Skins vs. Eagles Post-Game

That seemed an accurate assessment to me and in line with the criticism of his play. Once he gets "out of sorts," either by actual pressure (guys in his face, etc.) or situational pressure (2 mins to go, game on the line, etc.), he seems much less effective.



Just like I am not sure RGIII can ever be a solid rhythm/pocket passer, I am not sure KC can excel unless conditions are just right.

I think Keim is being a bit general with that assessment. There were some balls that KC threw yesterday that very few other qb's in the league make. I cannot remember if the pocket broke down or not. Aikman was gushing over the kid, and he aint exactly a Redskin homer.
Furthurmore I dont give a damn how you throw for over 400 yards, and score 31 points. Just that you do it. The guy now has 3 career starts that actually meant something. The Browns from 2012 - he lit it up. The Jags and Birds from this year - he lit it up. Ive said before and ill say it again - last years sinking ship -players quitting - coaches leaving - starts mean nothing to me. BTW I am neither a KC or Griff fan. Im a Skins fan.

It doesn't seem to be adversely affecting the team toward the end of the games. It doesn't make much sense -- you're too tired at the beginning of the game to get going, but you have juice int he second half?

Let's hope that this is the start of Eagles players becoming disenchanted with Kelly. Of course, that likely doesn't happen until they start losing.
