If we still have him I think this game doesn't matter we may still have lead this division by now. Losing him just killed our OLine which kills your offense under Parcells.
 
I think you are spot on about Flo's loss killing our season, however, no offense can operate with no offensive line :(
 
Flozell would have solidified our OLine. I'm sorry Petitti is a good OT. But he can't be the best OT on your team. He may have a long career in the NFL as a good OT. But Flozell has a shot at being a HOF OLineman in the future. If you have him you have 2 good tackles a HOF guard and another good OG in Rivera. Center is weak but that's a solid OLine. Now we don't have a good OLine because you don't have a guy you that even takes on double teams all the time. Larry Allen is still good but he's not the same as he once was.

A healthy Flozell locks up a playoff for us by this game. I'm not saying we would have won this game for sure. But we would have probably already locked up a playoff spot. Now we have to win out and hope other teams lose.
 
Sorry

Im not letting Mike Zimmer and Bill Parcells off the hook that easy.

So many teams in this league have had major injuries and still are competing.
 
might as well throw sean payton into that list
 
I agree we look like a badly coached team. But we are also facing a well coached team. We came in unprepared. Maybe a bit undermanned at the Line. Our defense will be fine with experience. Losses like this will help. And we are well coached. It's just Washington's schemes overwelmed our guys. Hopefully we can get a good OLineman in the draft. Be healthy at that position next year and get maybe a FS or another corner to help the defense. Our front 7 is pretty good I think. Maybe Dat Ngyen's leadership is missed there but they have talent.

Forgot about him

Yeah, he gets invited to the party also.

In 2004, we all knew the players needed to get overhauled.

Now it is time for a Coaching Staff overhaul.

Not saying get rid of Parcells, but Jerry really needs to talk to him about some things going on this season

Our front 7 is pretty good? In case ya haven't noticed, they're getting run all over and applying little pressure these last few games.
 
I think they are talented in the front 7. It's just they are also young. No one talks about a guy like Dat. But he basically called the plays and was the leader there. You would see defenders look at him every play. And he was almost always making plays. I hope he can come back. But his loss this year was huge to. Not as big as Flo's loss.
