Redskins-Browns Open Thread
By Jamie Mottram | December 16, 2012
If the Skins win they have about a two-out-of-three chance of making the playoffs for the first time in five years. If not, it’s about a one-out-of-three chance.* It’s also Kirk Cousins’ first NFL start. No pressure, no diamonds.
Kickoff: 1:00 p.m. ET
Line: Redskins +2.5
Prediction: Redskins, 21-18
(* Playoff odds via The Insider.)

@homercles
“homercles cares not for beans”
thank you sir.
December 16th, 2012 at 1:10 PM
Banks not back for the kick off? A promising start!
December 16th, 2012 at 1:10 PM
That WAS a nice play by Sean Kerrigan!
December 16th, 2012 at 1:17 PM
This is going to be a long game…
December 16th, 2012 at 1:18 PM
Sooo it’s going to be this kind of game.
December 16th, 2012 at 1:18 PM
On a brighter note, Kirk Cousins is a better tackler than Deangelo Hall.
December 16th, 2012 at 1:20 PM
Cousins looks awful.
December 16th, 2012 at 1:20 PM
My mom is probably a better tackler than D Hall.
December 16th, 2012 at 1:20 PM
Falcons 7
Giants 0
December 16th, 2012 at 1:21 PM
The rout is on.
December 16th, 2012 at 1:22 PM
How about getting Alfred Morris involved?
December 16th, 2012 at 1:25 PM
They need to run some screens or something … way too much pressure from the d-line
December 16th, 2012 at 1:25 PM
How long til we go to Rex?
December 16th, 2012 at 1:27 PM
Falcons 14
Giants 0
December 16th, 2012 at 1:34 PM
wow…. how the F did the refs miss that?
December 16th, 2012 at 1:35 PM
I guess the defensive holding negated the defensive pass interference call.
December 16th, 2012 at 1:39 PM
boom. looked almost RG3ian.
December 16th, 2012 at 1:40 PM
Dank Dankerson!
December 16th, 2012 at 1:41 PM
Ballsy throw – I like it. Keep em coming!
December 16th, 2012 at 1:41 PM
So it is going to be that kinda party?
December 16th, 2012 at 1:44 PM
Josh Cribbs seems to have some weird Lorenzo Alexander fetish. If I were him, I’d take a knee and get over it.
December 16th, 2012 at 1:44 PM
Lorax is effin mother errfers up!
December 16th, 2012 at 1:46 PM
Hard hitting D today.
December 16th, 2012 at 1:48 PM
manning picked off again
December 16th, 2012 at 1:48 PM
3 man rushes. Playing coverage. Haslett seems to realize this is Cleveland. Not shitty.
December 16th, 2012 at 1:51 PM
What is better for the Redskins? Eli with a pickle fetish or Josh Cribbs with a Lorax need???
December 16th, 2012 at 1:54 PM
“Where does he get that size and that girth?”
That’s what SHE said!
December 16th, 2012 at 1:54 PM
Falcons 17
G-Men zippo
December 16th, 2012 at 1:56 PM
Size, girth, and that chick magnet car. Alf has it all.
December 16th, 2012 at 1:57 PM
58 yard fg attempt?
December 16th, 2012 at 1:59 PM
False start? Cmon man.
December 16th, 2012 at 1:59 PM
hey! it’s the good ol’ redskins of old! penalty coming off of a TO!
December 16th, 2012 at 2:03 PM
Cleveland is not a good team. Winning streak or not this team at home should not be in a dog fight with a 4th round rookie.
December 16th, 2012 at 2:05 PM
For not running well, we are killing them on play action fakes. Yikes.
December 16th, 2012 at 2:06 PM
KC III!
December 16th, 2012 at 2:07 PM
he ain’t old.
December 16th, 2012 at 2:08 PM
ruling the challenge on the field?
December 16th, 2012 at 2:10 PM
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand of course it’s incomplete. Wow
December 16th, 2012 at 2:11 PM
these refs.
December 16th, 2012 at 2:12 PM
Refs are shitty. PSGO
December 16th, 2012 at 2:14 PM
Forbath, man. That boy good.
December 16th, 2012 at 2:14 PM
When Forbath misses his first kick it is going to be painful. :(
December 16th, 2012 at 2:14 PM
Hasn’t missed = solid? Ok
December 16th, 2012 at 2:15 PM
Forbath – BHSA.
(Buy house stay awhile)
December 16th, 2012 at 2:16 PM
Donk, co-sign. Also that RGIII kid can BHSA.
December 16th, 2012 at 2:19 PM
Sean is having a pretty good game so far.
December 16th, 2012 at 2:20 PM
Hopefully just a stinger on lorax
December 16th, 2012 at 2:21 PM
I’ve listened to some awful announcing during the year, but Pitts and Martz have to be the worst in the business. I mean, my god it’s painful.
December 16th, 2012 at 2:21 PM
giants left 6 on the field.. 0 – 17 ATL
December 16th, 2012 at 2:25 PM
Why did Domonique Johnson run away from the ball carrier on that wildcat play??
December 16th, 2012 at 2:26 PM
DJ Johnson showed off his vagina move. Ole!
December 16th, 2012 at 2:28 PM
Gordon looked short of the first down on that play where LorAx laid him out. Bad spot may’ve cost the Redskins seven.
December 16th, 2012 at 2:28 PM
Lol Nike frees under the news desk
December 16th, 2012 at 2:31 PM
What a train wreck.
December 16th, 2012 at 2:37 PM
Thank goodness Cousins recovered that fumble right there.
December 16th, 2012 at 2:40 PM
Falcons 24
G-Men zippy
December 16th, 2012 at 2:51 PM
A Giant L means nothing with a Redskins L.
December 16th, 2012 at 2:53 PM
Weeden has been waiting all game to log on to interception.com.
December 16th, 2012 at 2:53 PM
maybe we do have something with these LB’s once Fletcher retires. That was a nice grab.
December 16th, 2012 at 2:54 PM
He just got Robbed
December 16th, 2012 at 2:54 PM
rob jackson has turned this defense around.
December 16th, 2012 at 2:55 PM
these refs
December 16th, 2012 at 2:55 PM
Why the fuck are the refs refusing to call holding on the Browns secondary?
December 16th, 2012 at 2:57 PM
Rob J BHSA
December 16th, 2012 at 3:02 PM
Kerrigan… so consistently good.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:02 PM
reed who?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:02 PM
Ryan “just the tip” Kerrigan.
/Berman’d
December 16th, 2012 at 3:02 PM
C’mon boys. Get 6 here and sit in the drivers seat. New York is imploding.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:03 PM
ha. love it, Jim Ed.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:08 PM
qb sneak it here?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:09 PM
KC Masterpiece !!!!
December 16th, 2012 at 3:09 PM
Dank Dankerson! Again!
December 16th, 2012 at 3:10 PM
this game restores my faith in humanity. that 4th rounder was well spent. still, heal fast rgiii.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:10 PM
Dank Dankerson indeed
December 16th, 2012 at 3:10 PM
Cousins suddenly has 199 yards, two TD and a 98.6 rating.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:10 PM
clutch pressure throw.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:10 PM
Spank Spankerson!!!!
December 16th, 2012 at 3:19 PM
Throwing the ball away on 4th down, Weeden is Brunell 2.0
December 16th, 2012 at 3:20 PM
…and that’s taunting how?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:21 PM
these refs are shitty.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:21 PM
These refs are fucking horrible.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:23 PM
Of course even when it’s blatantly obvious, we still only get 5 yards
December 16th, 2012 at 3:23 PM
the ref looks like the kind of guy who got a prostate exam where the doctor had both of his hands on the refs shoulders during examination.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:25 PM
really? batted ball is intentional grounding now? really?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:27 PM
Hey Cleveland, you have a windmill – good for you!
December 16th, 2012 at 3:28 PM
This guy Weeden.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:28 PM
Fletch lives!
December 16th, 2012 at 3:28 PM
LONDON!!!
December 16th, 2012 at 3:28 PM
Who gives a fuck if it was taunting or not. DONT FUCKING TWIST THE BALL EVERY CATCH YOU MAKE. Meanwhile, nice pick by London.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:31 PM
Great way to end the first with that catch.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:31 PM
first place. decemeber. wait, WHAT?!
December 16th, 2012 at 3:31 PM
meanwhile, LOL at the Giants.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:31 PM
Jordan Black replaced Polumbus?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:32 PM
That Paulsen first down just made me feel so much better about the fourth quarter to come.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:32 PM
oh chris chris chris. have you learned nothing?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:32 PM
jamie, the elder shanahan is a winner. well both of em. but really, 4th rounder well spent.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:34 PM
no ball twist, is the new ball twist
December 16th, 2012 at 3:34 PM
Mike Martz is a idiot
December 16th, 2012 at 3:36 PM
How was that not taunting on Haden?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:36 PM
THE SHANANHII ARE NOT PROTECTING COUSINS! THEY ARE GOING TO GET HIM KILLED WITH ALL OF THESE ROLLOUTS!
December 16th, 2012 at 3:37 PM
Fuck Yeah!
December 16th, 2012 at 3:37 PM
it’s a…..blow out? without rg3?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:37 PM
@Puttz: agreed
December 16th, 2012 at 3:37 PM
the redskins have….depth? and…talent?? what in the….?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:38 PM
Dan Graziano of ESPN predicted skins lose 7-6 . Just thought i’d share.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:38 PM
It’s like an alternate universe.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:39 PM
Glad the skins scored, but way to vulture my TD Royster
December 16th, 2012 at 3:39 PM
pierre garcon is the difference maker the redskins need. he is worth the contract he got.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:40 PM
What Jules said. I’m just not confortable. It just doesn’t feel right. It’s 3:40 and I’m not an angry drunk.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:40 PM
Much success !
December 16th, 2012 at 3:40 PM
graziano is better than mosley. he freely admits he often doesn’t know what to forecast and hates making picks. not a straight dallas homer.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:40 PM
i don’t even care that matt ryan and tony gonzalez are killing me in my playoff round.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:41 PM
are the Redskins the best team in the NFC right now? definately the hottest
December 16th, 2012 at 3:41 PM
Any chance the Steelers put it to Dallas?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:42 PM
@ Puttz. In one word, Hell Yes.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:43 PM
rob freakin jackson. all he does is win. no matter what. got sack strip on his mind, he don’t ever give it up.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:43 PM
uh. dj johnson. psgo.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:44 PM
I dont know who #30 is, but he learned to play CB by watching D Hall
December 16th, 2012 at 3:44 PM
Could’ve done without that.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:46 PM
laron landry?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:48 PM
dj johnson makes dhall look prime time-ian. (he’s an obvious loser, right?)
December 16th, 2012 at 3:49 PM
Was going to name my son Robert Griffin Puttz but not thinking Kirk Cousins Puttz.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:49 PM
I keep seeing the other team run right by that guy #30 for some reason.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:52 PM
Robert Cousins Puttz?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:52 PM
best false start ever.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:52 PM
jamie, can we slap dr. z in the loser column for his 3 win prediction? first place in december is a big middle finger.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:53 PM
but really, tana man? what was that bro?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:53 PM
Oui Pierre
December 16th, 2012 at 3:53 PM
I love Garcon.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:54 PM
Garcon means “the man” in French. I just made that up.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:54 PM
pierre is just rubbing it in. love it!
December 16th, 2012 at 3:54 PM
Weeeeee
December 16th, 2012 at 3:55 PM
Is this the most points we’ve scored this season?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:57 PM
other than the saints game?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:57 PM
RGIII’s QB rating this season: 104.2. Kirk Cousins’ today: 103.2.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:57 PM
Winners: Older Shanny. Huge F-U to everyone hating on the KC pick.
If Sexy Rexy was playing in this game, we would be losing.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:57 PM
we scored 41 first game and 38 like 4 other games this season.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:58 PM
there are losers for this game though. dj johnson, the refs. tana?
December 16th, 2012 at 3:59 PM
Wait, we have 2 good QBs? I can’t comprehend.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:59 PM
Announcers too. Painful.
December 16th, 2012 at 3:59 PM
cofield tazer dance. winner.
December 16th, 2012 at 4:00 PM
Think I might go out and grab a 6 pack of Great Lakes Eliott Ness Amber Lager to show my appreciation to Cleveland rolling over for us. Also, because its delicious.
December 16th, 2012 at 4:00 PM
COFIELD TAUNTING!
December 16th, 2012 at 4:00 PM
25/36 314 2TD1INT. Not to bad
December 16th, 2012 at 4:00 PM
Commence celebration.
December 16th, 2012 at 4:01 PM
are we going to score the most points this seasons with kirk cousins at the helm?
December 16th, 2012 at 4:01 PM
The hubby is a Giants fan. Hubby is off pouting somewhere.HTTR
December 16th, 2012 at 4:02 PM
Losers: Cleveland cause they suck and LeBron is from there even though he’s a Cowboys fan.
December 16th, 2012 at 4:03 PM
Kc loves the rollout
December 16th, 2012 at 4:04 PM
the redskins are going to run up the score on cleveland. because that is what you do when you taunt. bitches.
December 16th, 2012 at 4:07 PM
Ha. KC and Shannyshine Band don’t play thay way.
December 16th, 2012 at 4:08 PM
Skins clinch the division next week
December 16th, 2012 at 4:09 PM
Want: KC and the Shannyshine band T shirt
December 16th, 2012 at 4:09 PM
The Redskins are 8-6. They haven’t been this good through 14 games in SEVEN YEARS.
December 16th, 2012 at 4:10 PM
VIVA LOS REDSKINS! NFCEAST Closeout sale next two weeks!
December 16th, 2012 at 4:10 PM

Enjoyable time with the rest of your rabble once again! HTTR!
December 16th, 2012 at 4:13 PM
Shanny is so happy.
December 16th, 2012 at 4:50 PM
a while is two words.
December 16th, 2012 at 4:57 PM
Forbath drilled his field goal even though he kicked the laces. This is wonderful. Happy Holidays to everyone.
