Daezuel I'm glad you can make jokes man, was worried about you for a bit. You guys will bounce back. Don't be so hard on Cousins though man, I had friends of mine calling so excited that he made it through a whole game without a turnover. I pointed out that he had a sure pick that the Rams dropped, but they didn't want to hear about that. Cousins was very efficient otherwise today.

Not too hard when you're running all over us. Never put you in a position to have to throw it. You honestly feel comfortable with Cousins back there against a team with a good defense?

Terrrrrrrrrible protection. Good fucking god. Only a matter of time before Tannehill gets hurt.

I thought you guys had a good defense to be honest. I know you and Miami had good pass rushes (although Miami was really bad against the run last year and we ran it all over them too). I don't feel comfortable with Cousins if he has to make the plays to win the game. Safe, shorter throws for him and lean on the running game and the D is the blueprint for success. Cousins can throw it, but as you saw today he still has those mistakes that happen. I feel like a lot of my friends have the blinders on about him though, b/c it's clear it wasn't him that won the game today.

Don't get me wrong, 23-27 for 203 and a TD is efficient, but he didn't have to make that many tough throws. The one big one to Reed down the middle on our final scoring drive was about his best one. We have no deep threat though with Jackson out, so we're going to have to grind games out running the ball and with the D. I'm just optimistic that I could be looking at a 7-9 team or 8-8 team rather than a 4-12 team right now.

Read my longer reply, that was more talking about how bad the Eagles/Giants/Cowboys (especially if Romo is out long term) are looking.

So I take it 80 million penalties aren't just the games I'm watching? This shit makes the games boring AF

Our defense is average, it was last year, it is again. We will look amazing some days and like shit on others. Our MLB is honestly pathetic and I think this is most of the problem. Thing is a good team will take away the run and Cousins will be forced to throw it to win. When that's happened in the past he's seemed to fold, but what do I know?

I'll just say the Redskins planned VERY well for the Rams imo. They can see on the tape that our MLB doesn't get off blocks or make positive plays. They went right at that guy and he folded.

Offensively the Rams did the defense no favors either. Redskins defense looked good, I'll give you that.

*edit - and I guess finally I can say the Rams won the second half, moral victories is all thats left the once mighty Rams.

oakland definitely no longer a laughing stock team. but certainly not a contender

so welcome to the worst possible spot to be in. drafting 10th, 11th, 15th instead of 1st, 2nd, 3rd.

Fucking idiot lol. I thought he got flagged for jawing but the comment still stands for the retarded kicker grabbing him.

What do we know you mean, I pretty much just agreed with everything you said in the reply you quoted. I don't trust Cousins to have to be the guy to make the throws to win the game. He should have been picked off again today. Until he proves otherwise he's a game manager. His one strength is he gets rid of the ball quick and doesn't take as many sacks as RG3 or Colt McCoy were last year.

Yeah my win in fantasy is starting to melt with Romo out. I doubt Witten will get much yardage either to shore up my point spread.

My backup QB is Alex fucking Smith though so I need to pick someone up from waivers ASAP.
