Having multiple defensive stops/turnovers to start the game against an that offense, that coming into the game was really hot, but not capitalizing on them. Not capitalizing on this normally leads to losing the game later on...
It's not an opinion centered around stats, it's one centered around the eye test. McCoy just didn't look ready/prepared to me for quite a bit.
We stayed in the game because our defense played great from start to finish. And McCoy eventually settled in. But in the totality of the game, I personally am surprised Dallas wasn't able to get over the hump and eventually win.
When you listen to redskins fans and media you'd think McCoy had a lights out performance. That's just not what I saw at all.
Even more so, people are using the performance to justify not starting Griffin even if he is 'ready.' Which to me is absurd. To take that one game and walk away saying McCoy gives us a better chance to win than Griffin seems absurd to me. Yet, there are a lot of people doing it...

McCoy was extremely nervous in the beginning and it showed. Heck, it showed in his pre-game interview. And, absolutely, he made some mental mistakes. But the thing is, these are mistakes that are easily corrected. McCoy showed an ability to hang in and make the big plays when the team needed them the most. That's something Kirk hasn't been able to do this year.
I think it really all depends upon how mentally ready RGIII is. He could very well come in and make the same mistakes, as well as making the big plays. Overall, I'm excited to see Griffin on the field as I didn't think we'd see him at all this season, but McCoy should definitely be #2.
