CSN - A lucky win for the Redskins? Or were Giants lucky to be in it?

Is it that hard to simply say, "the better team won today"?  Teams play 4 quarters for a reason.  God I hate the Giants.

The 'Skins were somewhat lucky to win BECAUSE they had completely piss-poor execution in the red zone.  

lets do the math. The 'Skins scored 29 points, which came on 2 TDs (14 points) and 5 (5!) freaking figgies, for 15 points.  They scored on 7 drives.  If you maximize the scoring, and convert every time, the 'Skins were in position to score 49 points.  IF you throw in the fact that they gave away 3 points by a completely brain cramp by both QB and coach at the end of the half, you could maximize that to 52 points.

The Giants didn't stop the Redskins offense.  The Redskins offense stopped the Redskins offense.  Let's say they convert on 60% of their scoring drives, which is league average. Link to proof that average is real

If the 'Skins were just AVERAGE in the Red Zone, they would have scored TDs on 4 of their trips, and FG on 3, for 35 points. 

The Giants would have had to play a very clean game to score 35.

The Giants were lucky (as were the Cowboys) that the 'Skins just plain suck in the Red zone.  For the record, the 'Skins are converting at a 21% clip, which is good for second to last in the league, only ahead of Houston, as it turns out.  (Note, small sample size acknowledged.)

 

Not to mention Eli could have had 6 turnover by himself yesterday. 2 fumbles, which they recovered, and the Norman and Cravens dropped INTS..
