Re: NFL 2009 Thread #3: The Quest for Perfection

It probably won't matter, but the Skins just "trickeration"-ed themselves out of 3 points.

It would have been hilarious if the Giants ran that back for a TD.

i was hoping. in their defense, a lot of them got back very quickly.. they must have known it was getting picked off.

And a pseudo brawl. This is awful.

I don't know how Jacobs didn't get anything on that... at least Matching for roughing But he and Hanesworth should have both been tossed, and Jacobs should have been more penalized for that whole exchange, and somehow he didn't get anything. Quality.

Because, you know, football is highly civilized.

Moving on to round two by 4 points.

Wow the Skins are awful.

That's an understatement.

A headline reads "Manning, Giant Defense helps in rout of Redskins and help stay in playoff picture"

It didn't hurt that the Redskins sucked and basically GAVE NY points would it?

That pick 6 NYG had in the third or fourth quarter tonight wasn't defensive genious by the Giants... it was sheer stupidity by Campbell and whoever it was supposed to be running the route.

Re: NFL 2009 Thread #3: The Quest for Perfection

Thank you Minnesota Vikings for ruining my fantasy playoffs. Not only did Sidney Rice not do anything, but the inability to contain Steve Smith yet again killed me. I thought the Vikes brought back Fred Smoot for a while there.

It didn't help that Green Bay torched my defense and gave me negative points, but still...

All that and Eli ALMOST brought me all the way back.

Heh. I feel bad for FFL people who played either defense in the GB/PIT tilt.

No defense to speak of in that game.

I thought of picking up a different defense for the week, but what was available didn't really scream to me that that would be a good move.

Of course knowing what I know now about that game, anything probably would've been better. Even just an average 10 point performance would move me on to the championship I believe.

Thank goodness I didn't follow my gut and start Eli over ARodg. Woulda cost me a title shot.

it was a screen pass that was twice as high as it should have been. no way that was even remotely the receiver's fault. campbell tried a cheeky fake left throw right but he didnt even look and just chucked it.

Ended up losing in fantasy by 1. If CBS could seed their teams the right way, I would have won by 20.

Re: NFL 2009 Thread #3: The Quest for Perfection

Tirico set it up beautifully for Gruden late last night, summarizing the coaching situation in DC, the different offensive coordinators Campbell has had and the Redskins' awful performance since Snyder bought the franchise and then he throws it to Gruden who says, "I think the story tonight is the Giants."

Great, but Mike didn't ask you about the Giants. He asked you about the Redskins. Gruden may stay with MNF, but he's still holding out hope for a paycheck from Snyder. As long as he's using MNF as an extended interview for his next coaching job it's going to severely limit his effectiveness as an analyst.
