A big, if not critical, point of interest to me will be to see if Grossman is active. It would be a bit telling of the coaches evaluation of Cousins if after 5 consecutive games where he is the backup, after his first shot he no longer carries the lone backup banner. I don't know what I would want them to do, but I will be very interested to see how it is handled, assuming Griffin plays.

Yup. Right on.

I hope that Grossman is our #2. Sure, he might throw 3 interceptions. But he also might play quite well (good Wrecks/bad Wrecks). Cousins looks lost and in need of seasoning.

I think we'll win. I just saw RGIII in a Subway commercial and he seemed pretty coherent.

after the smoke clears i honestly think it will be best to sit rg3 out of this game... i want him to recover correctly and i think we can win this game without him by controlling the clock, converting 3rd downs and limiting thier running attack... i would feel comfortable with a solid gameplan limiting asking either of our back ups to do TOO much... i think we can win this game no matter who plays at qb... we just have to play smart and hope our coaches can coach the team to a win with a solid gameplan.

I tend to think the decision to keep him out last week was overly cautious (a good thing in the heat of the game to take it out of the player and coach's hands) but if he passes the full battery of tests that they go through, and is cleared then there is really no reason to keep him out, in my non medical non holiday inn express staying opinion.

He didn't know what quarter it was or the score, so I'm not sure it was overly cautious sitting him out the rest of the game, but I think he's ready to play come Sunday.

They asked him twice per WT, one time he did, one time he didn't. He wasn't crazy loopy, but again, I like that the error during the game is on side of caution, because it's too easy for a competitive coach and competitive player to push through a non obvious injury.

I know there is probably no such thing as a mild concussion, but the word is that RG3 didn't ever really "black-out" so that's a good thing. Did he get rattled? Absolutely, but the fact that he was not unconsious really helps his chances of getting back this week I think.

The Redskins are long overdue for a win at home.

Vikings 14

Yup. Birds cowgirls and gints all have tough games.
