Yeah, could drop Rexy right now.

Aside from Kirk's amazing performance, just really amazed at how good our defense looks right now. Still giving up a big play here and there, and points on the board, but the key turnovers are really giving us the edge in this 5 game streak.. Hasletts doing a great job. And -- R.Jackson has been a beast, Kerrigan has fly swatters for hands, and Fletch defies age.

After Pittsburg and a couple of games where fletch wasn't close to a 100% I thought he was about done. Not so much anymore. He has played excellent the last few weeks.

He's still hurt, Fletcher is a man. The only thing he hasn't done well is covering TE, I attest that to his age.

It's sad, London is less than 2 years older than me, but I think of him as a grandpa. The NFL is a strange beast.

I thought it was pointless to keep Rex on the roster after he was dropped to 3rd string, until I found out how valuable he's been to the two rookies. He's mentored them all season dealing with on and off field matters. He's an incredible teammate and RG3 especially has depended on him a lot.

Do you think we keep him next year? Give what you've said, I think it's worthwhile.

Don't know if it's mentioned but..

Redskins K Kai Forbath made a 44-yard field goal and is 15 of 15, one shy of the NFL record to start a career

I think we'll let him test the market and if nothing's out there we'd be happy to have him back. Not a priority though

That's good news... There wasn't a market for him this year so I don't know why there would be next.

I was aggravated to hear the post-game crew reporting that the Redskins staff had revealed that Cousins was drafted in part because they thought they might be able to turn him around this season for a first round pick, especially given the weakness of this year's draft at the QB position.

Given RGIII's style of play and increased risk for injury, I think it is critical that Redskins keep a quality backup QB, namely Cousins. Hated to hear that the plan may include swapping him for a first round pick this season. I suppose that is why we ultimately root for the uniform rather than specific players because players come and go quickly in this league.

I would just love to see both QB's and Kyle stick with team for a long time. Kyle has become a master play-caller in the NFL!

Not much making sense here.

He's not going anywhere this season, the trade deadline has come and gone.

I think people are getting way ahead of themselves with this Cousins trade speculation. Way ahead.

That was idle speculation, nothing more.

I don't think he's going anywhere for another year. You don't flip a QB that fast.

And certainly not for a 1st.

Cousins will be back for another year at least.

But if someone is crazy enough to give up a 1st... We'd be nuts not to take that and run.

Uhh yeah...

If he is ever good enough to get a 1st I am guessing it won't so easy for us to part with him considering how he would have to earn that much respect in the league. Certainly one good game and a few flashy mop-ups won't do the trick.
