Not a real surprise.

Great post cali on the breakdown of KC. KC was inaccurate and made poor decision making. I think he was too nervous going into that game. The crazy thing is that if Jones scored we still would of been in the game. Even with KC playing bad we still was in the game. Hopefully he bounces back this week.

Plus that posts tells other people on here that coaching was not the problem Thursday night. It was on KC and Jones. KC made at least 6 bad reads and throws. This simply can not happen every week. That is where you put the blame not Gruden. I know a lot of you on here wanted to blame that loss on Gruden which is absolutely crazy.

Gruden can be faulted for his team not being ready to play, conditioning issues, STs woes, lack of adjustments during the game and the rash of mental mistakes like penalties that are constant. However, he can't be faulted for players getting beat or not executing and his play calling is fine.

The team was ready to play. KC was not mentally ready to play. The play calls were fine. KC just missed throws and made wrong reads. Any QB who does that will not win the game. There is no way the Giants loss was on Gruden.

Dean, the loss was a team loss, including the coaches, QB,STs and defense. No one individual was the sole reason why they got blown out. There were so many issues that the culmination is what causes a blow out.

cmon jy19. Most of the blame should fall on KC shoulders. If KC was accurate on his throws it wouldn't have a been a blow out. If you are going to assign blame to someone its KC without a doubt. Add Jones to list too. The guys who turn the ball over should get the blame for the loss.

Not sure I'd like Scherff having to change sides just as he's excelling in his spot.

That's just it. I'm not assigning blame to any one individual, there were too many breakdowns for that. KC had nothing to do with ST gaffes or lack of turnovers by the defense or Jason reed's two drive killing penalties. I'm also not defending KC. His play contributed to the loss, no doubt.

Oh my

Also have to actually GET the TO of course. Cully has dropped 2 i think and Keenan had an opportunity too IIRC. We've had some shots, just hasn't happened yet. The D has to be more opportunistic.

A good pass rush definitely helps the D get opportunities for some TOs. Just gotta execute. Losing Galette ( even tho he never played in a real game) definitely hurt us. He was the one player showing some legit speed off the snap.

Absolutely! I wouldn't swear to it but I think Trent Robinson dropped one last game. Fumbles have been on the ground and Skins have not recovered. Chances have been there, you have to want the ball more.

Not a beat reporter but is usually pretty reliable with his skins info

 

[deanpet21]

jy the ST only cost us 2 points. You can expect a defense to get turnovers to bail you out. KC was missing wide open WR for TD's. That trumps everything else.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

I'd put some of the blame on penalties stopping drives as well.

On the Eagles new kicker

 

[gkekoa]

Are we missing Amerson?

Are we missing Amerson?

breeland will be fine . he is a hard worker

 

[Dexter's Better]

I worry the Philly offense is going to get health against the depleted secondary. If the front four don't generate a pass rush I don't see how this team keeps it close...

The margin for error for Skins is very small for a win. Not enough talent / depth yet to overcome the mistakes that were made in the Giants game.

 

[j_y19]

Breeland got picked on because Culliver was on the other side. Pretty easy choice.
