    Skins/Gi'nts II (What the hell is happening?)

    How can Sexy Rexy throw two INTs in the first half and we still be winning 17-3? Our D must be kicking a$$. Or Manning just stinks today.

    I would hate for us to win this game. It makes no sense.

    D hasn't been GREAT but the Giants have failed to put anything together. Even missed a FG. Grossman has been ghastly too.

    This has been a bizarre game.

    Well both picks were basically punts.

    Other than that, Grossman has been pretty good.

    The D has played well, but got some help from the Giants, especially from Nicks dropping a deep ball that should have been a TD.

    They finally won the turnover battle. Five rookies started, Royster, Paul, and Nield all made solid contributions. I like the direction.

    Screw the direction right now. Anything that doesn't help them get a better draft pick is going in the wrong direction, hence, even when they "win" they still lose! I didn't have time earlier to make a thread, but if I had I would have stated that I was hoping for them to salvage a split in the season series. Oh well...I really hope the Browns win.

    As long as they are committed to trading up for a QB if they need to, I don't mind the wins but I'd be lying if I said I'd rather them win because I think this might be the most important draft in the past 20 years for the Skins.

    Miami won. Who else is going for a QB? They'll still have their opportunity to get Barkley or Griffith.

    Browns will probably trade up with 2 first rounders or they might not even have to, to take a QB. Just gotta hope Barkley and RG3 both enter the draft.

    You think they'll give up on McCoy that quickly? Maybe so, but they could make a lot strides with those two picks to round out their team.

    I think both of those guys will come out.

    How many drafts have they pissed away by trading away their picks in bad deals either to move up or get a washed-up player? I'm tired of that, and the attempt to actually accrue picks for the 2011 draft was much appreciated. They need to just keep losing so they don't have to turn to the option of trading picks away (which I'm fairly sure this regime would be fairly reluctant to do). Play competitive football if it makes things nicey-nicey, but still manage to lose. In prior seasons that would piss me off to no end, but right now it's just what the doctor ordered.

    Yeah in no way shape or form do I want them to trade for a washed up player. Trading up for a YOUNG FRANCHISE QB in the top 5 or taking one outright is something the Skins have NEVER done. That is the goal for the offseason. You get it done in any way shape or form.

    Yes, it's better for the future if they get a better pick. But they can't just lose on purpose. I'm not going to get up in arms over a win over the Giants where they played quite well.

    I really like how Riley has improved during the season. With Jenkins coming back, the front seven looks pretty solid. I doubt that Rocky comes back, so they'll need some depth at inside linebacker. The two tackles had really good games. I'dlive for them to get a solid RT in rounds 2-4. Then maybe smith can be a backup on both sides.

    Well there definitely goes your chance at a top 5 pick and probably your chance to get Barkley and RG3.

    Yeah, don't get me wrong. I like beating our NFC East opponents as well as ALL of our opponents. But, now we are somewhere between 7th and 10th. I think we will be 7th or 8th because we lost to Miami, Carolina, and Buffalo... as long as we lose the last two. If TB, Cle, or Jax win one more, I wonder how that affects the picks?
