Washington
–It certainly wasn’t a pretty day from Kirk Cousins (-4.7). His accuracy down the field was night and day from the quarterback we’ve seen the past few weeks. On passes targeted between 10-20 yards down the field, Cousins was only 2-of-10 passing for 36 yards. Green Bay forced check down after check down from Cousins and continually made the play. 17 of Cousins 29 completions came between the numbers and within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage.
Gotta remember, Green Bay pass defense has been great all year. Capers secondary looks have confused good QB and their pass rush is decent. You counter that pounding the ball...

i think we were out coached on both sides of the ball and our guys werent prepared for what they saw. coaches are pretty green as well.
i really look forward to hearing and reading cooley/bullock and cos. film breakdown bc from the TV view you just couldnt see what was happening down field but it looked like kirk just couldnt find any open receivers sans Reed in the middle who kirk seemed to force the ball to at times.
Reed - 9 catches 17 targets
garcon - 5 catches 8 targets
jackson - 2 catches 5 targets
my opinion - we got out coached and tried to force our offensive approach instead of game planning to attack the GB weaknesses.
I think we need to chill on the contract situation. Yes he's going to be looking for a nice deal, but to be paid like a top 5 guy you need a more complete resume. The team does have some leverage to bring to the negotiating table. So let's not assume he's going to take us to the cleaners. I think both sides want it to work and will find some common ground.

He deserves top 15 money rite now due to the limited resume. Though i do believe he is a top 10 guy rite now.
Edit: Also if he gets a better offer somewhere and we do not tag him he should take it. I would hold nothing against him. Its a career for him. We would all leave our current employer rite now for a similar job and a substantial pay raise. Just because nobody roots for me at work doesnt really matter. Lol

Oh he would be the hottest thing since the Macarena!
It's understandable that after our laundry list of qb's who did not pan out over the last 20 years that folks are hesitant but my goodness what else can he show us in this short time?

I think it depends on the agent. If he's got a flashy guy like Drew Rosenhaus it might be more difficult than somebody who's more willing to work with the team.

Was not his sharpest of games by any means. But it was good enough for the win had the defense not played like a sieve. Couple that with a terrible attempt by Djax at getting the damn ball in the endzone and a missed extra point - and you have a loss. Those 5 points early would have changed some things....The bottom line is that with half of a better effort by our defense and run game Cousins played well enough for us to beat a very experienced playoff team.I agree with some of this. However; good enough to win a regular season game is different from a playoff game. Lets not forget that delay of game also played a role in not scoring on the goaline. And Alf was churning out 4.5 yards a clip. Its not all on Kirk but a bad game is a bad game. Shrugs.

Was anyone listening to the sports fix this afternoon? They were asking people if they thought Griffin was going to come back to haunt the Skins.. It was amazing how racial the discussion turned. Not that I want to go down this road, but I just can't believe in 2016 so many people are so divided about 2 QB's because of race.
