Haslett has gotta go after this meltdown

[Hitman21ST]

Damn it defense. We could have stole this one

Hopefully that will put a little of a damper on the "QB Controversy" crowd.

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Wow just like 2011. Seen it too much where the defense coughs it up. Make a stop and a big play!

half those kids won't even be NFLers in 3 wks...chill out man lol

[Unforgiven]

Kirk Cousins - 18 of 23 for 264 yards and 3 TDs. QB Rating - 154.1.

Against scrubs but still, he looked legit.

[NVskinsfan]

It was an interesting game. First cut, better be Kehl. Hands of stone!

[jaybrant]

So you've a rookie starter, which as limitless potential as he has, is gona' be a tough year in all probability as he's still a rookie. And you'd rather have another rookie, who'd never of faced the full pace of a regular season NFL game which is a WORLDS difference from playing against second, third and fourth stringers in pre-season exhibition; ready to step into a game if the first rookie goes down?

As bad as Rex is, I don't get that logic.

They'll carry 3 QB's, and Cousins will sit, watch and learn this year, when at least he'll have a year under his belt learning the system.

And Gould is one HELL of a kicker.

Hail.

I agree with this. I don't see how Shanny can go rookie QB's at 1 and 2. You almost have to go with experience at the backup spot.

Haslett has gotta go after this meltdown

His contract is up after the season, and it's not getting renewed.

[Jumbo]

I swear to ****ing god that Vinny Cerrato has multiple accounts on this board.

Nothing brings out the lame and just plain stupid like game day threads... preseason or regular, doesn't matter...

Attitude has to start from within!

[rskin72]

God, if we could ever hold onto an interception....

[Buckshot_Tony90]

man i love the bears announcers.

[GibbsFactor]

Kinda glad they kicked that 57 yarder. Team needs to have some semblance of defeat after that 1st half.

[ECU-ALUM]

Yeah it was against 3rd stringers...but hey Cousins has nothing to hang his head in shame about that is for sure.

[Uumuur]

Good game, Cousins is steping up looks way better than rex. Next game will be the better evaluation of RGIII

[AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy]

Someone has to step up in the secondary. I think the offense will work itself out. Cousins turned an unwatchable game into a full pint of liquor. Thanks Kirk!

[Boss_Hogg]

Congratulations to any lurking Bears fans.

We're a happy family at ES, honestly.

[jaybrant]

*Begin sarcasm* Things I took from this game:

1. Cousins>RGIII... Bob's gotsta go!

2. Niles Paul drops passes. Niles Paul's gotsta go!

3. The defense gets beat. Jim Haslett's gotsta go!

That is all. *End sarcasm*

[NVskinsfan]

Cousins could be coming into his own...even Rex wasn't that good last year!

[skinsmarydu]

I agree with this. I don't see how Shanny can go rookie QB's at 1 and 2. You almost have to go with experience at the backup spot.

I dunno...3 touchdowns and no ints? I love Rex probably more than anyone on the board,(Go Gators!) but even his experience can't pull that one off.

[Rabsuz]

Are people really calling for Jim Haslett's head after a preseason exhibition game?

Really? After all this you draw a line at a preseason game?

[respectgibbs]

Keep Rex. Don't question it. Need a vet in there.

[jaybrant]

I dunno...3 touchdowns and no ints? I love Rex probably more than anyone on the board,(Go Gators!) but even his experience can't pull that one off.

I'm not the coach so you could be right. I just can't see it. But we shall see.

Hail.

You go with the best player, regardless of their experience. Maybe, Cousins could start off as the 3rd stringer, but I bet he supplants Grossman before the season is over. We already know what we have in Grossman. I've watched football long enough to know the difference between playing against starters versus playing against several players who either won't get much PT once the regular season begins or any PT at all (several will be cut). Thanks, anyway!

I'm going by how Cousins seems to look poised and relaxed, and in some ways look like he belongs. Not to mention, he has some zip and accuracy on his balls. You have to look how his game could project against the "real thing." Grossman may (or may not) begin the season as the #2 guy, but I don't think it'll last long if that is the case.

[Riggo'sRangers]

moss,hankerson,garcon,morgan,briscoe and robinson???

Yes; as I see it.

[NVskinsfan]

My only question is why is the first string offense playing with hands tied and 3rd string is getting better play calling? It may only seem that way but really seems this is the game plan. Vanilla vanilla vanilla
