The Washington Redskins are very lucky that they didn’t get clobbered on the scoreboard because they were badly outplayed in this football game.  The offense of the Redskins was awful as they only had possession of the football for 24:17 and that’s no way to win a football game.  Jason Campbell looked lost running the offense as he completed 15 of 27 passes for 133 yards with a 12-yard TD pass to Santana Moss.  Clinton Portis gave a solid effort in this game with 84 yards rushing on 23 carries (3.7 ypc) and he also laid a couple of vicious blocks on defensive linemen.  Antwaan Randle El played well despite playing with a broken hand as he caught 7 passes for 73 yards (10.4 avg).  Santana Moss didn’t really show up until late in the game as he finished with 5 catches for 37 yards (7.4 avg).  The Giants’ completely shut down TE Chris Cooley as he only caught 1 pass for 7 yards.  The Redskins finished up with 84 yards rushing on 24 carries (3.5 ypc) and they also completed 15 of 27 passes for 125 yards in this football game.  The only scoring drive that the Redskins had was set up by a 50-yard kickoff return by Rock Cartwright. 

The defense of the Redskins was on the field for a long time and it’s pretty amazing that they held the Giants to only 16 points in this game.  Linebacker London Fletcher was the main man on the Redskins’ defense in this game with 17 tackles.  Fred Smoot was pressed into the starting lineup and he had 8 tackles and a interception in this game.  Rocky McIntosh was also busy for the Redskins finishing with 8 tackles against the Giants.  Safety LaRon Landry finished with 6 tackles and 1/2 a sack but he was run over early in the game by Brandon Jacobs of the Giants and that set the tone of this game.  The Giants finished up with 154 yards rushing on 32 carries (4.8 ypc) in this football game and they completed 19 of 35 passes for 200 yards.  The Redskins have nowhere to go but up after this awful performance to open up Jim Zorn’s head coaching career.
