Thurs Night Football: Giants at Redskins (rivalry game)

[JPPT1974]

Kirk Cousins will need some magic in the second half.

[KillerKat]

That was not a defenseless player. He lowered his own helmet into the defenders.

Yep. He already took 3 steps, he's a runner at that point.

[KillerKat]

NFL will probably write a letter to the Giants next week saying "It wasn't hitting a defenseless receiver. Sorry".

[Growl]

Yeah he wasnt defenseless. Flag was thrown for no other reason than it was a big hit.

[KillerKat]

The defenseless receiver rule applies when the receiver hasn't had a chance to run. The receiver took 3 steps. Not defenseless. Good thing it didn't really help them though since the Skins fumbled.

Eli on on fire today

half

Eli 20/24 (83.3%), 209 yds, 3 TD, 0 INT

Cousins 13/19 (68.4%), 136 yds, 1 TD, 0 INT

turnovers killing the Skins

[gettlemanjack]

Cousins and the Skins come out the 2nd half going rape mode. TD Skins. 24-14. Can the #2/#5 offense in the NFL keep it up?

[gettlemanjack]

Total yards

252 - Giants

212 - Skins

[gettlemanjack]

25-year-old TE Larry Donnell (undrafted) has yet to drop a ball that was deemed catchable out of 18 and last week also played well in another facet, earning a +2.2 in run blocking, the highest of his career. (and ESPN wrote: Tight end Larry Donnell has been the most targeted Giants receiver this season (23). Donnell has twice as many receiving first downs (12) than the next highest Giants receiver, including five of the team’s nine passing conversions on third down. Last season Giants tight ends combined for nine third-down conversions.")

now he catches a clutch 3rd down conversion to get the Giants their first 1st down of 2nd half. Now Manning fails to get a 2nd first down. Overthrows Cruz. Punt. Here comes the Skins

[gettlemanjack]

Razzle Dazzle!

[gettlemanjack]

LOL. 3rd and 3, Skins put it all on Cousins, Failure! INT! Giants already in the red zone

[gettlemanjack]

Eli with 3rd and 7. Converts! To Rueben Randle

[Tub of Goo]

big play, what do you think? TD or INT?
