Of course you'd blame Cousins. And Djax was NOT wide open. They even said it on the broadcast. DJax fumbling was the game. Period.

Um... I blamed the coach actually. "Squarely", in fact.

A poster wanted to blame Hopkins for missing a field goal by inches. I pointed out that we should have been moving the ball and scoring touchdowns after the three turnovers, but your selective reading wants to paint a picture like I'm bashing Kirk. Djax WAS wide open, I saw it with my own eyes; regardless of what was announced. However, Kirk was scrambling the opposite direction he was runnung due to pressure, and missed him. I didn't say we lost because of that play, only that that our inability to capitalize on that wide open player in the end zone was more damning then barely missing the fg attempt after. Particularly when Hopkins had done more scoring last night then anyone else on the team.

Cousins led the team to a tying touchdown with 1:15 on the clock. What more do you want from the man? He can't play defense and special teams too.

Why are u Kirk bots getting so defensive this morning? Like Kirk is above any criticism??

Here- how about he scores one single touchdown before the final minute and a half? Oh, that's asking too much of a starting QB??

He was decent, not great. Missed some crucial throws.. but had more pressure in his face then he has had thus far. Guess what the best way to slow down a blitz is? Hit the wrs over the top! He missed Crowder and Djax just barely on would be big plays, he also threw Reed way to high and out on a 3rd down to end the drive he should have had..

BUT he WAS safe with the ball.

While watching the game I was getting more pist at the horse poop calls the refs were making, then at any players on our team tho.

I will say, when we got stuffed on second and short, then ran the exact same play with the same outcome on third and short.... And neither hand off went to the short yardage BEAST DYoung?! Wtf are u smoking coach(as)?!?

He can't win with some "fans." If he plays safe he's being conservative and not trying to win. If he plays to win and throws a pick he's garbage and a backup.

It's awfully rich to expect perfection from Kirk Cousins when no one expected it from RGIII.

I expect him to exhibit that kind of leadership the other 58 minutes. I know he is capable of it.

He doesn't call his own plays. If Hopkins makes that last field goal and Jackson holds onto that football we aren't even having this conversation.

I hate this dink and dunk offense as much as anyone but the line couldn't protect him with TWO extra tackles. He can't take five and seven step drops under those conditions, even if he wanted to audible into them.

Just stopping in to say good game, Dallas got extremely lucky to even win when they
clearly didn't deserve it.

The "team" may not have deserved it, but Sean Lee sure as hell did... He played out of his freaking mind.
Washington 16... Lee 19. ahhhh... fine NOVA families...

All Sean Lee had to do was find LeRibeus and run there.

Hopkins scored more points then anyone, you can hardly blame him for the poor play calling and inability to score TDs off of all those gift wrapped turnovers the D got us.

This is squarely on the coach for play calling and lack of adjusting. Kirk missing a wide open Djax in the end zone was far worse then Hopkins barely missing only his 2nd f2f all year (1 was blocked too)

THAN

T-H-A-N, not then

Great work Columbo!!

My predictive text fumbles a correct word from time to time. Thanks for catching that- and congrats on winning the nobody gives a *sh$t* award, hope to see you climb the ranks of the grammar police

Why would you quote my whole post, when you CLEARLY didn't even read half of it?

There was some of that... but the replay says the dude was all over the field destroying Gruden's game plan. He was... a beast.

Lee did play well but his performance shouldn't be put above the rest of the team
who played poorly and got lucky..when one screws up, they all screw up and do
not deserve any credit IMO that is how a team should be

.. so you won.. see ya at the end of the year?

Of course we will the fact we won when we didn't deserve it is fairly obvious so
I hope the next go around you just end them quickly..then this nightmare can be
over in a hurry
