In a tighter game that could've come back to haunt them.

Spot on.

Also, if we had a kicker with a strong leg (55 yard field goal), we could have risen above that error.

the biggest bs myth about griffin is that he can't read defenses, either pre-snap or during the play.

I dunno Keim knows his stuff pretty well.

I have hopes that Cousins plays well......I think back to that Cleveland Browns game two years ago....he was sharp....but his three game audition last year showed that he was okay but not good.....hopefully the difference between this year and last year is coaching....Gruden and his staff will be able to get more out Cousins than the Shanahans did....

I will say this for people that might be a little too eager to discard RG3. Last year Josh McCown outplayed Cutler in Chicago. Granted its still early in the season but right now Cutler is looking like a top 10 QB while McCown has struggled to say the least. Point being, patience is a virtue.

Wait, thats what virtue means? I thought it meant an attribute that contributes to awesomeness.

McCown has been downright dreadful. They swung and missed badly on that one.

I don't know how they didn't see that.

He played so well in Chicago last year filling in for Cutler.

Any truth to the reports that RGIII might be back in 5-6 weeks - ie, before the bye? Seems awfully fast for that injury. I hope we have learned the lesson about getting him on the field before he is 100%.

it's speculation, though i believe that's the number Gruden gave as a guess.

he's in a cast for 10 days then they reevaluate, anything before that is just a guess based on how other people have recovered from the injury. my understanding is that there's a wide range for this injury. there's no fracture so it comes down to ligament damage and i assume pain tolerance.

I honestly don´t see how you could bench KC even in the unlikely case RGIII comes back in 5-6 weeks.

He´s just too good right now to bench him for an injury prone QB that hasn´t had time to prove he´s back to the level he was for one year of his pro career.

Sure, you do that with QBs like Brees, Rodgers, Manning (P), Brady - but not for a virtually unproven guy.

I'd be stunned. I fully expect Griffin to not return at all this year in fact

Is his turned ankle that bad?

I don't think he's ready to come back before Week 11-12 (partly my speculation, partly things I've been told)

So here are the scenarios

1) KC is playing well and team is winning-why rush RG3 back and disturb the groove

2) KC is playing well and team is losing-if they're losing like out of it then why subject RG3 to unnecessary pain(and I don't think they'll be out of it in this division....I sure hope not)

3) KC is not playing well...WILL NEVER HAPPEN
