Like his attitude

I'm actually pretty happy. Think about the football we've seen in the past seasons? We had one year where we were competitive. ONE! I'm glad just to see us like we can hang, be in games near the end of them.

I can see expectations are high around here lol.

Ha. Don't get me wrong, I like winning. But, I'd much rather see a game like today where the skins look like a professional team than the Houston game where it looked horrible.

As painful as it was to lose in the manner that we did. This did make my day!

We seriously need a kicker who can put the ball in the back of the end zone on kickoffs. If Forbath is going to be getting XPs blocked, and missing go-ahead 33 yard FGs in the 4th quarter, I'd like to see what Hocker could do in a real game, given the chance.

My notes on today's game:

1. ST lost this game, and Kai gots to go!
2. Cousins played a hell of a game (not looking good for team RG3), but he choked. He did, he had the win in his hands and he couldn't deliver. Sorry team KC, but until he wins a comeback, this will be hanging over his head.
3. Why couldn't we get a sack? Was last week a mirage? Were their receivers just getting open too quickly? Is Foles Jake the Snake incarnate?
4. Perry Reily needs to work on coverage, badly!
5. Did Merriweather even play today?
6. I was boosted for DJax and his F U touchdown!
7. Redskins are starting to look like a contender, if they could just get out of there own way.
8. I can't wait for South Park, sh#% looks funny as hell!
9. We want NY!
Edit: 10. Cage Match: Saden vs. Gary84Clark, two crazies go in, one comes out! I'm taking bets.

For the record, I'm team Redskins, I don't care who wins the starting QB job in the long run as long as winning games comes first! Bruce and Jay are gonna have one hell of a decision to make in a few weeks, and however this plays out it will be the defining decision of this Front Office.

#2 Cousins is still a guy with only 5 starts under his belt. We may find out Garçon ran the wrong route on that last play, but I agree they have to get in field goal range and will reserve judgement on KC until everyone finishes their film breakdown. Even if it's on him, he still played a great game and was THE main reason they were even in the game. Team RG3 gets the doors blown off. If KC keeps playing like this, the job is his. If he happens to improve, which is entirely plausible, fuh-get about it!

I gotta say, when we got the ball back in great field position I thought that we were going to win. I was secretly hoping they would put Redd and his fresh legs in and let him steal the win, but what ever the case the fact that we couldn't get a first down at that point was purely pathetic.

After last weeks game and specially with Helu banged up (that was reported last week) I was expecting to see more Grant and Helu. I love the way those 2 play, Grant looks like he's been around for a few years, runs great routes and is smart. Redd would have been great to use today since Morris was getting pounded and would have spelled him without missing a beat.

Last week Roberts and Grant made some big plays, I have faith in them regardless of rookie status.

I am adjusting my fandom. We didn't win but we did good. So much better than before. Who needs a win as long as the stat sheet looks good.

Breeland will do fine. We should stay close in games now.

I like to think we're capable of beating the Giants, but if Hall, Hatcher, and Reed are all out, our chances get a lot slimmer. Hopefully we get good news on those guys this week. On that note, having another game so quick really sucks. On the bright side, I guess, we'll have a long week to get healthy and prepare for the toughest game of the year.

It's gonna hurt having Hall out however, I AM excited to see more Breeland. The dude is a gamer. Forced fumble today and nearly a pick. He makes plays and once he has some real live games under his belt I could see him panning out nicely.

I said this in the offseason and I stand by it, Amerson and Breeland are the new 1 & 2 Corners for us in the future. Lets see how they play together.

Now if we could only get those Safety positions shored up....
