And to agree with some other posters,damn where would this secondary be if Hall wouldnt have taken that pay cut and resigned with us?
And Morris and Helu both played well.
Did Orakpo ever come back in after his injury?

Dude, I think Kirk is a quality QB, and I am not going by today's debacle, but last year and that people are not going to hold on to distant memories. He isn't going to get us a first or maybe even a second round pick. He is a good backup, and a player we really need to hold on to. RG III might go down as the most over hyped player in league history. This kid was set for life via endorsements before he took his first snap, so he is rich even if he is a bust. Doesn't do anything for the organization though now does it? We need to hold on to Kirk because we need a decent backup, and might even have to hold the line with him as a starter ala Gus Frerotte did once Shuler was chucked.

MSU players(QBs anyway) generally do not make good NFL caliber starting material, but do make decent backups. My point is that Kirk isn't going to garner any teams 1st round pick. If they need a QB that bad they will draft one in the first round anyway. Right now RG III isn't looking so hot, and might become one of the greatest over hype jobs in NFL history when it is all said and done. We need Cousins as a solid backup and part time starter til we sort this mess out. If Shanny does get the boot after this season or next, the new HC might draft yet another QB(Braxton Miller if he stays for his senior year?), just as to have "his" guy.

I don't want a first rounder for him. We need to keep him because RG3 may not be the future here.

Also, the whole Cousins as trade bait was brought up over a few games of last season, and I emphasize LAST SEASON. That short order work isn't going to get a team to give up a coveted 1st rounder for a good backup. If a team is going to give up a first rounder for a good QB, why not just draft one with your first rounder. The whole concept is moronic.

Id probably ask, What is the plan? short and long.

This game was there to be won today. But there is a reason why we're a two win team at this point of the season. But if there is a game ball to be given it goes to D. Hall. He is playing at a Pro Bowl level.

Man is going to be paid this offseason. I have never thought much of him, but he has probably been the MVP of the team. It is not even close on the defense.

Said my peace at the end of th3 game day thread... playcalling is an absolute
joke and our d is not..

I might be the only here who thinks RG3's lack of development time is also a contributing factor here, along with his still obvious knee issues. Even when we were terrible last year, I don't remember his passes being this off the mark. He's also making bad decisions, i.e. throwing to a triple-covered Jordan Reed when Pierre Garcon is wide open for the td. It looks like a combo of defenses knowing how to prep for us, a lack of development for RG3, and his knee still not being 100%. As far as anyone pissed about today's game goes, who didn't think we would have had to overcome long odds to beat the Broncos today? We got pleasantly surprised for 3 quarters, then the Broncos got it in gear and played up to their standards.

The Broncos adjusted at halftime, the Redskins as usual didn't.

Sadly, this isn't true. The Redskins did adjust. They stopped running the ball...I don't know if it was Kyle's way of trying to be too clever, catch Denver off guard and hope to put up a couple quick TDs, but it was a horrible adjustment. Should have stuck with what was working - Alfred Morris - 5+ yards per carry, sprinkle in Helu and occasional play action pass. What more do you need?

[skinsfaninok]

Today was probably the worst game Griffin has ever had . He was terrible and didn't even look like he was ready.
I knew we wouldn't beat Denver but I was hoping our offense would play good
