With some of the post game thoughts I think it may have been a little unbearable today. lol

I didn't think the redskins played badly today at all, but when you play up to your potential once every four weeks, you tend not to do yourself any favors when you run into tough circumstances. The Falcons just keep making good personnel moves year after year (though I'm still not sure about the Jones trade).

Defense looked good today and didn't really struggle in the second half like they did in the saints game. Coaching was not a major liability today, which was cool. Well, Cousins being the no. 2 over Grossman may be a questionable decision, but this was a bed we made on draft day instead of during this practice week.

Cousins can't really be graded today. Now if he starts vs Minnesota....

Garcon is good when healthy. Coaching staff, in my opinion, is holding RG3 back. RG3 needs to learn to run out of bounds instead of getting killed. I expect a fine to the player who hit him in the helmet...

How are they holding him back?

Not letting him air it out. I'll be specific. RGIII seems to have most downfield success in spread formations. I understand the want to run the ball with Morris but, Morris is just as good running from singleback formations as he his from the I.

I'd be surprised if there was a fine. It was a pretty clean hit. I think that play was all on RG3, he needs to recognize when there are no options and throw the ball away.

He's not going to throw deep balls every play. He leads the league with 8. something per attempt. So i'm not sure what else you would have him "unleash". We have a potent running attack with Morris and RG3.

There is no handcuff's in our offense at the moment. Do they limit the amount of plays RG3 has learned? Probally, since the guy has never used a playbook in college.

Team is young, and we have 2 potential RoTY canidate's on our offense. I'm pretty excited about the future.

Here is a question for you guys, if RGIII cant play next week (most of us have a feeling he will) would you start Rex or Kirk?

Rex may be capable of playing one good game. or not...... lol
