It aslo helps the Skins by having a coach who taylors the gameplan for his players, instead of what we have.

Good point - I have been impressed by the Shannys in their job this year with RG and yesterday with Cousins. I think this makes a big difference... Yesterdays game was the first Browns game Ive watched so its hard for me to critique your coaching but it does seem like the Brown's game plan could have been better. They were at a slight disadvantage not knowing who would play QB - it sounded like they (And most Skins fans and media) thought it would be RG.

I was surprised that T-Rich wasn't involved more. He runs so strong - similar to our RB. The Skins were playing the run just like the Browns were but getting the ball into his hands as much as possible would have been a goal of mine.

Yeah, I'm sure it has nothing to do with their 1,200 yard rusher with 7 TDs. It's clearly been all RG3.

I didn't say RG3 wasn't good, don't get your little panties in a wad. But Cousins proved today that he isn't as much of a game changer as some thought.

You need to read my post again there Timmy...

I said the Rookie RB has played well and deserves credit... Also, Cousins did play well but it was against Cleveland lol.. I don't think anyone is ready to make him a starter over RGIII because he managed to beat Cleveland. The game would would have been out of reach for you after the first quarter had RG played. Similarly, there is no way he [Cousins] beats the Giants like RG did. RG had a win in Atlanta before he got knocked out of the game at the end - Cousins came in and lost the game. He made up for it against Baltimore and played well yesterday but no way Cousins is as good as RG in my opinion and Id say RG IS as big of a game changer as I thought.

Not a bad idea to lobby for a pick for him,hes actually looked quite good...The most i see anyone paying is a 2nd though and even thats high...

Based on what we have seen so far you are probably right... Problem is I don't know that the Skins can afford to until RG proves he can get through a 16 game season. The latest injury was a bit of a fluke IMO as it was not a designed run, but because of his abilities he is more apt to run when other QBs wouldn't. I think Cousins has more value as a back up than a 2nd this next year and who knows, perhaps he will be worth a 1st the following year.

@tim-couch-pulls-out said:

Because this is a Browns forum.

Obviously - to bad you can't take it like you can dish it out.

@tim-couch-pulls-out said:

What I took from this game was that maybe RG3 isn't as great as he was made out to be. Cousins played a fantastic game, but it's more likely that the team around him is just clicking more than Cousins is the next Tom Brady.

Great theory until you remember what the Skins did last year with Beck/Grossman. RG3 and to a lesser extent Cousins are playing pretty damn good. That, and their rookie RB isn't half bad either. To suggest RG isn't to a large part responsible for the skins sitting at 8-6 is silly. They are the Browns without RGIII (or Cousins today).

You're talking shit now, but you are not that good. You beat a team that is not that good and you're acting like it's a big deal. Typical asshole from the Northern VA/MA/DC area.

You are gonna whine and cry about someone talking shit after 95% of the members here talked about how the Browns would walk over the Skins? How you had this 3 game win streak going bla bla bla. Quit your sniveling. Oh and I am from Ohio....

First game Ive watched T-Rich play. Very strong after contact, was impressed by him.

@diehardbrownsfan said:

foreskins won't make the playoffs. Don't act all cocky because you beat us.

Well they are in first in the NFC East at the moment - holding tie breakers over the Giants and Cowboys. One thing is for sure, they have a lot better chance at making it than the Browns do. Ba ha ha ha.

@comeonman said:

Wow you are a complete idiot. The browns are not good, neither are the 4skins. Get a better team before you talk shit

You are right about one thing... The Browns are not very good.. (I actually thought the game would be close) yet so many around here were talking "shit" before the game... "3 game win streak" bla bla bla. The Skins were good enough to put an end to that little win streak at da doggie pound.

@comeonman said:

What are the 4skins dreams? Maybe sneak into playoffs (maybe) and get raped in the first round. Get a better team before talking shit

You know you are right.... we would rather be a doormat like you. SMH

Season isn't over and the Skins aren't a lock for the playoffs but who wouldn't rather be a playoff team? Did you get dropped on your head?

@miktoxic said:

cousins (sounds like a steeler inbred thread) does a decent job....with 00.012 going into the first quarter.

sheard drops him like a bag of hair and the redskins are done.

browns 34 skins 10.

see ya next year pal.

LMAO Browns were lucky RGIII wasn't playing today. It wouldn't have been a game after the first quarter if he had - it appears resting him was the smart move. Your running back runs strong but there is some work to be done on that roster. 38-21

@king-ghoolie-lives said:

Weeden was a smarter pick than Luck and RG 3. Just sit back and warch.

I sat back, watched and laughed my ass off at the Browns and you.

@skinsfan28 said:

BUT, I do NOT want him practicing all week, I think thats kinda ridiculous. Let him rest put him in the tank for 12 hours a day until Sunday.

I get a kick out of pro/anti Skins fans debating on if he should play like anyone other than the Doctors actually looking at his knee knows anything. What is ridiculous is saying what he should and shouldn't be doing based on what little you actually know. No one other than the coaching staff knows if he will play on Sunday and they might not even know at this point.

For all the Browns fans and fans of other teams claiming he will get killed if he plays with a banged up knee I guess we will see. Im thinking there are many players playing in every game fighting injuries. Its Football. Injuries happen. Cutler hurts his knee and goes out and people bitch about him being a pussy. Now, RG gets his knee bent the wrong way and people are freaking out saying "Oh my God, he shouldn't play till next year"... "An ESPN doctor says _(fill in the blank)__" . Its football. IF the coaches think he can go out and play without causing further injury and play well he will play.. if not Mr. Cousins will.

@miktoxic said:

espn haid on doctor on yesterday explaining the treatment for a sprained LCL. sit out 2-3 weeks. period.

Yeah a "doctor on ESPN" knows way more than Dr. Andrews the world renowned expert on sports injuries... Im guessing the Skins will listen to what he has to say on the subject but thats just a guess. Bottom line is no one knows yet if RG will play or not.. If he practices tomorrow and or Wednesday Id say there is a good chance he does.. Its FOOTBALL. The Skins actually have realistic playoff hopes. If Andrews says he shouldn't play he won't but to think some ESPN doctor that hasn't even examined RG knows who will be starting for the Skins is silly.

Andrews was the first person to examine RG after the injury happened and was the one who told him he could go back out and play a few more snaps during that last drive in regulation.

@king-ghoolie-lives said:

As I said,

RG3 is now on his way out of the NFL. Each time he coemms back a wee bit slower, it is more likely he will get knocked the fuck out again.

RG3 will be a distant memory in 3 years and Luck will be a joke.

Weeden, by far teh better QB of the three.

"Weeden, by far teh better QB of the three" LMAO. I want some of what you are smoking you ignorant fuck. Are you stupid enough to believe that or do you just get a stiff one when you see a Ginger?

Keep telling yourself that Weeden is the man because the alternative of realizing your browns are and will continue to be pathetic year after year can't be much fun. The colts with Luck beat your ass already this year dip shit.
