Skins vs. Eagles Post-Game

Cousins has to learn how to finish. He threw several amazing passes yesterday, but with starting field position at the Eagles 41 and two full minutes, a winning QB has to be able to get at least one first down to get into tying FG range. That was simply pathetic. Lastly, I don't care how many consecutive FGs Forbath had hit. You CANNOT miss a go-ahead 33 yard FG in the 4th quarter. If his leg is too weak or injured for kick-off duty, he has to be automatic inside 40 yards. Period.


What was the sequence of events leading up to the pass he missed when Garcon was open? I dont remember. Anyway, I think you could look back at many qb's fifth start in the league and find they make mistakes. That confidence will come as he gains experience. Im ecstatic about his performance all things considered. Road game - good team - rival.

I thought Cousins was great yesterday. Yeah, he should have made those throws at the end, but he never should have been in the position where he had to win the game there in the first place. He carried the team the whole day, with the defense sucking for the most part and the special teams giving up a touchdown and missing a short FG. If the defense had been at least solid and the special teams had been mistake free... for once... he wouldn't have had to have been counted on as the comeback hero and we would have won in a cakewalk. Cousins was the least of the problems yesterday, in my opinion.



Now, if he stays a starter, he'll eventually be counted on to win games no matter how bad his team around him plays, but putting this loss on him is unreasonable, considering he only has a few starts under his belt and was one of the biggest reasons the team was even in position to win.

Anyway it's surprising how JoeRedskin is willing to give Cousins all the patience he never gave RG3. Cousins throws a pick that's understandable. rG3 throws a pick he is a bad QB. I don't hate Cousins I am just keeping Joe honest. Anyway we need to beat the Giants.

cousins won't be able to overthrow RG3 by losing.

So much wrong in this statement, I don't even know where to begin ... and just not worth the effort.

"I am Gary84Clark - facts don't apply to me."

Wow........

Ok well substitute Joe's name for Heath Evans.

Da fuq??

Lol sounds like my boss aka, "I'll an answer your email after you leave today because u won't like my answer" and "1 + 1 = 3"

Like I said, not talking about the players. Talking about the situation. My point is some people just don't get better. Will Cousins? I don't know. I sure hope so. But it's naive to just assume he will, which I think is what a lot of people here are doing

Gotcha. I don't know either. I am certainly not making any assumptions about either at this point. My hope is that RGIII comes back and shows he has grown. I would imagine that when RGIII is ready to come back, we will have a better understanding of whether KC can improve on his game's weaknesses. In the end, if we have to gamble on one breaking out of old bad habits, I would prefer to gamble on RGIII. His ceiling is just soooo much higher than KC''s.

Actually, take that back, I am ready - right here, right now - to give KC a pass, sign him to huge, crippling Tony Romo like contract, and trade RGIII for a 7th rounder and a new third string groundskeeper. 'Cause you know, RGIII is just a bad QB and Kirk "white bread" Cousins is how I roll - me and Heath Evans.

Up until this year I thought it was RG -3 or bust as far as our qb situation. Cousins was a solid backup that we might get a high draft pick for at some point if we could somehow showcase him to the league. Now I find myself not caring at all when Griff comes back. I feel like what I have watched KC do this year is just the purest form of good qb'ing i have seen in Washington in a long time. I feel like Gruden is very pleased with his qb also and just dont see Griff fitting in this offense. I am real curious how he looks against the Giants and Seahawks. Much better defenses than Jax and Philly. If he looks real solid against them I just might be fully over Griff. I feel like I need to end this with a disclaimer that says I am neither a Griff nor a KC fan. Im a Skins fan. My gut is telling me KC is going to be the guy in DC.

Let KC lead DC

Getcha popcorn ready
