ES: First Cousins, Once RG3 is Removed

[Boss_Hogg]

Some people on this board along with regional and national blowhards have been complaining about Griff not being a pure pocket passer.

Well, this Sunday against the Browns is a good place to start.

That is a great point. And you know if he can't complete the game you put in Cousins. It is all good IMO!

I for one would LOVE to see RG3 take the field Sunday, and show us all what true physical Resilience is.... but in doing so I hope he is ready to play at 100%. If not I would give the nod to Cousins to start. Don't get me wrong, I want to see RG3 play over Cousins, but I also think RG3 will do everything in his power to be on that field, even if he is suffering to do it. I remember the game when his headset went out, and he used a quote from the movie the replacements. " All the great ones want the ball in their hands when the games on the line" It's what kept him in the game hobbling around last week after taking that hit. My biggest concern is that our coach left him in to do it, and it could have made a bad situation much worse. I hope the coaches will not be blinded by thinking we can not win without RG3 against the Browns. Cousins can beat this team. I will be so dissapointed if we lose him for the last two divisional games because we thought Cousins couldn't handle the Browns, and RG3's knee gets worse. The Browns wins on KC, and Oak were gimme's, and the Steelers loss we know was due to BR being out. The Steelers turned the ball over 8 times that game and the Browns still only squeeked by 14-20.

I knew we could do this with Cousins! Hope RG3 is ready to rock phillies world next week! Go Redskins.......and next week..go Saints!

while i always cheer against the cowboys, saints-cowboys carry very little implications for us.

Let's say we beat the Eagles, Dallas losses to Saints.

The following weak, Dallas beats us.

Giants lose one of their next two games.

How is the Dallas loss to the Saints not important?

dallas wins the division in that scenario. all three teams would be 9-7 at that point. Dallas would win the division because, head to head, we would be 1 win 1 loss, we would both be 4-2 within the division and unfortunately the next tie breaker is record against common opponents and even if they lose to the Saints, they'd be 8-4 against the AFC North and NFC South and we would be 7-5.

I guess I am taking things one game at a time. I understand there are certain scenarios that would put us in a losing position, but losing to Dallas in the final game of the season would ruin us in any scenario at this point, so that is a key game no matter what happens. It is a must win, just like this week is. I just want as much space between us as possible...Well, that and I enjoy watching the cowboys lose.
