Giants 45, Dignity 12

Our dignity was crushed, pummeled, whupped, bodyslammed, kicked in the teeth, ripped to shreds.  I'm not even really going to dignify this performance with the usual blog entry.  Here's what you need to know:

Giants start with ball, keep it for 9 minutes, never getting a play over 14 yards, scoring on a running td.

3 and out.

Giants get it back, go 6 or 7 minutes, get another touchdown.  This game is over.  Campbell had no time to throw, got sacked 5 times, and thrown around like a paper bag in a hurricane.  Look at Laron Landry up there--he really thinks that that is how you tackle someone.  He is a bum.  A straight up b-u-m.

The team didn't come to play.  We kind of thought Zorn had got them to keep playing despite the 2009 circus, and they would finish the season with a determined effort because they are professionals/they respect the game/they are auditioning for future jobs somewhere.   No.  'Twas not the case.  These Redskins did not want to play.  Maybe you can't really blame them all that much, but that's the truth.

Fred Davis seemed interested in competing.  He made 5 or 6 catches including a touchdown where he broke a tackle at the goal line.  He also hurdled some dude to get a first down. 

Santana Moss caught a long pass from Todd Collins after almost dropping.  Then he spun the ball on the ground despite being down 24-0.  Seriously, dude?

Campbell got beat up bad, and he gets credit for wanting to come back in the game.  He led the team to two td drives.  He also looked terrible on a couple of throws, including an overthrown screen returned for a touchdown, and a few incomplete passes where his body language said who gives a shit and the ball landed at the receiver's feet.

Then there's fake field goal play.  Down 24-0 with 3 second left in the first half, Zorn orders the FG team the sprint out to the left, leaving Malcolm Kelly and another guy on the "line"  with Hunter Smith and Gano behind them.  Giants called timeout, very similar to the situation in the Broncos game.

And just like in the Broncos game, they went out with the same formation.  Hunter Smith threw it up deep left, it was picked off, and ran back to midfield.  What a total embarassment.  Zorn said in his press conference that it didn't work because the defense was good.  That's like me saying that I can't dunk a basketball because gravity is good.  Screw you, Zorn.  Seriously, eff you.  Did it feel good sticking it to management?  Good, now hit the bricks.  Enjoy coaching Brady Quinn in Cleveland.

There was also a fight after the game was out of hand following a sack by Lorenzo Alexander on third down.  DHall took on Brandon Jacobs who took a couple of swings, but it was Albert Haynesworth that was called for the penalty when he tried to defend Hall.  No penalty called on Jacobs.  This kind of pushed me over the edge and I refused to speak for about 15 minutes. 

One last thing.  Suisham signed with the Cowboys, meaning he will kick the game winning field goal in overtime this Sunday night.
