Expectations for this season

[SkinsJock]

I do not think that we've seen Griffin play as well as he's capable of recently ...

I'm hopeful that things are better - there are just too many things that need to improve from the mess that we've seen here the last 2 seasons

and

DS needs to stop meddling

not putting a win total for one reason we aren't getting to the playoffs .... one game at a time like to see us resemble an nfl team cut down on beating ourselves ... we cant afford to be giving the ball away at all much less multiple times in a game ..... keeping the ball moving .... 3 and outs are killing this offense along with penalties. got to get our D off the field on 3rd downs ..... and lets not forget our not so special S.T. they are just plain awful.
cousins is the qb he will be fine and i hope he can improve on his decision making which i think he will having a few week with the staters should help instead of start one week sit start sit start ..... so are we better yes we are how much better ..... thats why they play the game we will see soon enough.
so here it is i want to see entire team improvements not even saying wins or loses we are coming off a 4 - 12 record so ill start there.

I'm as anxious as anyone to see evidence of improvement but until DS stops meddling and lets Scot manage things here with his choice of HC and QB we are not going to see much - the O line needs time to add some players and for those players to become a cohesive unit - maybe as early as next season but I doubt it - The defense needs to do a better job because the offense will not be able to score a lot of points

I'm looking forward to seeing some action on the field and clear evidence of what we've got and what we're lacking

I'm trying, but it's just so much damned fun!

Thanks for clarifying, that is good information. I knew that a weak d-line could make life hard on the secondary, but wasn't sure if it worked the other way too.

It can, in that if the QB can make the D pay by completing passes even with the rushers being in his face, then he can slow down the pass rush considerably.

While this is true, for the most part, the QB's who can do this are capable of shredding ANY defense, given adequate prep. They tend to be top players, playing within an excellent offense

That seems like it was from forever ago. Sad.

AGREE !!!! lets move on shall we ???

It's almost time to watch Kirk Cousins take advantage of the situation here & show the NFL that he should be paid good QB money next season


I think that beating the Giants in both games would be a huge deal ... but then again - I cannot stand that bunch of woosies
