I agree. RG3 CAN'T play right now. How can there be a controversy when one guy is injured and can not get on the field. There is only 1 option right now, and it's Kirk Cousins. 1 game wasn't going to determine anything. He's the starter for at least 6 more games, so let's wait and see.

But 400 yards and a 3 to 1 TD to INT ratio is damn good for a guy making his 5th career start against a legit Super Bowl contender on their home field. Yes, he didn't get us in field goal range on the last drive, but even the most elite QBs in the league aren't perfect. How about Aaron Rodgers yesterday? 7 points? How did Brady look against the Raiders? We're not even in the game without KC. Let's just see how he does over the next 6 weeks. If he consistently fails to deliver in the clutch, then we'll probably get RG3 back and need to get fully behind him.

It's getting old. It will play itself out but one of them is going to have to be traded next off season.

Yes, once again everyone played fantastic except when it really mattered...

When you come away knowing that your backup QB has come this far, to the point where you have two starting caliber QBs, you have to be very happy.

That's an extremely good Eagles team that we went toe-to-toe with. They are a legit super bowl contender and we almost beat them in their house.

We lost lane discipline on the kickoff return for a TD, that was extremely disappointing. Otherwise I'm very happy with that game, aside from the injuries. I think we have reason to believe the Redskins will be very competitive all season long.

Paging Mr. Bailey, Champ Bailey!
You are needed in B&G.

Rather have Minnifield or Crawford. How about both and cut Porter who's wasting a roster spot.

I wouldn't mind having Crawford back, we need bodies for special teams.

In the third quarter, Silas Redd ran onto the field for a punt return, then ran back to the sideline in a panic. But he was the 11th player. The Redskins ended up fielding the punt with 10 men.

i missed that special team gem from yesterday...

[FRPLG]

Lots of reasons we lost. Special teams was a main culprit obviously.

But my issue yesterday was this. KC got us in position to win the game but when it counted he missed passes. The INT was ehhh...they happen. But he missed a couple throws that we really needed him to hit. I am afraid that is what he is as a QB.

[SFREDSKIN]

Sweet!!

From Rich Tandler:

@Carolinadon09 hearing that they might bring up Chase Minnifield from the PS. Not sure if that's enough.

IMO he missed passes early, too, but receivers bailed him out with fine catches. Near the end he missed so badly that he could not be bailed out.

Wow...I cant believe the negativity towards Cousins.
Did you see his stats FFS?
Did you want him to play corner and special teams too?

He missed on a couple passes late. Early in the game and even into the second half he was putting balls in the tightest damn windows possible. A couple of them may have appeared to be off, but they were actually placed where only the wr could make a play. Dude was nothing short of superb(especially for fifth start of his career).

I was talking about several passes which were not well-placed: pointlessly behind the receiver, etc.

You say several. I say a few. Every qb in the league misses every single game. The kid was aces yesterday. QB is thee last thing im worried about rite now as a Skins fan.
