Slow start dooms Jaguars in 38-27 loss to Saints
Quarterback Matthew Stafford was excellent once again, going 29 of 37 for 301 yards with two touchdowns and a 118.6 passer rating. Actually, some believe that he doesn’t want to be back in New Orleans and may look to get out by being traded or bought out.
The big Redskins game is still three days away, but already Redskins fans are revved up ahead of Saturday’s game against the Eagles.
For one, he’s no longer glued to the spreadsheet he created before the season to map out his life in 15-minute, color-coded chunks. Remember that at one time, Cousins was a turnover-prone hot mess and on the verge of being written off. Washington may need a franchise quarterback and may desperately want that guy to be Cousins, but I’m not convinced that he is yet. I’m eating lunch at this time. “And we can’t walk before we crawl, put it like that”, Williams said. “It probably won’t be the last, either”, Jackson said. Cox has been a factor up front all season and has 7.5 sacks in 14 games. “But now you can’t just concentrate on Garcon”.
As Washington attempts (7-7) to clinch the NFC East with a victory over Philadelphia (6-8), Cousins’ rhythm and comfort level have translated to on-field improvement.

DeSean Jackson long has shown an ability to make the loud football play.
Not that the Eagles have a special defense, but Washington’s is not much to write home about either.
Not only is Jackson more comfortable, but the chemistry is building between him and Cousins.
“It’s completely different, not from a schematic standpoint, but from a personnel standpoint”, Jenkins said about facing Washington with Jackson this time. “He’s coming into his own”.
Talking with the Buffalo News, Watkins was blunt after a game in which he caught five passes for 111 yards. Did we mention covering and tackling tight end Jordan Reed and wide receiver Pierre Garcon?
Cousins said improving chemistry with those receivers has been a gradual process. “Rex Ryan says the responsibility lands on him, and I couldn’t agree more”, says Sabuda. “What we did on Sunday was unacceptable”.

“Really what a great quarterback does is not focus in on one, but takes what you give him”, Eagles defensive coordinator Bill Davis said. Redskins injuries: S Dashon Goldson (bruised rib), RT Morgan Moses (sprained foot), RB Matt Jones (bruised hip), C Josh LeRibeus (sprained ankle), LB Will Compton (stinger). Gruden said Jackson was “still a little sore, a little beat up” after playing through his injuries on Sunday, and called his absence “maybe a veteran day.”… C Kory Lichtensteiger will start practicing this week and would be eligible to come off injured reserve for the playoffs.
