Wow, that's nuts.....................Kirk Cousins.............
Yeah, and he's done it in only 40 games over 4+ seasons. Go figure. Cousins now has 16 such games. Jurgensen has 15, Theisman 13, and Rypien had 10. -- Al

Al:
I guess I figured it would be one of those all-time greats, not a guy with an overall record as a starter of 17-17-1.
I just looked at Sonny Jurgensen's career stats, that guy was amazing.

Jason, Sonny is one of nature's true characters. He is an icon in the DC area, and still the most popular Redskin ever. -- Al

I attended college in DC right when Sonny was finishing his career before being supplanted by Billy Kilmer. Billy didn't look like your typical player but he was a heck of a player. With Kilmer at the helm, those were fun years in DC. Redskins were a must watch.

I wish I was, the offense sputtered, lots of stats but no points. There was a D Sack Fumble TD that was in that score that sealed the game. I know the Browns are inept, but the Steelers didn't put up the points they should be able to. Honestly, they should be able to score 40 on the Browns, but they didn't.
TD
They were fun years. First there was the Sonny vs Billy controversy about who should be starting Qb, then Theisman came along and the two older vets tried to squeeze him out. It was quite the soap opera for a while.^&grin -- Al

What's your alma mater? I am a Hoya.
I was there when they won the '91 and Georgetown was a mad-house. A little intimidating for a life long Cowboys fan.

Got to face it Tom, our AFC North ain't what it use to be
not one team in the bunch has played worthy of a playoff bid and at this rate unless some serious changes happen (which I doubt) it will be a one and done for the North come playoff time, no Wild cards just a division winner, maybe 9-7? 8-8? I do believe it will come down to the Raven/Steeler Xmas game of who wins the North, got to laugh at the experts who were picking 3 AFC North teams to posssibly make the playoffs this year back in the Summer, oh well better to be in the hunt then to not hunt at all...maybe

And the experts picked the NFC East to be the worst division in football, and the are arguably the best. That's why they play the games.

It has been a tough year for the AFC North. I recall reading somewhere that Cleveland was not officially eliminated from winning the division crown until they were 0-9.
In today's loss to the Cowpokes, Cousins became the first Redskin Qb with 3 400+ yard games (twice this season), as he threw for 449 yards. The Redskins have 14 400 yard games in their history, by 10 Qb's, Baugh, Snead, Jurgensen (twice), Theisman, Schroeder, Williams, Rypien (twice), Johnson, McNabb, and Cousins (3 times). Kind of remarkable, considering the lineage. -- Al

Al...
so embarrassing...
I have been saying for months how bad a secondary and pass rush Dallas has...without Claiborne and Church...they were especially bad tonight...but even with them...they have no pass defense...
tonight...no sacks...no interceptions...and only 4 QB hits all game...
Cousins has a great arm...and any QB with a good arm that gets hot...will absolutely shred their defense...thank God Dallas has a good offense and can score pretty well themselves...
Cousins was 77% tonight...hahaha...that's a big number...41 of 53...449 yards in the air...with a QBR of 120.7...absolutely incredible...
the Dallas pass rush is the root of their problem...nothing makes a secondary look better than pressure on an opposing QB...rushed throws...errant throws...sacks...etc...
and secondary is basically non existent of talent...only one Pro Bowl player on it (Lee)...and he's a linebacker...not in deep coverage...it's such a glaring weakness I'm surprised any team even attempts running the ball...cause they don't need to...just throw it...Dallas can't pressure the QB and cant defend the pass with their weak 4 man rush that leaves 7 in coverage...Marinelli almost refuses to blitz...and it's hard to watch them on D...
the good news is...most of their integral parts are young players...so if they can draft some pass rushers...and some safeties and corners...they may be competitive for several years...
delighted they won...but they won't go far in the playoffs against really good QB's with that D...

A Dallas/Seattle NFCCG would be epic, with the winner steamrolling whoever shows up from the AFC; New England has no defense, Denver has no offense. That said, Denver had no offense last year and won, but Dallas/Seattle ain't an overrated Carolina team.............................anyone else from the AFC that gets to the Super Bowl other than NE or Denver would absolutely get demolished; Chiefs, Raiders, Steelers, Texans, Colts...........it would be one of those 1980's/1990's massacres, over by halftime.................

Brady doesn't play defense; that Dallas offensive line vs the Patriots front 7 would be men against boys........................I can't see the Patriots beating Dallas in a shoot out if they both get that far....................

We discuss this every year, but this is what comes from parity. There are no more truly great, dominant teams, solid in all phases of the game. If you are lucky enough to hit on a quarterback in the low rounds, and not have to pay him his value for the length of his rookie contract, you can have an exception, briefly, like Seattle, but for the part with the salary cap, teams can't afford to pay a top QB, and have a good veteran defense. That being said, the Giants, with the 32nd defense and the 30th running game won the super bowl in 2012. I would not at all be surprised to see an imperfect team like Dallas, the Patriots, the Raiders, Denver or Washington win it all, because there are no perfect teams. If Seattle has to travel to Dallas, and loses its biggest advantage, the crowd noise which turns a good defense great, it could easily loose to a Cowboys team without much of a defense. And the Giants, whose defense should climb into the top ten by the end of the season, and whose skill position players on offense are also top 10, has its own glaring weakness, an awful offensive line. So it's going to be wide open come January, with anyone who makes the dance having a shot to go all the way, as far as I can see. There are no 60's Packers, 70's Steelers, 80's 49ers, or 90's Cowboys, complete in all phases, standing in the way.
