We'll probably lose just to add insult to injury.

I've got a $100 riding on the Dallas game so I'd be happy with that. Just to make things clear its an old running bet from yr to yr.

I'm not fan of the media but this really is a big deal. It's unprecedented for a team to deactivate a starting player, no less their franchise QB, for the sake of 'protecting him'. It's nothing less than a spectacle. This season can't end soon enough. This may be the first Redskin game since the Pettibon year that I may voluntarily miss a game. Truth be told I was planning to go to Atlanta for the game but now I am SO glad I didn't go.

Re: Kirk Cousins Expected To Start Sunday
 

After listening to the presser today, I'm okay with shutting him down. We're not playing for anything right now (Pride left 3 weeks ago...). An injury to RGIII would be exponentially worse than missing game time reps in these last 3 weeks. I think if Shanny were doing a "F*ck you!" to the Redskins (Snyder) then I think he would actually leave RGIII out there and not give a crap if he got hurt. If the organization truly believes that RGIII is the future then why chance it all on three meaningless games? This season is totally gone for RGIII. I kind of wonder though why not sit him against the Chiefs, but whatever. I highly doubt this "benching" is going to have any long term psychological consequences for him.

You're a braver man than I. I lost on the first Dallas game already.

Re: Kirk Cousins Expected To Start Sunday
 

We are a laughing stock right now. Embarrassing especially for a once great organization.

Sadly I was talking to a friend earlier today and he thinks that this doesn't even crack the top 5 controversies of the Snyder era.

[quote=skinsfaninok;1048022]I hope kirk comes in and we win 3 straight because I want a 2nd round pick for him lol but I don't see us winning more than a game if even one. O well just another sad year for skins nation[/quote]

Agreed. I mean he's still playing behind the same bad offensive line, and we still have the same defense and special teams...

Probably 0-3, but they may squeak out a win against Dallas since their D is just as bad...or worse.

Re: Kirk Cousins Expected To Start Sunday
 

We may be the only franchise doomed to an eternity of qb controversy. I'll never understand it.

I'm not saying others haven't had their share, but even in Doug Williams SB year we had to overcome it. Sonny and Billy, Heath and Gus. It's just crazy enough to make me crazy!

Was heath and Gus really significant though? Lmao although I will say Gus was pretty good at times

Re: Kirk Cousins Expected To Start Sunday
 

That's fine if he wants to sell this as 100% about keeping RGIII healthy, but I better not see one triple option, or old school Nebraska style college option next year. Not one play.

The read option out of the pistol where he is moving more vertically and can get down faster should still be limited to less than 5 times a game in short yardage situations.

Re: Kirk Cousins Expected To Start Sunday
 

Finally Goat, some people are warming up to the fact that SHANAHAN FUCKING SUCKS. Even without this situation, one playoff win in 14 years, and a horrid win %age his past 8 seasons, it really makes this inevitable firing (for junior as well) the best thing that could have happened to us. I think if we lay a complete stinker this week, he will be gone on Monday. If there is a little bit of effort, he might close out the season.

GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE, SHANAFAIL.
