If Cousins is kept relatively clean, he is great - rhythm passer, anticipates the route. When rushed, he throws at the receiver without the anticipation. Expect a LOT of blitzes Thursday night.

Thats a good stat and probably would see similar stats from a QB making his 5th start. I know on one of those throw Roberts got his head and hands around late on a perfectly placed pass. Anticpation on a blitz works both ways, WR have to cut off routes quicker and be ready to make a catch.

I feel bad the 'skins lost, especially to the Eagles. But at the same time, I don't feel too badly about the loss. I actually felt this team continued to progress - with the exception of special teams. No Eagles fan can truly come out of yesterday's game feeling like they don't need to look over their shoulder. They will not win the division outright. It's still going to come down to the last couple of weeks of the season.

Cousins played fantastic, again. And even though Morris didn't have a great day, the dude fights for yards, and anything, he put a pounding on the Eagles' defense. This team is going to continue to improve as the season progresses. It's not going to take Gruden long to have this team winning the division and in the playoffs on a consistent basis.
