I'm not an expert on American Football, but usually most games I watch the refs protect the QB a lot. It seems you can't touch them at all. So my question is: why are the refs allowing Denver defenders to destroy redskins quarterbacks?

Is this crew that is more 'bloody thirst' or what?

:nod: In BB's defense, he did bench two players today in the first quarter because of their celebrations last week. As soon as he put them back in, they were key contributors and the reason why we won today.


Its no secret I dislike him, but he is an incredible coach

And there is no one in their right mind who would just run it out or dive with 60 yards of green grass in front of them.


I've seen players do it before.

And IDK, the main thing was how he was staring down Cousins as he was running in, because he KNEW that Cousins had no chance of catching him, but Cousins had to try anyway. Just run straight, keep pointing at the crowd, keep high-stepping, but really, you're going to basically talk trash to the guy you picked off...the guy who's not even their starter?

I personally wouldn't have had a problem if a Redskins player straight up destroyed him as he was celebrating in the endzone, ala TO celebrating on the Dallas star.

If Chris Collinsworth wasn't so busy dreaming about the Packers running a train on him after the game, he could be a decent announcer.

We all know why they are called the Packers, but c'mon Chris, you are taking this to a new level.

Missing all but one of his weapons, throwing to rookies and scrubs, Rodgers is over 80%, 9.8 YPA, 2 TD, 0 INT.

Brady should be taking notes.

Tom Brady's projected end of year numbers:

18 TDs, 12 INTs, 3648 yards (228.0 YPG), 55.7% CMP, 74.9 passer rating


Is that Tom Brady or Alex Smith?

RG3 had one of the worst games I've ever seen from a Redskins QB. Yes, it was that bad. And this is coming from a Skins fan who has seen the likes of John Beck and Tim Hasselbeck play. Missed open receivers left and right, held the ball too long, no pocket awareness, just absolutely awful. I think with even an average QB yesterday we would have had a shot late. The score looked bad but it was mostly just us unraveling in the 4th quarter, through 3 quarters it was a tie game.

I'm concerned RG3 may be the next Vince Young. He is just terrible as a pocket passer. The offense doesn't work at all when he's not a run threat. But at this point we have to give him at least through this year and next year to figure it out.

Sucks because the NFC East is so bad this year it's right there for the taking. LOL at Dallas for choking away another game, although it wasn't on Romo. WTF is up with Dez Bryant? Dude has all the talent in the world but is a complete cancer. Grow the F up. Looks like the league has caught up to Chip Kelly too, though nobody can win with bad QB-ing and Matt Barkley is pretty terrible, and maybe the demise of the New York Giants has been greatly exaggerated.
Eric Maynor is the worst basketball player I've ever seen.

It wasn't directly on Romo, but indirectly, it was. Romo's reputation for fcking up key situations was front and center in his and Garrett's minds. Romo is self aware and he knows himself how badly he's choked in the past, and it showed in his tentative overly cautious play late. But beyond that, it showed in Garrett's faith or more accurately his lack of faith in Romo. Timid playcalling in the clutch from Garrett.

Also look at Romo's production for the whole game. Pathetic. How do you get 4 turnovers and still lose? That's how.

I'd have a tendency to blame the side of the ball that gave up 329 yards receiving to one player and let a team drive the length of the field in less than a minute with no timeouts but I guess you can blame everything on Romo if you want.
