All the more reason to use it! He has a pass for 70+yds, a run for 70+ yds. All he needs is a reception for 70+ yards. (can he return kicks?)

LOL . . . i think we need to use him at CB or FS . . . he would be better than anything we currently have at it . . . lol

A lot of the "experts" are picking the Browns to win this week.

RG3 plays. First play of the game Josh Morgan comes in motion, RG3 flicks it to him, continues to run and Morgan throws a pass (again) to RG3. RG3 gets killed on the play and is out for the year.

no offense... actually, yes offense. I don't know why you keep posting crap like that. it makes no sense.

I posted this right before the comments blew the thread up. As was said, stats don't show everything, and mainly the stats favor us, but we need to put the effort on the field.

I think the biggest factor in this game is not measurable by stats. It all depends if CLE wants to play on Sunday. Have they packed it in for the year? Or are they loving the spoiler role?

If they come to play it is going to be a hard fought game that the Skins could easily lose.

For me the common opponent # and wins against the possible playoff contenders are important numbers, and we have better percentages in both. The fact that their one win out of 5 games was against a Pitt team that turned it over 8 times, also seems to say that some of their hot streak is less then real. We should win, and I expect that the Redskins will come to play, knowing they have a chance at playoffs and still at the division.

I hear this. I'm actually way more impressed by Cleveland in their losses more so than any of their wins. The Steelers win was kinda a joke. They turned it over 8 times and Pittsburgh still had the ball with 2 minutes left and a chance to win. Raiders/KC doesn't say much either.... But they've also taken the Ravens, Giants, Cowboys, Colts right to the end or given them everything they could handle, and regardless of the opponent, when you win 3 in a row you're doing something right.

If Rg3 plays, I'll be pretty confident. If Cousins plays, I'll think we're right in it, but will be preparing myself for the letdown. We'll see, but this game is going to be way tougher than I thought when the schedule came out and this was an automatic "W". I think the Browns are on the right path and will be in playoff contention within two years.

I don't think it's an automatic win, but I feel we are definitely on the right path, and with either qb will get the win. The motivational quality of either playing for your qb that's hurt, or winning without him, will go a long way. Plus Garcon seems to be tracking the right way.

Just can't afford drops by anyone...

The offense will be fine. The zone blocking of the offensive line in conjunction with the hard running of Alfred Morris will take a lot of pressure off of RG3. Because of RG3's sprained knee, I'm looking for Mike and Kyle to call more rushing plays than pass plays. Pretty soon the Browns are going creep that safety up and that's when RG3 is going to hit their defense with play action and go down field to either Garcon, Morgan, or Moss for a TD.

No increased swelling in the knee. On pace to start Sunday.
