Crazy. I think Hatcher has been the big difference maker so far. Having that inside push just makes the whole thing go.

Hatcher was an absolute beast today. Responsible for so much good on that D. Great pickup.

It certainly seems that way. Getting pressure from our d-lineman is something we're not really accustomed to. I don't remember any sacks last year when we didn't send some kind of blitz. Today the pressure was constant. Of course, the Jags suck, so our optimism should be probably be tempered.

He has been great, but the D-Line in general. Baker looked outstanding today. I wanna see how they hold up versus a top offensive line next week versus the Eagles.


But, Hatcher, Kerrigan, and Robinson have been crucial throughout 2 games.

Amerson has well, I wish he would have had that pick today.

Everyone needs to take a breath and chill. KC played an outstanding game. Coming off the bench cold like that is very difficult to do. He made some throws that were as good as you'll see. He and Grant have obvious chemistry. But it's one game. Let's see how it plays out. Calling it RG3's last game is ridiculous. But some of you need to realize that having a good backup is crucial. J Gibbs use to say that's he's the 2nd most important guy on your team and I agree.

Best case for Griffin is probably 6-8 weeks. If he makes it back this year you evaluate where the team is heading at that point and make a decision. It's way too early to have any real idea of what might happen.

Let's see how the MRI goes.

I wouldn't hold your breath for his return this season. Hope I'm wrong. But doesn't sound good from people I've heard from (one of whom should absolutely know)

Yeah won't surprise me. I'm pretty much planning on the worst.

That would be a dilemma since it will be a contract year for both RGIII and Cousins? Or is it the following year? If Cousins plays the rest of the season like he did today, RGIII will be no longer a skin in the future.

The Defense , two great games this year ! With RG111 and DJax going down early , we played extremely well . If we were told this morning we would be w-out RG , Reed and DJX , you would not have expected 40 points . Negatives, Inj's and penalties .

Regardless if you think Griffin was the answer or not. He gave it a 1000%. You got feel bad for him. He looked like he was going tear up when they were carting him back.

Griffin still has one more year. Team will have decision to make on picking up 5th yr option.

How about Niles Paul? Jordan Reed may not get his job back. Don't want to get ahead here but this is the sign of a good team. Starting QB, TE and WR is out? No big deal. Drop 41 and 400 plus yards of offense. And they may not be able to keep this Redd kid on the bench either.

My two cents: the last time RGIII was healthy, he was an elite QB and one of the best we've ever had. Then there was last year, when he was no where near healthy, the head coach and O-Coordinator seemed as concerned with undermining RG as they were with winning. And the defense couldn't stop a pop warner team. I'm confused that there are so many people willing to discard him in the hopes that the backup is the next Montana. There's one thing every annoying fan of every team believes: the backup QB has Hall of Fame talent. So that said, as far as the positives and negatives of this week, I only have one thing:
Negative: RGIII getting injured.

Really isn't about Griffin anymore. You can't build a team around a glass slipper. At this point Cousins is the only answer. Griffen was a flash in the pan; sucks but that seems to be his identity.
