RG3 is back

yeah it seemed like the points we left on the table were because of mccoy though.

we should have been up 14+ at halftime. easily. defense was playing lights out first half and offense couldn't do anything.

i suppose i may just be weighing the first half too heavy, and the second too light.

I don't get the opinions that Colt looked anything other than decent enough.

Maybe I'm just not giving him enough credit for the 2nd half?

I saw a QB that we were lucky didn't screw the game up for us...

I thought he made some very good plays and some poor plays. Where he hurt us the most was with a few mental errors, one of which could have cost us the game in regulation time.

All things considered, he really competed and he made some fine plays that helped us win the game. I felt that he did a good job of not missing on the deep throws to DJAX, The touch pass to Reed on the sideline was excellent, and the TD run on the QB draw was outstanding. Most importantly, he got the job done in OT.

I wish they would hold off on RG3 until after the bye. Seems like devaju again.

He needs game time, gotta find out if he can play. Shake off all the rust.

I don't understand your last point at all. Makes absolutely zero sense to me

You got to go with McCoy on Sunday (no question) RGIII is just going to be set up to fail if he starts IMO

''From a physical standpoint he looks good,'' Gruden said. ''Now it's a matter of mental and getting back into the football part of it. If he looks good in that regard, then there's a chance he could play. And, if not, if he needs another week, he'll take another week.''

two things really concern me:

1. coach gruden clearly states that RG3 needs to be (1) healthy and (2) has to prove he is mentally ready. The question isnt just whether RG3 is healthy or medically cleared. How could RG3 have already proven he is mentally ready by running the scout team last week and one walk through yesterday?

an RG3 offense is a lot different than a cousins or colt offense. The entire offense could benefit from re-adjusting to a RG3 style offense during the bye.

if we run that basic HS offense we ran in week 1, i think a lot of fans and d jax are not going to be happy.

2. a leak from multiple redskin sources? WTF? clearly gruden wanted to keep things under wraps but now, after 1 walk through, we have leaks in our house? i really hope gruden and allen find the leak and take care of it.



this is all water under the bridge if RG3 shows he can run gruden's offense and we win.

if he doesnt, i foresee a typical redskins off-field drama playing out in the media for weeks. .. and a lot more "leaks".

NFL.com front page is saying he is starting, so......

Delay of games.
Calling the wrong play in the huddle.
Blowing timeouts to avoid even more delay of games.
Having multiple defensive stops/turnovers to start the game against an that offense, that coming into the game was really hot, but not capitalizing on them. Not capitalizing on this normally leads to losing the game later on...

It's not an opinion centered around stats, it's one centered around the eye test. McCoy just didn't look ready/prepared to me for quite a bit.

We stayed in the game because our defense played great from start to finish. And McCoy eventually settled in. But in the totality of the game, I personally am surprised Dallas wasn't able to get over the hump and eventually win.

When you listen to redskins fans and media you'd think McCoy had a lights out performance. That's just not what I saw at all.

Even more so, people are using the performance to justify not starting Griffin even if he is 'ready.' Which to me is absurd. To take that one game and walk away saying McCoy gives us a better chance to win than Griffin seems absurd to me. Yet, there are a lot of people doing it...

Glad RGIII is back! I wonder if McCoy's stock went up after these last two games?

Personally, I'd probably have started McCoy. If he was able to lead the 'skins to another win, then you're heading into a bye week at 4-5 with Tampa Bay on the other end of the bye. Perfect time for RGIII to make his return.

Playing devil's advocate, what if RGIII has a bad game against Minnesota and he's left to "think about it" throughout the bye? That might be worse on his confidence than to simply let him sit or at least let him serve as backup to McCoy for the Minnesota game.

Seeing as how these quarterbacks seem to do better coming off of the bench after the flow of the game has started, I'd almost start McCoy and maybe mix RGIII into the game plan depending upon how the game is going.
