Kirk Cousins Leads Washington to Big Win over Buffalo
In their last four games, the Bills have yielded 1,114 yards and 10 touchdown passes vs. Alex Smith, Sam Bradford, Brian Hoyer and Cousins…. The Redskins immediately set their sights on winning two games in a row for the first time since October 2014 – and they accomplished that, too.
Kirk Cousins has won over the Washington Redskins with his great quarterback play of 2015. “You like that! You like that!” “I need to step up and lead a little bit more and I put that on myself”. “I couldn’t hear play calls and all that stuff”.
For a QB who began the season as a career backup, Cousins sure is Mr. Popularity these days. “We’re on the same page, and we’re just going to continue to work and grow as teammates and just do what we have to do to win”. “I don’t know who in the world is calling, saying what personnel they’re in or whatever, or how is that confusing”. Cousins capped it with a 5-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Pierre Garcon with 11:16 left to play. “We got beat a few times, but he does have that escapability, and I was happy to see the way he created and made some big runs for us to keep drives going”.
The Philadelphia Eagles host the Washington Redskins in one of the National Football League games in Week 16 schedule on Saturday, December 26 start time at 8:25 PM ET, at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pa. “But we knew. If it came down to a dogfight, we knew that we have each others back”. “We’ve all got to evaluate each other and ourselves and the coaches, and we’re gonna get it fixed”.
At 6-8, meanwhile, the Bills are assured of missing the playoffs.
“Did it go according to plan?” The Bills looked unprepared, uninterested, and incompetent during the first half, and it wasn’t a whole lot better in the second half. Thus was born a meme – and fans serenaded him with the phrase Sunday.
I visualize things can get much, much worse this week for Ryan and his staff. The trainers feel very good about Clay’s chances, while Bradham, who suffered a setback last week, has the Bills hopeful that he can make a return this week. He completed 22-of-28 passes for 319 yards and four touchdowns and no picks, plus he scrambled for a score. That’s Tom Brady. This was Kirk Cousins posting a 143.7 passer rating, the third-best ever against the Bills. The New York Giants have lost four games in the final 10 seconds, including Sunday’s near-upset of the unbeaten Carolina Panthers. If we go into Philly and win that game, we’re definitely a lock for the playoffs. “Everybody”, Ryan said. “That’s just the reality of this business”.
With a 7-7 record, Washington stays atop the NFC East and moves closer to earning a playoff berth. Instead defensive end Mario Williams burst through and gobbled up Jones, rendering him unavailable for a pass. “That’s obvious. You just wait and see if your number is called, that’s all”.
“It was a huge turning point”, Gruden said. He is 75th out of 90 quarterbacks in annual average salary, including third on his own team behind Robert Griffin III and Colt McCoy. It really is not in Cousins’ interest to get a deal done so early because it should probably only help his bargaining position to hit the open market. Jackson caught six receptions for 153 yards and one touchdown.
“He isn’t leaving there; absolutely no way (general manager) Scot (McCloughan) is letting him walk”, said a high-ranking official of one quarterback-needy club who values Cousins highly.
