Fancy a change of avatar Tincow?

Sure, he's got the nice red hood, and that's all I care about.

Well of course, it is your 5th chief weapon.

[OverKnight]

I'm getting a Heart of Darkness vibe from Vissarionas now, but is he Harlow or Kurtz?

[Ramses II CP]

We won't know until he gets to Dongola, if he gets to Dongola.

As long as he doesn't turn out to be Dennis Hopper's character from Apocalypse Now, I'll be cool with it.

[Northnovas]

Hey AG, Game on!

[ULC]

Gah! Will no one return my PM's?

[Ignoramus]

I'm a bit annoyed that I wasn't consulted about flyd's latest story. I would like to be privy to any stories concerning my character.

It was pretty clearly a dream set in the future, dreamed by Isaakios in the present. I don't see your point.

[Ignoramus]

Ok, sorry. I didn't realise that it was a dream. My apologies.

Hey AG, Game on!

BIG WIN buddy!!

Jacbos just unloaded on you guys last night, sorry about that. Did you see Landry get nailed and then go to the sideline??!!

[Ramses II CP]

I saw that AG, and then I watched that below average Redskins D stall the Giants drive after drive. Plenty of yards, solid running game, and yet not enough punch to put a bad team down. The Giant's short passing game was unsteady all night, and killed drives the whole second half.

On the other side, Jason Campbell looked scared after the first quarter, and Clinton Portis looked frustrated. Can't help but think the 'skins are short on leadership. Twice they had good chances to go for it on 4th and short and they punked out with the game on the line.

I could not have summarized better. Campbell can't get the clock management figured out he is too slow or too fast. He just does not look comfortable continuing from last year.

I agree for the most part. But it's week one. Who's going to dominate in this league week in week out?

I was happy with our D the whole game and with our O for the first half. I'll take that on week one anytime. Even more pertinent was that the D has 5 new starters and they were much better than the O. I see the O getting better over time.

The second half drives were killed by the two sacks and the INT.

I only caught a bit of the third quarter. Did McDougle (the new DE) do anything?

Ahh, but I don't expect dominance, especially not within your division. I do expect, however, consistency, and IMHO the Giants offense lacked it last night, especially in their short passing game. I would argue that both sacks were set up by the lack of success passing against the middle of the 'skin's D, though it's always a matter of interpretation so I may just be pushing an agenda.

All that being said, a W is a W the world around. Everything else is just prep work for the next game. And, of course, I'm not a Giants or Redskins fan, so I look for what makes them beatable more than what makes them good.

I sincerely hope that Jason Campbell gets it together. I think he's got a solid arm and with some consistent coaching he could be a good QB. Somehow I'm not sure he'll find anything worth the name 'consistent' while he's on Chainsaw Dan's team though.
