I'm much less worried about the offense if they can put up 34 with an inexperienced backup on the road. And I don't think the iggles ever really stopped the O as much as a few missed passes/WR reads stopped the O. We'll find out about KC/RGIII in the long run.

But we're gonna need more bodies on D, especially in the secondary. We don't seem to have anyone capable of playing free safety, a crucial spot in the Pitt style D we play. We are very inexperienced/weak and corner now. And Ryan Clark, who I really like so far, is near the end of his career. I think this won't get fixed this year--but it's obviously a priority in FA/draft next year. So this means were going to continue to give up big pass plays to good teams, teams who can keep our much-improved front 7 off the QB. Get used to it: we were 3-13 last year; getting to 6-10/7-9 is a VERY big improvement, though I think we might see it. But getting beyond that requires a secondary.

I like Gruden's offense so far, and it was great to see DJax getting his moment there. Too bad we couldn't pull it out. Niles Paul was good again. Loved to see the big plays--nice screen to Helu. We put some hits on Foles but he stood tall and we never got that crucial INT. Great strip fumble, though. Fun game to watch as a football fan. Tough to lose, as a Redskins fan. F*** Philly.

Too bad about the short week, but we NEED this next one. Unfortunately, the half-assed Texans gave the gints new life there. They ran the ball well, pressured the QB, etc. Still, they are eminently beatable. Please skins, don't s*** the bed on Thursday!!!

The Eagles will hang 30 on just about everyone. Even the best Defenses get tripped up. The Chargers just put up 30 on the Seahawks. Happens.

Todays NFL is all about those end of game drives, and whoever has the ball last has to get it done.

Anyway it's surprising how JoeRedskin is willing to give Cousins all the patience he never gave RG3. Cousins throws a pick that's understandable. rG3 throws a pick he is a bad QB. I don't hate Cousins I am just keeping Joe honest. Anyway we need to beat the Giants.

cousins won't be able to overthrow RG3 by losing.

Whoa now, JR was (and is) a huge RG3 fan. If you are gonna call someone out, at least try and get facts straight. Would you try posting links to JR calling out RGIII???

It was, I heard it was one of those infamous "celebrating the loss" parties.

So much wrong in this statement, I don't even know where to begin ... and just not worth the effort.

Ya know, I think the Eagles game showed exactly who we as a franchise are RIGHT NOW. Every strength (depth, lots of offensive threats, good run stopping) and every weakness (penalties, ST, crunch time awareness) was highlighted. Probably the 2 surprising things that didn't show up, were our two strongest attributes - pass rush, and rushing, which without watching tape, I imagine Philly gave special emphasis to those two things to prevent them from being the reason Philly lost. Imagine gameplanning to take away the strengths of your opponent - How RUDE!

as a huge griffin fan (and cousins, for what its wroth) and someone who thinks people are being way too hard on him...

cousins play concerned me yesterday...

only because i'm concerned no matter what decision we make, it may not be the right one

would suck to watch either go and have a successful 10+ year career somewhere else while we continued to suck with bad qb play...

i'm just used to this organization making bad decisions

I thought Cousins was great yesterday. Yeah, he should have made those throws at the end, but he never should have been in the position where he had to win the game there in the first place. He carried the team the whole day, with the defense sucking for the most part and the special teams giving up a touchdown and missing a short FG. If the defense had been at least solid and the special teams had been mistake free... for once... he wouldn't have had to have been counted on as the comeback hero and we would have won in a cakewalk. Cousins was the least of the problems yesterday, in my opinion.

Now, if he stays a starter, he'll eventually be counted on to win games no matter how bad his team around him plays, but putting this loss on him is unreasonable, considering he only has a few starts under his belt and was one of the biggest reasons the team was even in position to win.

pretty much sums it up
