Not that it matters. Our season is done. But this team has a bucket load of potential. Regardless of his bad decisions at times Cousins is the best QB we've had in 20 years. We need to sign him up. Doctson is starting to look like the number 1 we need, Pryor has been a bust so far but we have some weapons to work with Thompson hopefully he comes back. Reed is again , always injured. Davis is productive still although he had a bad drop in the fourth quarter , one that could have iced the game. We cant defend leads, ever, we're better going all out defence like we did against Seattle, all or nothing. Trust our offence to make plays if the defence screws up because our supposed prevent defence is awful!!!

I know every team has injuries but he's done very well considering what he's had to play with. Defence has been poor the past couple of weeks after doing well but I think it's time to put Deangelo Hall out to pasture. He's been badly exposed the past 2 weeks. Having said that, is there anyone better to take his place? Zac Brown's production has dropped off considerably too. I've liked Jay Gruden for the most past but my patience is running out with him recently. His clock management has always been bad but some of his play calls have been baffling. And I don't think he's very good at adapting to a changing situation in a game. And I hate the way he states in every press conference after a loss "hats off to [insert coach's name], he coached a great game". Every week he says it. And what the hell is going on in the last 2 minutes of every half...?????

I would have been going mad. Especially on the first drive when they had 3rd and inches and for the 3rd week in a row, ran the same play and failed yet again. Cousins sacked 6 times wasn’t pretty but to be expected with the makeshift OL.

jack presley wrote: » Yep, these are the games that scare me. The Cowboys haven’t scored more than 9 since Zeke sat down so it’s set up for a Redskins win. But as you say, the Redskins don’t generally comply with ‘supposed to win’ games so we’ll see. Sean Lee and Zach Martin still questionable so they could be missing but if they’re back, it’ll certainly make things more difficult.

And I think that’s what we’ll get Thursday. And in games they should be hammered in, they play well to give us false hope that they might squeak out a win which they invariably don’t (Seattle a few weeks back excluded).

jack presley wrote: » I know they've been riddled with injuries (as have a lot of teams) and Gruden does deserve some slack for what they've done but I don't think he's a good coach and I wouldn't be too upset if they replaced him at the end of the year. His clock management and understanding of game managing is appalling and I think he's too much of a mate to the players. They need someone who's tough on them and who won't stand for any crap.
jack presley wrote: » Injuries haven’t helped alright but most teams have been hit by the injury monster this year. What I meant by the discipline was that I think there should be a line between coaches and players. He seems like he’s their mate as well as their boss. Last season in training camp, one of the defense picked him up jokingly and play acted with him. Could you imagine a Patriot doing that to Bellichick..??? I think he’d make a great coordinator but His management of games, especially the clock is bad and as I said, it wouldn’t be the end of the world if he was replaced.
The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman wrote: » I don't want to start again and that is partially the problem i have with replacing him. We have talent deficiencies on both sides of the ball at the moment but the Oline when fit is one of the best in football. We let a number of running backs slip through our fingers and our inability to run it is a major problem.
