Clock management has improved. Delay of game penalties have declined. The old sequence of running the clock down, calling a timeout, calling a play that fails isn't being repeated as much. They still struggle with the right number of men on the field sometimes, though.
In all fairness Griffin looked like total ###.Oh, I agree. I remember very well listening to him rant about how Griffin had to adjust to his protection or lack of it and deliver the ball. With Cousins it's all different, like the first time Cooley ever considered that offensive line play might have an effect on a QB.It's just funny to me on how the narrative changes based on the QB. In the preseason, when Robert got killed by Detroit, he couldn't slide protection the right way. When Kirk is getting pressured constantly, it's the OL playing badly and not talking to each other.Too much static on my radio yesterday on the way home to hear. I did hear him setting up grading Cousins by saying the o-line was terrible the entire game.So I know he was easing into going easy on his BF.
By pregame on Sunday Doc Walker will be in high gear. I'll listen for some Doc quotes then.
You have to forgive Cooley, though. That IS his boyfriend after all.
I think you're right. Listening to Cooley talk about him and even seeing some of the still photos of the game film, Cousins had chances downfield in this game. Did he take them because of the Dallas pressure or did he not take them because he didn't want to throw a pick and took the dumpoff instead? Could be a little of both.
I'm not saying he didn't. Was just noting how when Griffin was getting pressured like crazy, it was his fault. But when Cousins was, it was the line not blocking the right people and not communicating with each other. I'm not saying Griffin was totally blameless, just not like I'm not saying the OL wasn't at fault either. Just showing more of Cooley's bias.In all fairness Griffin looked like total ###.Oh, I agree.

And oh, by the way, for those playing at home: Chicago is ranked 29th out of 32 teams in rushing defense, allowing almost 128 yards rushing per game and 4.8 yards per carry. If we don't try to rush in this game and succeed to some degree we just suck.That's next year.
This morning I heard 30 mph wind and rain.
Just a guess but not much production, at least rushing. The field will be wet, and when Jones has to change direction before he hits the line of scrimmage (a frequent occurrance due to the o-line) he does it very slowly and usually gets nailed right there. Once he's on the run he changes direction well enough. But if he has to do it in his first couple steps he usually goes nowhere. His receiving output is anyone's guess.
If you're starting him this week, good luck. Trying to guess his production week to week is just about impossible. Chicago's run D is terrible, so the Skins have an opportunity to have a good day running the ball. Will they is a different story.
Really wanted to stop reading after the title. Wish I had. Stopped after the first paragraph. #### that guy.
Well, they got one INT today, but overall probably not a good fantasy play this week. Didn't Cousins have over 300 yards, and Redskins scored 24...
Three straight weeks atop the division. How long since we had that?
Would be nice (and more impressive) to say that with at least a .500 record. Would love to see them in the playoffs. But not with a sub .500 record.
When you watch the play, Pierre Garcon comes up behind Jones while he on the ground with both hands extended towards Jones. It looks like Garcon is telling Jones to get up and run. And then Jones flips the ball onto the ground.
Funny thing is, the Arizona game doesn't matter for the Eagles as long as they beat the Giants and Redskins.
Re: the win. On the radio people were picking at this and that, but "style points" are meaningless at this juncture. No, we're not playing well enough to win the Super Bowl. At this point the goal is to a.) win on the road, b.) win back to back games, c.) get into the Playoffs. Getting to the playoffs IS our Super Bowl at this point. If we accomplish c.) that means we probably did a) and b) which were the immediate goals.
I'm hearing Eagles fans saying Arizona is meaningless game but that is simply not the case. Consider the scenario:
Someone posted that Eagles would win tiebreaker if it comes down to common opponent due to same conf record? That sound right?
I think so, but even that depnds upon games yet to be played.
I think the Eagles hold the common opponent tie breaker, which is next after head to head. However first tie breaker is head to head. If Eagles lose to Washington, then common opponent tie breaker will not apply.
My gawd. These people are coaching in the NFL? 'Hey, lets trick them by using 'prison' instead of 'folsom'.
