have every confidence that Landry will play as I've heard nothing to the contrary and ironman Antwaan Randle El has assured the world he will play in spite of his hand injury. Shawn Springs is a necessary cog.
Jason Taylor probably won't play but I remain hopeful nonetheless.
Big Blue View should have any new Giants' developments up over at his site. The Giants Official Site injury report lists:
| Player | Injury | 9/1 | 9/2 | 9/3 |
| LB Jonathan Goff | Back | O | O | O |
| CB Terrell Thomas | Hamstring | O | O | O |
| WR Domenik Hixon | Back | DNP | L | Q |
| K Lawrence Tynes | Knee (left) | DNP | DNP | O |
| RB Ahmad Bradshaw | Calf | P |
Do with that what you want.
Line is currently something like Giants -4 though I've seen it at -4.5 so hopefully that means the fix is on, yo. Over/under is 41 though, again, that's higher than I read yesterday I believe. My prediction: Redskins 21 Giants 19.
That's different than the prediction I gave just last week or so (hat tip: Curly R) to the New York Times' Fifth Down Blog. What I said:
Will Allensworth ru[i]ns Hogs Haven, an unofficial Washington Redskins blog for Sports Blog Nation. The site launched sometime in August 2006 and has been poorly written ever since, mostly because I run it.
While there is little doubt that the Giants are a worse football team without Osi Umenyiora, the question is how much worse are they? Against the pass, much, much worse, as they’ll have to account for 13 sacks and 5 fumbles without him. Against the run, though, there’s reason to think Osi left much to be desired, at least per the work done by Football Outsiders in their Pro Football Prospectus. They had him below Justin Tuck, Michael Strahan, Fred Robbins, and Barry Cofield in run stop percentage (which is a measure of success depending on the particular down) and average rushing yards allowed. For the ‘Skins, the good news here is that I have more questions about their passing game than their running game (especially given the way their O-Line played against Carolina), and Osi was an absolute force against any quarterback. Redskins, 27-17.
Note: I don't even know if the above answer makes sense.
After much reflection and soul searching I decided testing ye Fooball Gambling Gods twice by both ripping apart their spread and destroying their over under was probably a poor decision, hence the tempered 21-19 score.
I think there will be some live blogging over at Tandler's and TORB (The Sea Salt & Vinegar Potato Chip!) though I'm not certain. UPDATE: AOL Fanhouse is a go for livebloggin with Ryan Wilson, Om Field is excited, etc. UPDATE 2 by Ben, Curly R's game preview is here. Go read the blogroll yourself.
This is where you post your own predictions for the game, hopes, dreams, aspirations, recipes, etc. Enjoy, welcome to the new season and, most importantly:

Hey

I just came by to say that was a bs PI call on Smoot, but there’s nobody home.
Oh, that and Campbell better learn to go through a progression or this is going to be a long year for you guys.

The middle of the field is still WIDE OPEN
why is Campbell throwing everything to the outside? Is he that gun shy? For that matter, stay in the pocket.
Is Chris Cooley playing O-Line or TE? Could we please atleast look at him?

Eli is starting to get happy feet back there
if we could lay a clean hit on him, I think he’ll start to go back to being…well, Eli Manning.
Good job by the DL that series. Started to get some pressure on him.

why did portis cut back there? i think he could have taken it to the house if he had just tried to turn the corner and outrun them
by hibachi on Sep 4, 2008 8:55 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
That's what Clinton does
I love the guy to death. He just randomly falls down, probably to avoid getting the big hit.
We had momentum there. I think we’d have been better off trying to run a pass play on 4th and 1. Hopefully the defense can keep the momentum going.

we want to kick the FG, get the onside kick and then throw a hail mary as time expires to win the game.
Zorn’s a crafty guy. He doesn’t want to give Eli the chance to score.

Maybe not now
but in the first half, the middle of the field was wide open and Campbell was throwing to the sideline every attempt.

Campbell plays QB like I play Madden
roll out every down and hold on to the ball way too long.

That reminds me of playing Tecmo Super Bowl as well

Campbell
It hasn’t looked like he’s had many strong throws thus far, he’s been moving around pretty much every pass, he needs to stand in and use his body to put more into his passes, less scrambling.

I can't believe that he's this bad a QB
Not after what we’ve seen the past 2 seasons. We’ve seen him make good decisions. He’s made clutch throws and all that. Tonight was a different story.

I wonder how much of this
Is based on Zorn taking over.

It wouldn't be unfounded
He looks like a boy who’s been slapped when he makes the wrong decision talks out of turn.

Do they not realize?
That with so little time, 5 yard passes aren’t a good idea?

They should have run this offense last drive.
We need 2 scores, damnit.

I don’t wish it on the Giants either.

eagles fan here
man i was REALLY pulling for the skins tonight due to my hatred for the Gmen……….The defense looked OK, but man was the play calling , time management, and qb play was just awful!!!!!!!

Final thoughts
Defensively, Washington was able to limit the Giants scoring chances. They gave up a lot of yards, and had no answer for Burress, but not a bad game as a whole for the D.
Offensively, the playcall was lacking. The run was predictable, which limited the chances Portis had for success. Campbell just seemed uncomfortable the whole game, and none of the receivers stood out. I was really surprised how little Cooley was used, considering the Giants have questionable outside linebackers.
Obviously, it’s one game, so it’s way too early to over-react. But that wasn’t a great start offensively for Zorn’s first game.

Well said
Skins win if LL wasn’t lost, Smoot was paying attention and Mr. Rogers was in the neighborhood.

You Could Have Made Us Win
If you were at Third Base, we would have scored 3 more touchdowns. It’s your fault! ;)
