Last year Antrel Rolle popped off after the Skins won the first game, this year we lost so D Hall has to sound off. My point? Every village has it’s idiot.

Hall you should shut your ignorant pie hole, but keep on yapping so Shanny and Danny for sure put you on the chopping block at the end of the season. The only reason you are still around this season is the salary cap punishment.

For the record in post game interview on the field on Fox Eli credited Gilbride for calling the play; anyone who’s followed Eli at all knows he’s just who he is–about the most modest guy on the planet. The sad thing today is London Fletcher looks like he could be at the end of his career, what a great player. Hall could use a lesson or two from a great middle linebacker like Fletcher, and maybe Hall can be a bit of a rocket scientist and try to defend a play at the end of the game to win for his team rather than flapping his gums. And as for the rest of the whiners about the Giants, keep whining and Eli will keep winning.

Like cowboyhater said. ” NOBODY in D.C. likes D.Hall” Majority of us just wish he would go away.

As a diehard Skins fan…shut up DeAngelo. You have 9 games left with the Skins. With the $10 million we will save by cutting you after June 1st, we can sign 2 safeties and your replacement. Don’t say another word until the secondary you are ‘the leader’ of is not ranked dead last in the NFL.

As a huge Skins fan I say: it sucks but we lost, get over it and move on to the Steelers game. Hail!

I think all he is trying to say is that they would’ve scored whether Eli recognized the coverage before the snap or not. Because the Skins D did not execute the play correctly. In other words he’s saying the way they executed the play anyone could’ve scored on them.

All of this is nonsense, look at the play D. Hall could have thrown that pass, and all that we figured it out in the first half? I guess he figured out the defense when he fired that pass directly to the linebacker on the prior possession.

The only thing D-hall is saying is it wasn’t an impressive throw because the coverage was so bad. How is that bad for him to say? Plus he was probably asked a question about it, you have to remember its an interview. Stop hating on every player that says something, it doesn’t mean anything, their just answering a reporters question. Oh and by the way, Hall wasn’t even on the coverage, it was Madieu Williams and Chris Wilson. But yeah while it was a nice throw, but a lot of guys have did that to the Redskins secondary. If they didn’t get killed by the bullcrap cap penaly, it would be a lot better. A decent secondary is the only thing stopping the Redskins from being a Super Bowl caliber team.

I would personally like to thank ever NFL team for beating themselves this season when you play the Giants. I truly appreciate it….

People need to read the article. DHall is coming closer to calling out his own D than he is saying that ‘they beat themselves’. Admitting coverage was blown isn’t the same as saying the winning team didn’t deserve it.

Under normal circumstances I agree the play is a school yard go long kind of play.What makes this play great is the fact that the play did not call for Cruz to go long.In order for this play to work, Cruz and Eli had to see the exact same coverage reads and adjust accordingly.Add in the fact that Eli was facing pressure and had to make a throw knowing he was going to get crushed.Say what you want Deangelo, but not many QB’s will execute that play contrary to popular belief.

D Hall you are the worst cornerback on a sub par secondary… You suck.. Coming from a Skins fan.

You can’t cover, you get beat all the time, you can’t tackle, you never wrap up.. Just face it you suck

I just can’t believe that with the game in hand that 1st Hall was not lined up on Cruz, 2. Safety help over the top, why not try to jam Cruz off the line rather than just chase him down the field, they could have just let him run free, which is kinda what they did. No contact off the line, or after the catch.

Then DeAngelo needs a career counselor! What pays better these days, DB on a prennial basement dwelling team, or starting QB for the defending SB champs?

As heard on a local radio station here in the DC area…”I’m just gonna call him ‘Angelo’, ‘cuz there ain’t no ‘D’ in him”…Being an avid ‘Skins fan, I wholeheartedly agree!

Sadly, DHall could neither throw nor defend that pass. Is it a coincidence that DHall got signed the same year as Fat Albert Haynesworth?

Yeah, and I bet Eli can tackle better than Hall.

Eli is the modern day Joe Montana. Don’t try and figure it out and enjoy legendary greatness as it unfolds.

I’m getting tired of people hating on the Giants success.

“Factless Eli Manning is overrated claim.”

“The Giants didn’t win the opponents beat themselves.”

“The New York Giants are proof that it’s better to be lucky than good.”

“Other generic hateful comment.”

What exactly do the Giants need to do…
Sounds like quite a cop-out a Mr. Hall.

accidents dont happen week in week out year after year. the more these guys stay in denial the more the Giants will run the league. Suits me just fine.

No, you couldn’t have. That was a great throw that a lot of QBs miss a lot of the time. At the same time, your team’s worthless coverage made it possible. Less than two minutes left and the secondary let Cruz behind them? I could have called a better defense than that.

Just another player saying the 2X Super Bowl Champ Giants didn’t beat them, that team beat themselves.
No respect.

Even when he seems to try to be self-deprecating he still winds up sounding like a giant ego. Just don’t talk to the media anymore, Hall, okay?

Why does it always seem to be the Giants, when people say “they didn’t beat us, we beat ourselves.” The packers in the playoffs last year, now this, I’m sure many other things. Why can’t they just say, we got beat, our coverage was crap.

By: robmar924

robmar924 — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 18:36:37 +0000

I think people are looking at this the wrong way. Hes not just running his mouth trash talking but just saying the defense blew it and the media is making it out like some heoric miracle play that Eli made. The defense ruined what should have been an amazing game-winning drive.

Cruz was wide open and it wouldn’t have been the most difficult throw in the world in backyard football. However, keep in mind that Eli got crushed right when he let go of it. Its one thing to hit a receiver in stride when you can stand there and step into the throw, its completely different to do it while being crushed by a blitzer.

This is the investigation the NFL needs to launch. How the Giants keep paying teams to lose to them.
