It was all his fault. At the same time, he showed the ability to forget about it and focus on the task at hand which was a good thing.The int was not good. It wasn't all his fault however - Terry Mac had to compensate for the giants defender in front of him. It wasn't for example, like the time when Cousins threw into triple coverage, at the end of the season with the playoffs on the line, which the giants easily intercepted, thus eliminating the Redskins from playoff contention.
Me and my brother were wondering if the high throws had anything to do with his lack of height and trying to get the ball over the D Line. We weren't sure.
There were a lot of Giants fans there, I'd say about 25,000 out of approximately 40,000 total in attendance. Almost everyone was in the lower bowl, that is except those of us in suites. Many seats still boxed off in the upper decks and from what I could tell, just a scattered few up there, add drunk and high (I hate the smell of that stink weed that folks are smoking) and it got pretty damned loud. There were no fights that we could see or take note of and to his credit no water falling on the heads of customers.
I'd say approximately 25,000 out of an approximate 40+ thousand in attendance. Electricity, absolutely, although I'm not sure how much alcohol and stinkweed played into it. That said, you could feel the enthusiasm and fervor from both sides. Competing calls for offense and defense was a bit strange considering Washington was the "home" team. In the end "luck" won out and everyone in Burgundy and Gold went home happy. Giants fans were pissed, cursing and a little combative as we hit the exits and headed towards the parking lots. No fights though.
Now everyone knows that we're rooting against ourselves in as much as predictions go. We can't be all willy-nilly in openly offering this sort of information... some of those asking one or both of us to turn in our fan card might give some wicked side-eye knowing that we're true devotees!!
Here's an idea, Have Hopkins represent the group and be responsible for hunting me down, then hide me dead center on the cross-bars at Fed-Ex field. Pretty sure under that circumstance I'd be really safe!
You're right and I get the enthusiasm for Heinicke that comes from a fan base that's desperately hungry for a long term answer at the position. ANY QB that answers the call must be proven and not anointed. Heinicke has this opportunity, I'm fairly certain that he'll perform well two weeks from now against Atlanta. The true tests will be against Buffalo next week, Saints, Chiefs, Packers, Broncos, and Bucs. They will all have "film" on him.
Nonsense, I still say that Heinicke isn't an NFL starting caliber level player. He's proven NOTHING... yet, and comparing him to Cousins is an admission that he's absolutely limited. All I ask is that we don't confuse competent (like Cousins) with having an answer at QB. Hell, Daniel Jones is competent and under fire for NOT being what the folks in NY knows is the answer. If accidentally winning a playoff berth, playoff game, or that rare SB that rarely happens with these type of guys, is what some want, have at it, I'm after being in the conversation, actually winning year after year, and multiple SB's.
