Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns

[Meks]

and I keep hearing John Candy from rookie of the year now .. "Somenody just threw a frozen rope from the bleachers to home plate!!!!"

Sunday during the end of the game when Cousins came in .... For some reason I kept thing about the line in "The Waterboy" but edited so it made sense.

"Remember when Kirk Cousins came in at halftime and won the Bourbon Bowl!!!" In my heads best redneck country voice....

[SmootSmack]

Practice ended, and RG3 stuck around to practice some more. Think that's probably a good sign

That said, I still think no definite decision will be made until game day once we see the weather conditions

True, any given sunday. but as a fanbase we have to learn how to trust this team again. Not that their are any "cosmic connections" between our faith and their performance. But it is nice going thru the week feeling good about our chances. Any team can lose to any other - happens all the time - such is sports. After 20 years though it feels good to be alittle confident.

i'm thinking this was a mistake:

"Both Griffin and Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said they don’t want to force the Browns to prepare for both Griffin and backup Kirk Cousins on Sunday, and therefore they’re not going to tell the Browns whether Griffin is ready to play."

Unless someone here is suiting up on Sunday who cares what our confidence level is.

Where'd the Steveo quote come from?

edit: nm, I'm blind.

I love how the haters in the comments section keep saying things like "he'll be out of the league by 25!" Must be Cowboys fans!

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Love reading that nonsense. Just shows you how terrified they are to play him.

Just a freak accident. Didn't they say Flacco ran just two times less than RG3? Shit happens. It's not like we run 15 designed runs a game.

[12thMan]

Annnndd....Afred Morris told reporters he expects Robert Griffin to start Sunday.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

And round and round we go...

[53Fan]

If he's medically cleared to play I would be shocked if he didn't.

Regardless of whether RGIII or Cousins plays, we're going to find out alot about this team on Sunday. In years past, this would be a "trap game" where we played down to the level of the opponent. I shouldnt even say years past, becuase we played down to Carolina and lost to them. Good teams beat up the bad teams. Cleaveland and Philly arent horrible, but they arent good either. If we are a good team, we'll beat both of them fairly easily.

At least its not a question of John Beck or Rex Grossman starting.

Not always easy to get a win, but indeed both should be wins for us.
