Cousins still starter even though he’s not good

The newly-named starter for the season threw for 316 yards on 49 attempts and racked up one passing touchdown. Just four days after the encouraging win over the Rams, the Redskins unraveled early in a 32-21 loss to the Giants, stirring feelings of doubt among the burgundy-and-gold faithful. Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara jumps the route nicely, but this is simply too risky a throw to make with Cousins’ skill level, especially considering how deep the Redskins are pinned in their own half of the field.

Despite all of the production and bodies they were missing, the Giants were still able to get enough production from the players they had, as the next man stepped up big time in picking up an important win.

While Kirk Cousins has done a good job of managing the Washington offense, he is not the guy you can rely on to make plays for your team when your plans to run the ball go awry. Another defeat for the Washington Redskins.

Since his addition to the Giants in 2014, Andre Williams has accumulated 721 rushing yards, 130 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns in his rookie season alone.

EAST RUTHERFORD Struggling? Give the Washington professional football team a call.

Best time to produce now that Preston Parker is no longer dropping passes for the team: Rueben Randle finally awoke from his early season coma to catch seven passes for 116 yards and a touchdown.

The Giants came into the fixture 0-2 after blowing double-digit leads over the Dallas Cowboys and Atlanta Falcons. Despite failing to establish their running game, the Redskins had more yards on offense than the Giants.

After a lackluster performance by Kirk Cousins, coach Jay Gruden insisted Thursday night there is no quarterback controversy for the Washington Redskins.

Washington had a good opportunity with 9:42 remaining.

New York, meanwhile, was scoring with variety.

His second interception of the game, in the third quarter, was again the result of simply forcing an unwise pass. He gets a little unlucky that the ball pops high into the air and that there are only Giants defenders nearby, but if he doesn’t force this throw then he doesn’t turn it over.

Washington answered Randle’s touchdown catch with Rashad Ross’ 101-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, pulling the Redskins within 32-21 with 3:08 left.

After becoming the first team in National Football League histoy to start a season with two straight blown leads of double-digits, the Giants built a sturdy 19-point lead in the fourth behind a 30-yard touchdown reception from OBJ and strong play from Manning and the New York defense. “And now we’ve got a week to rest up”.

Washington put its first points on the board with a 44-yard field goal from Dustin Hopkins in the second quarter.

Brown was flawless on the night with three field goals and three extra points.

“You definitely don’t want to spend the whole weekend just thinking about this game and thinking about being 0-3″, Amukamara said. “In the pregame, (Eli) said this is going to be a big game for me. We have to be prepared for the Bills next week”.

JETS: Cornerback Darrelle Revis, wide receiver Eric Decker and running back Chris Ivory are all uncertain to play Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles because of injuries. “We can, but it’s going to take us coming together and cutting down on mistakes”.
