Great Game - Loved the D and the offensive Play Calling!

Team playing great. Dominant win. Love to see them playing hard nose football.

F the draft, lets win out boys!

Seems like someone reminded our guys they were pros.... This is great to me. Seattle and Miami r winning/won so we still keep a high draft pick without the expense of our integrity. nothing feels as good as a win no matter the circumstances for those fo you who would have us lose out.

We have one monkey off our backs. We swept the Giants!!!!

Finally. I hate the G-strings almost as much as the Cowpies... almost.

I suspect this has been a bloody Sunday in the betting world.

I am a little disappointed in our run game today. It was good enough but we slacked a little.

No kidding. Could have picked up some serious ground in Hognostications today too, I suspect.

Fixed for emphasis and seconding.

I lost $300.00 back in the 80s against a giants fan/sorta friend... Ever since then I do not bet. I will never forget Phil Simms and his 4th and a million and he gets it

Anyone know where we draft after this win?

We beat the G-strings pretty regularly back then. I worked with a G-strings fan for 8 years during the late '90s/early '00s. We had a regular bet on each game and the season record. I really developed a healthy dislike for that team over that period.

That's why I hate the bears. Good game today and used a ton of guys.

My head said lose; my heart said win. I'll go with my heart every time.

Yeah I know, I was trying to say this in another thread. Our team really isn't all that bad even though we keep losing. Yes we still suck but we could win out or lose out. I want RG3, but I fear we wont get him. I still want to win first though. If we can, then maybe we really don't need as much as people think.

You all do realize that had we won both of the Cowboy Games (and we were inches from winning both ans should have won both), we would be the Division leader right now, with 2 games left?

Based on our performance against the Pats, and other tough losses this year .... I think too many fans and analysts underestimate the talent on this team.

Exactly right Ray!!! This has been the case though for a few years not just this one. I think we really are going in the right direction even though I am not a fan of rat face and Has. Has doesn't have much to offer when making second half adjustments and Mike doesn't want to adapt to his talent. Imagine if they did...

The other thing I will say was the Beck experiment. I understand it. I would have benched Rex too but I wouldn't have taken his job away unless he had another repeat performance. I think it takes 2 or 3 bad games in a row before you take away your QB and put him on the bench. We might have won a game or two if that didn't happen.

I could never root for a loss, but I must say, if we play our way out of a Franchise QB for the next 10 years, we simply are prolonging our own misery.

That makes this all the more frustrating.

Maybe or then there is the thought we could fill other holes and get QB some other way; even if its through FA or trade. It doesn't have to happen next year. Lets build a young team.

True. I like all of the Top 5 QBs coming out so, maybe a guy like Landry Jones can be our guy if we're picking in the Top 10.

It looks like the Redskins have a lot more depth and young talent at the offensive line then most people thought. We might never have known this without injury and stupidity. The best thing that happened to New England was when Drew Bledsoe got hurt and some guy named Tom Brady came off of the bench.

This is why I've been particularly critical of the Coaching staff, and especially concerning Kyle. The game that got Rex benched was a bad, bad game ... and the quick hook was ill conceived in retrospect ... but it was to a large measure due to the inaccurate analysis of Beck's skill and ability, by guess who? Kyle really thought they had something there with Beck. Unfortunately, that was the second time he was wrong about the same guy!!!

Here's what we know ... when Rexy is on his game, the Redskins are competitive and can play with anyone. But he's just too inconsistent to be relied upon, and when he get's lots of pressure, he throws it up for grabs. But I think he has value as a backup to whomever we bring in from the draft, and we should keep him. I like his attitude, and cockiness as a QB.

With that said, I think the Reskins should go ALL OUT to get Luck. He will wind up being worth to this team whatever we have to pay Indy to get him. Two 1's and two 2's ..... three 1's and a 2 ... whatever it takes. Luck is a guy you can build a team around, and we already have several young pieces, and a couple of solid vets for him to work with.

I think Indy could be convinced to take one of the other guys as a project QB, and capitalize on the added picks to fix their other needs. We could get our franchise QB this team has needed for over a decade, and he could start next year with a solid backup in Rex.

I'm thinking we are going to have to trade up to get one of the top 3 prospects anyway .... and I don't think this is the time to gamble on anyone outside those top 3. So if you have to deal, take the shot, and get the best one.
