Brian 37  what game were you watching?

Holly crap I got immages of Theisman on that play. That backup did a great job. But as incouraged as I am the Giants are still one up on us and we have to win the rest of our games and hope the Giants drop a game or two.

If we would just get the rest of our cylinders firing, next year RG and the Skins could dominate. We still need an offensive line. We need better secondary and corner play on defense, specially two minute. We just need a ballanced game on all sides of the ball. RG is our best hope yet but if he does not stay healthy it does us no good.

I am not saying it is impossible, but it is a young team and on average at this point in the season with our record, and I dissagree about the Giants v Atlanta. I put higher odds on us doing 9-7 or 8-8, than 10-6, and not making the playoffs. There are too many factors at this point. Not saying it cant happen and I sure do want them to defy the odds, but I am a bit skeptical.

This might be the one time Brian is happy to see me say "see I told you so" The Skins hold up without RG3 and the Giants apparently decided not to play; the playoff scenario for the Skins is looking really good. Plus Chicago dropping a game is just icing on the cake. 

I am liking Cousins.
Beyond,
You were so right about Atlanta beating the Giants. But who would have thought Manning could be completely shut out.
If only Dallas had lost.

They haven't aired enough Jets games in my area, but the few games I have seen I wonder why Tebow wasn't played more. Can you tell me about that? Do they hate him?

Yeah, I didn't predict a shut out. I thought the Giants would score at least 20. I didn't watch that game so I don't know what went wrong. I did watch the Skins and was pretty impressed by Cousins but I also think that the Browns defense made him look better than he probably is. The Browns seemed obsessed with shutting down the running game, which they did pretty successfully holding Morris to 3.2 yards per carry which is substantially lower than his average for the season (4.7). However, it was really obvious that the Browns fell for the play action pretty hard which gave Cousins some great opportunities in the passing game, and for his own runs. I think against a better defense that isn't so easily duped Cousins would struggle. 

I think the coaching staff doesn't trust his throwing ability and while Sanchez's numbers look terrible when you watch the play a lot of it isn't completely his fault. The offensive line has been terrible this year, plagued by injuries early in the season and it simply hasn't been holding up. It is pretty obvious that Sanchez doesn't trust the line because of the number of times the pocket has caved in around him so he has been hurrying his throws, sometimes even if he doesn't need to. Hurrying throws = interceptions. Plus, there has been a ridiculous number of drops from the receivers when Sanchez does make a good throw. I don't know how many times I have screamed "How the hell did you not catch that!" at the tv this year. 

So I think that the Rex keeps Sanchez in because he recognizes that Tebow is going to have the same problems. It takes a pretty mature and talented QB to be able to make magic happen when the pocket routinely collapses. Tebow is neither and I think Rex realizes that so he sticks with Sanchez. 

Beyond,
The couple of Jets games I have watched there were times the jets were very deep in the red zone, just a few yards. I went ok time for tebow, but no they keep sanchez in and didn't make it. That just didn't make sense. Why would they even keep him out then?

I know what you mean about swapping teams. Early in the season I was saying forget the redskins even though I have been since I was a child. My mothers family all were fans. So I swapped to the Packers. I love watching their home games when it's snowing. Then along comes RG3. I guess I should have swapped years ago. Looks like I was holding them back.

Monday night football's jets loss to the titans explained this tebow question to me. They put him in 3 times. Twice for one play and once for 3 and out. The former he made a difference because the titan defense couldn't adjust quick enough, but on the latter they got his number and crushed him. It is as you say the offensive line for the jets is pretty awful. So tebow is a one note player. The home crowd really got excited when he came on the field. If they put him in a lot more that would change. I wish they would put him in for a whole game to shut them up. Might as well do it now since they are no longer have a playoff chance.
