RGIII not playing today. Kirk Cousins gets his first start as QB. This is going to make Morris's task a little harder on rushing. The odds makers are now saying the Browns will win by three...
I am not worried. Skins by 7. Cousins played very well in preseason and while he is mostly known as a pocket passer, he can run when he needs to. Shanahan has had Kirk practicing with the 1st team all week, so they do have a game plan and the players know they will have to help Morris and Cousins.
I would not be surprised if Kirk started against the Eagles next week as well. Why? We need RGIII back for the final game, Cowboys at Fedex. Still, if the Skins do not win today, and the Cowboys do tonight, then there is no reason to play RGIII the rest of the season. Let him sit and heal...
Win, lose, or draw, I am a Redskin fan. I bleed Burgundy and Gold. Still, we need the Bears, Cowboys and Seahawks to all take a dive today. I think the Bears might fall, but we need Cowboys and Seahawks to also loose. Right now, the Seahawks have better conference record than the Skins because of their 3-2-1 record, vs the Skins 3-3 conference record.
Anyway, how is everyone else feeling about their teams...
