OT: New Owner! New Name? New Season? New Everything!!! — Oh, and New Thread. All things Washington NFL FootBall (beat it, Dan-Bag!!)

[g00n]

He held the ball forever. When he was t throwing INTs he was taking hits and fumbling.

That's mostly how I remember it. He threw bad INTs at the worst times early on, and then to try and stop the bleeding he seemed to hold the ball too long or check down too easily because he was afraid of throwing even more INTs.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Did anyone even get a block there?

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

7 punts?

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Are people really forgetting Cousins throwing 4 INTs a game? To the point that bars were having specials - giving free shots on his INTs.

Sure sacks weren’t his issue, but he had T. Williams and a better OL.

Cousins started 3 games his 2nd year. He threw 7 INTs.

 

[RedRocking]

We’ve seen Howell play well for good stretches. But at this point he’s basically punch drunk, with happy feet.

Really hard to make any long term eval under these conditions.

 

[Capsman]

Hey Rivera, you doofus. This is the o-line you created. You’ve had 4 years and we have this o-line and this 2 person linebacker core. A

Compare their QBRs.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Offense has 46 yards and 2, TWO, first downs and the team is only down 14-0. It would appear the defense is not the problem at this point in the game.

Now they've made it impossible to really assess the LBs, but in this defense it's more like two half-men combining to equal a single LB.

LB in particular was supposed to be the Main Thing that would be done well

They've allowed 14 points to the worst offense in the league running a backup O Line and a backup QB.

Defense was supposed to be carrying the team, not offense. That was everyone's assessment and expectation.

He is playing to survive. If that becomes a habit, it will halt development.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Compare their QBRs.

What’s the point? One is the undisputed starter and the other was a backup to diva 2nd overall pick who was feuding with the offensive staff. It’s not comparable.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Also does anyone remember all that talk from Ron about how they were going to focus on the run, and really become a run heavy team? What the f*** happened? What does he even do around here besides blow draft picks and roster construction?

Cousins couldn't surpass RG3, because as bad as RG3 was, Cousins was even worse.

My point is that it can take QBs a long time to develop.

 

[Beef Invictus]

So JDR should be fired today. And Ron should have GM taken from him and given to a real GM. Don't need to fire him, but replace the only thing he supposedly does.

 

[Capsman]

Offense has 46 yards and 2, TWO, first downs and the team is only down 14-0. It would appear the defense is not the problem at this point in the game.

Both the Giants’ TD drives were long drives. They also missed a chip shot FG. And they’ve moved the ball. Basically we’ve been bend and partially break against the worst offense in the league and a backup o-line and QB.

 

[Beef Invictus]

My 6 year old daughter has been watching and has declared she's a Blue Giant fan now. Things are going great!

 

[Langway]

Must suck being a back-up OL and still not have your named called.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

It really is you. Cousins didn't seem like he could even be a backup for the first few years of his career.

He looked pretty good in that CLE win his rookie year. Do you remember that? I do. It was after that game where Griffin started getting pissed with Shanahan because Shanahan didn’t use the zone/read offense with Cousins.

Ah yes. If you look at a single game against THE CLEVELAND BROWNS and ignore everything else, he was fine.

Did you know that every player would seem good if you ignore all their bad games and mistakes?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Love that shot of half of O line standing and watching as everyone who beat them sacks the QB.

Insane, fully insane, it takes this long for a screen. I assume I didn't miss one while making lunch

 

[John Price]

Just like it was drawn up.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Tress Way is once more the MVP

 

[Cush]

and there's that undeserved luck

 

[Beef Invictus]

You're surprised EB didn't run it? Really?
