Thank you for your insight, Dr. SFREDSKIN.

If they decreased the width between the uprights by 50%, Cobra Kai would still be perfect.

Phenomenal win. Couldn't be prouder.

Pass rush makes your pass defense incredibly better.

Kerrigan certainly benefits from having Orakpo on the other side, but I have to disagree with the idea that he "cannot cut it". His total tackles are slightly down from last year, but his sack totals will likely be higher. He obviously hasn't had quite the same impact as last season, but that's to be expected when the primary pass rusher is on IR and he has to pick up the slack, basically by himself.

And in spite of the fact that the Redskins were gouged by Ray Rice yesterday, they're still seventh in the league against the run, and giving up less than 100 yards per game. They are by no means, bad against the run.

Don't tell me you didn't think he was toast after that hit? Then he goes in the game and can't continue cause and gets on his knees on the ground. I think it's a miracle that he escaped serious injury.

Our medical team was hard at work yesterday as you can see.

is this real life?

Kerrigan has been rather good without a consistent pass rushing force on the other side.

Or without a good NT.

I'll be honest after I saw the hit on replay I was scared he was done for a long time. Thank God he's OK But I really don't see how he plays Sunday

Grant Paulsen ‏@granthpaulsen

Yes. 3rd downs have been problematic all year. 29th of 32 teams. RT @NC_Skins23 What's that 3rd down conversion percentage? Still horrible?

Ranking 29th out of 32 teams in 3rd down conversion is pathetic. Makes me mad to no end that this offense is so potent, but stalls out on 3rd downs. What really infuriates me is when I see a option pitch play on 3rd and short. Makes me want to drive to DC to choke Kyle.

well, maybe, but we Rank 8th in total 1st downs tied(274) with the Giants, who are only slightly better on 3rd down(16 more made in 10 more attempts).

Cofield needs more respect, he's been playing well.

Awesome news! Even if this winds up being lip service (which I don't think it is) just to make the Browns prepare for Griffin instead of Cousins, it makes me feel giddy knowing the Redskins are still full steam ahead! I really feel like this team is going to the playoffs!

Preach on Mr. Graziano, preach on.

Or ... to paraphrase my favorite WP'er ...Strong Article.

Quoted for super strength.

RgIII has a grade 1 LCL sprain what do you guys think about this does he return or sit

[BigHairedAristocrat]

Call me a cynic, I would only expect Shanahan to publically be optomistic about RGIII playing this week if he were lying. Making the Browns plan to play RGIII when he knows darn well Cousins will start seems like something shanahan would do.
