Based on? Nothing? At all?

Pretty much!

Seriously? This was a scenario that was possible from the end of the game last week, why push the guy unless needed? I would not be surprised to see Cousins play fine and RGIII enjoy some well earned and needed rest for this game. Not saying the Browns are a laydown game, but health of a franchise QB comes ahead of any one individual win, even a playoff game/.

Pretty much. SInce it's been widely reported that the decision wasn't up to any of the coaches or Robert.

I think its a mistake to not let Griffin decide if he can play or not.

Sure if playing tomorrow threatens his career far more than a single game does, yeah, lets hear it doc.

Early indications was that this was not that severe of an injury. While it looked really bad, it turned out a grade 1 LCL.

The master of deception deferred.

I think this is the right call by the staff. Good for them. A lesser coach would put him out there. RGIII is more important than winning one game

There is only preseason and 20 min of real NFL film on the Captain. I hate that RG3 is out, but I am very excited to see what Kirk can do. My gut says our team rallies around Kirk and each other to make a very good game out of it for us.

Norvousness be damned! It's gonna be a great game!

[brandymac27]

Meh, thank me tomorrow and we'll forget your folly. Right Dave?

Hail.

I'm dead serious. This game scares the crap out of me now. I have faith in Kirk b/c I'm a fan of the Redskins, but unfortunately, he hasn't played enough for me to really feel comfortable. I hope he goes out there and lights the Browns up! I guess we'll see tomorrow!

Pretty much!

Yea just obviously my speculation. But I'm entitled to my opinion. And I do think it was just that.

First play - play-action > deep to Garcon.

win.

I was going to make the twenty minuet drive to my friend’s house to watch the game one the dish now I am wondering if it’s really worth it first time in 15 years that I will be missing a skins game. But really the first time in fifteen years that I have a 100% chance that we will not win the game. And what makes this worse is we have an Eagles team that just got humiliated on national television with a ten day rest coming up next

Don't be ridiculous. Of course it will be worth it! We still have a great shot at winning.

[MustangSteve]

Lets lite them up Cousins!!! they wanna bring it, make em pay big time!

[Tarpon75]

Why does everyone assume we'd try to trade him if he plays well tomorrow? Wouldn't that put us in a pretty terrible position the next time RG3 goes down? I mean, it's going to happen eventually. If he plays well, then we have a capable backup. If instead we trade him, we've got nothing again.

You beat me to it,was going to say the same thing.Can't hurt to have a good young back-up around.This situation is apt to play out again more than once.A good reserve QB is worth alot,probably more than a hit or miss draft pick.

[redskins4ever28]

Another thing. Griffin already misses one game his rookie year. I know your all thinking it but I'm going to say it: will he be injury prone like a Vick? I mean heck man this isn't good, Atlanta , and now this.

We win by 10 or more. Book it, The Browns are BAD.

Our front end steps up, takes care of Richardson, and the boneheaded arm of Weeden does the rest.

Keep the faith Dave.

Hail.

You thought there was a greater chance we'd beat the 07 Patriots with JC starting than beating the Browns now with Cousins starting?

Don't underestimate the browns defense they are a very good unit. But when you talk about the 2007 New England game at least we had a better defense and only were giving up about 20 points per game call me crazy but I thought we had a slight chance (25%) to win that game.
