Gameday thread - Redskins Vs. Ravens

[Deadskins]

Don't want to set off a firestorm, but Colt is looking better than Kirk.

[Burgundy&Wha?]

We need to find a way to keep Jackson Jeffcoat. Develop him.

[Deadskins]

Defense bringing it now.

[44diesel]

Another interception for Washington. Even better that it's inside the redzone.

[44diesel]

And now special teams getting in on the turnover party.

The back up is AWLAYS better in DC... No matter which order you stack em! Lmmfao daaayum

[cowboykillerzRGiii]

Nice first start by Cousins! We shouldn't have to have our QB threw it 26 times for 190 yards in the first half but Kirk did. The rushing game was non existent during the first half.

I get it.. Kirk gets the what its and scapegoats... Cuz he isn't Robert.

The run game for the ones has been non existent the last three games tho... Jones by far has been the best rb when on the field

[cowboykillerzRGiii]

Man when Kerrigan is unleashed with this D and Breeland returns, I think we have some SERIOUS swagger on that side of the ball

are you freaking kidding me OS - Cousins was very lucky - McCoy played well - I wanted to see McCoy outshine Cousins and he certainly did

this kid has a tough streak in him - this should prove interesting

No he didn't. At all.

McCoy had the benefits of: Matt Jones, starting field position, and playing against 2nd and 3rd stringers.

Cousins had an average starting field position on the 16 yard line. I believe there were 27 rushing yards in the first half. They were down, he threw a pick, came back and still took the lead. That's not luck. That's improvement.

I guess now that you realize Griffin is done you have to hope that the lesser of two evils is the better option? Pathetic.

Yes, Jones is looking better than Morris too. I know that's not what you mean, but Jones being in has nothing to do with Colt being able to make the moves he did to avoid the rush and complete some of those plays.

[OldSchool]

I am impressed with both Redskin QBs, they both dwarf Griffin in this system. It is unfortunate so much time has been squandered on Griffin who treadfully miscast in a WCO offense. I like both Colt and Kirk and would feel the Skins would moving forward with either. Of the two Cousins looks the best to me but I like Colt also.

Kirk led us to 14 first downs in the first half on the road against the Ravens in the dress rehearsal game after a bad start and without a running game.

14 first downs.

14 first downs.

How many did Colt lead us to?

[Deadskins]

Who is the starter next week? If RGIII can't go, and we want to rest our "starter," does Colt play the whole game?

[StorminMormon86]

Remember how good Colt looked against the Rams last year?

[riggofan]

Yeah come on fellas. We're not seriously comparing the guy who played lights out in the preseason 4th quarter with the guy who was playing in the 1st quarter are we? Does the name Colt Brennan ring any bells?

McCoy and Cousins probably aren't that far apart right now IMO. The big difference seems to be that Cousins has the stronger arm from what I've heard. We need the team to pick one of these guys though and stick with him. Enough with the BS.

[Deadskins]

Colt didn't play lights out in the 3rd quarter? And how is this any different than all the comparisons between RGIII and Kirk and Colt from past preseason games. Of course we are making those comparisons. It's what Redskins fans do.

That doesn't make it less ignorant.

And the comparisons of RGIII v Cousins the past few games have not been that Cousins put up better numbers. That's just a straw man. The issue people had is that one of these guys looked comfortable playing in the pocket and running this offense and one of them looked like a complete train wreck.

Bingo.

Look it up.

I did, and Kirk only led us to 12 first downs. And one of those was on a roughing call, after an incomplete pass. I'm not saying Kirk didn't play well. He bounced back from the INT, which was good, and had a nice two minute drill at the end of the half. But his TD pass was a deflection off a ball that should have been intercepted, and he threw behind the receiver several other times. I just felt like Colt had a more impressive game, albeit against the 2nd team players, and with Jones at RB. He was much more elusive in the pocket, and seemed to have better field awareness.
