Cowboys @ Redskins

[DarthMonk]

Keep hope alive.

Gonna be very tough. Can hardly afford any bad fortune in this game.

Thank goodness we are deep at corner. Norman back could help a lot.

We cannot afford to let Zeke take over.

I'd go man-to-man and gang up on the run on 1st and 2nd down always remembering to stay home on the bootleg.

Who covers Witten?

[El Mexican]

^^^^^^Plus pound pound pound the rock. We have to eat that clock and avoid a shootout.

[SkinsJock]

we have Kirk Cousins - he'll prove all the doubters are wrong - 10-7 Redskins after 1 qtr

Troy sounds V surprised

[SkinsJock]

13-7 Redskins into the second qtr

The Washington Field Goals

[ferryrich]

We'll be scrambling to field a team before long

[DarthMonk]

Well at least I don’t see the usual litany of officiating complaints.

We are still in this as the third-quarter is about to end.

Biggest play so far is clearly the blocked field goal - likely a mistake we could not afford.

[EaglelandSkin]

I don't get the play call on that last series of downs. They don't look like they're playing to win.

[hanburgerheel]

Jay Gruden has peaked. Whatever he could do, he's done it.

[EaglelandSkin]

I think that's it. Terrible game.

[EaglelandSkin]

Well, I didn't expect that. Let's get a touchdown now.

[EaglelandSkin]

That miss might kill them.

[absinthe1023]

Each loss hopefully gets us one game closer to the end of the Arena-Boy era.

[absinthe1023]

Cousins can also pack his bags to SF or Cleveland or wherever else back-breaking picks are needed.

[hanburgerheel]

Cousins' passes were tipped, but... he's not the QB for any kind of future.

The best thing the Redskins had has gone to the Rams.

[hitmandm]

It is all good that you guys are finally seeing what I have been saying all these years about Captain Pick and Stupid Fat Gruden.

[aswas71788]

Well, Cousins didn't disappoint. He got in his game ending interception.

[SkinsJock]

The bad news is that we did not sign Cousins to a LTD but with this FO they could make up for that by giving him a LTD and making it easy for them not to pay anyone else .... they will not be able to afford them

[riggofan]

Well, Cousins didn't disappoint. He got in his game ending interception.

I know it man. WE WERE SO CLOSE TO WINNING THAT GAME OTHERWISE. Damn you, Kirk.

[SkinsJock]

anyone that thinks that the problems here have any chance of being resolved with these 2 bozos in charge is just kidding themselves

I'm not suggesting we will be better off with a new HC, a new QB or, if we did not have a number of injuries to key players - the thing is that the guys in charge of addressing the issues we confront and which most all good franchises have to address are the most at fault here - Dan and Bruce are not the only reason we're not very good but they are the ones that think they know who is best suited to play and coach here

HOW is anything going to get better with these 2 idiots refusing to step aside & let the franchise be managed like other successful franchises

[SkinsJock]

earlier this season, most had us at 8 or 9 wins - that seems a little unrealistic at this time

[grampi]

I'm about ready to give up on NFL football. My team hasn't won a Super Bowl in 25 years, and it doesn't look like they're going to win another anytime in the near future. I'm sick of the same teams being good every year. The matchups just aren't there anymore which makes for a lot of boring games. I'm sick of the protesting. Politics has no place in sports. And I'm sick of the money grubbing...all the league cares about is money...

The NFL is a business - it's only the fans that care about wins and losses

the better teams are more successful because they understand the importance of having depth and what it takes to continue to be good

there are some players that feel they have to take advantage of their situation to bring attention to social injustice - I'm not sure that I would do the same were I in their position but they should be allowed to express their views in the manner they think is best

I don't have a problem with players protesting. I have a problem with them using the NFL as a platform for their protests. When they are wearing their uniform and standing on a football field, they representing the NFL. They are paid to play, therefore they are an employee of the NFL. If I protest at work, I would get fired. Why should players be allowed to protest at work? They should do their protesting on their own time, off the field, and not in uniform...

I don't think any of the owners is stupid enough to fire any player over this, but it would be fun to see the ramifications if one did do that

what do you think would be a more effective way for those players that want to bring attention to social injustice?
