We played two good teams. Good teams are going to make a run at you at some point. Their coaches are going to throw the kitchen sink at you coming out of halftime. The key for the Redskins was to absorb their best shot and then regain control of the game. The Skins did exactly that and put away the Rams in the 4th quarter. That's how it's done.
2. Kirk Cousins is not going to be able to carry the team without a running game to help him.
No shit, Sherlock! Nobody is comparing Kirk Cousins to Tom Brady. The Redskins formula is to have a strong running game and a QB who can complement it with short to medium passes. Kirk is supposed to read the defense and make accurate throws to the correct receivers. If you would like to call Kirk a "game manager", go ahead. He isn't going to be an All-Pro but if he can be efficient we can win with him. Let's be happy to have Kirk the Truck Driver to keep this runaway truck of an offense on the road.
We won! Life is good. HTTR!

Agreed. The Rams were never really in the game and I never felt like the Skins lost control even after the Britt TD.
Our formula is clearly based on the running game and defense. Nothing wrong with that, a lot of teams have won a lot of games with that approach.
