Special teams killed the Giants today.

Blue21 : 9/25/2016 7:47 pm
51 Yard punt return when it looked like the Redskins would be pinned at the ten. Kickoff out off bounds that gave them excellent field position. Stupid penalty that gave the Redskins another chance after a blocked punt. Fooled on a fake punt that abled Washington to keep the ball deep in Giant territory at that. How many points did that give the 'skins? Giants gave this game to them.











yup

but to be fair, all three phases killed the Giants today.
Bad kickoff and bad punt coverage led directly to 6 points.

The moronic penalty negated a blocked punt.

The fake punt had more to do with injuries than special teams sucking. DRC or Apple would've been out there normally if they weren't injured.


Penalties, turnovers, and SPECIAL TEAMS are how superior teams lose games.
The fake punt was a do or die

Total team failure.
Many factors for loss but #1 for me was

undisciplined play that resulted in too many penalties. Simply too many for team to overcome and win the game.
They also recovered a muffed punt

& had a punt blocked that was called back because a rookie playing in his first game, who was probably out there due to injuries, was overzealous. The pass from punt formation was a shit-ass play that worked. The Redskins were desperate and they plucked a card going for the inside straight.

I chase the money in these analyses. Eli sucked supremely. And Vernon's PF was absolutely brain dead. The Giants are not good enough to win with their money playing like that. Sorry.

I was way more than just that.
Maybe I have low expectations

But I'm not THAT upset at the fake punt. I just thought it was a good play and a gutsy call. I tip my hat off to the Skins for that.

Of course it was that's why I said there were many factors for the loss
This is just not

A very good team right now, period.

Got lucky week 1, more luck week 2...

Week 3 played awful across the board and allowed a terrible team to come into Giants Stadium and beat them.

Cry babies on the sideline , undisciplined play, and stupid football players.
+1 Kevin...

But I do think we have improved our talent on both sides of the ball, and I hope in the not too distant future on a coaching level too. But please, enough the not-very Mighty Quinn...

Yeah, we're still in a transition phase. When you're a sub 500 team that replaces its coach and acquires several new players, you're not likely to show sudden improvement in just one year. Well shut, maybe the Eagles have... we'll see.

The way I see it we're still below average to very weak at LB, TE, RB and OL. But we do have some young players, new players, or even rookies at most of those positions who may pan out and help elevate their units.
