Griffin described the play as one where he saw the specific defense and that they had prepared for that look. Then, depending on the linebackers he was either throwing to the hot read or running for the first. obviously he ran it.

I guess, but wasnt it kind of a no brainer? Without him on this team we are three years into Shannys tenure and a real sh#t bomb of a team. Again - RG-3 is keeping alot of jobs safe, and they should all realize that and buy him something really nice for x-mas.

Don't think you can call any deal giving up 4 draft picks including three number 1s a no brainer. He could easily have been the next Jamarcus russel. I'm just glad he's as advanced as he is in the passing game. While cam was amazing last year, he doesn't hold a candle to RG as a passer.

Yes, there was risk involved in giving up so many high draft picks to get RG3 but don't be ridiculous by comparing him to Jamarcus Russell. RG3 could never have been a total bust like Russell. With RG3, the only risk was that he might turn out to only be a good pro QB instead of the great pro QB we were seeking.

I'm thinking the same thing. The receivers looked like they were running routes instead of blocking.

We beat a 4-1 team by 12 points. No one is getting fired.

At least he was true to his word that even with a large win he would be mad at the defense.

I look forward to his inciteful and constructive critiques in future posts.

Hes only considered a defenseless receiver if he had called for a fair catch, pass catchers dont have the option of calling for a fair catch. People that are runners have helmet to helmet contact all the time that is never called, and since he refused to call a fair catch, hes considered a runner.

He shouldnt be fined, but we also know that Roger loves to fine the skins for the most mundane of things. Look at the bright side, we havent had a blatant call overturned by a disgraceful review. We normally have a few of those by now.

This may be nothing but did anyone else notice Kirk Cousins negative body language during the game? I mean, he was expressionless and motionless as RG3 ran past him on the game-clinching 76-Yd TD run. Cousins didn't even turn his head to watch RG3 score. I'm wondering if Cousins might be developing an attitude problem.

I saw Cousins walk over and congratulate him. By all accounts, Cousins is a stand up guy. I think you're reading wayyyy too much into it.

I think he's just not a big rah-rah jump around type of guy. I wouldn't read into it. He's a quality guy.

I saw that on the 76 yard run...he was like a statue on the sideline...I just laughed though.

He has a professional, Todd Collins-like demeanor. The thought ran through my mind "he knows he's never getting the job for sure now" but I have no doubts that he's a team player.

I thought we were going to be blown out after that first quarter. Holding them to nine points was pretty damn good after they moved down the field with ease.

Two turnovers led to 14 points. The final one sealed the victory and gave us our first "Victory Formation" since I can't remember when.

The longest pass play was 20 yards. We gave up about five in the 15-19 yard range. BUT - for the first time, no plays more than 40 yards in the entire game.

In the 2nd half, they gave up three long time consuming drives which yielded 14 points.

It's not the Steel Curtain, but it was enough to win and had some very good things to counter the very bad things.

Monster games yesterday: RG3, Lorenzo Alexander, Silverback, Perry Riley, Fletcher, and Stephen Bowen.

Bowen and Riley have quietly had great seasons.
