What was that?! Kirk Cousins butchers final play before halftime

They went 10-6 in his second season, missed the playoffs and things just weren’t quite the same.

He asserted that they would remove all restrictions on flights to Egypt once reliable anti-terrorist measures were implemented. But he had warm words for Mr Trump, telling viewers: “He says that he wants to move to another, closer level of relations”.

Then, as of tonight, the Redskins, who have the No. 4 seed in the NFC, will play in an NFC Wild Card round game January 9 or 10 at FedExField against the No. 5 seed team, which is now the 9-5 Seattle Seahawks.

The solid play from the wings continued in the fourth quarter as Redick scored nine of his 25 points while Pierce had five. Kobe was only on the floor for 26 minutes, because of the large Clipper lead in the second half.

We’re going to see rather soon when the playoffs start in a few weeks, but after the events of Saturday night, the Redskins cemented themselves as the team that will be representing the NFC East. There were drops, missed tackles, turnovers, penalties and pretty much everything you’ve come to expect from the Birds this season.

A rebel source said the group had chosen one of their top military commanders, Abu Hammam al Buwaidani, as their new head. The UN envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, said on Saturday that it aimed to start the talks on January 25 in Geneva.

The Washington Redskins were led to another victory by the play of Kirk Cousins.

“This is the most satisfied I’ve been as a player”, Cousins said. He finished 31-of-46 for 365 yards and four touchdowns (120.3 passer rating). Washington wanted to run a play before the half, but they certainly did not want the clock to expire without a play.

Starting cornerbacks Byron Maxwell and Eric Rowe were sidelined with injuries. Don’t be surprised if he has a big game this time as well. It’s wonderful what a quarterback can do when his offensive line actually wins the battle in the trenches.

“As far as the future, I’d like to be back here”, Bradford said. Riley Cooper dropped a pass that negated a big gain. Getting the ball to first round pick Nelson Agholor and sophomore Jordan Matthews is a must.

And there are plenty more that I’m missing.

With Billy Davis unlikely to adjust when the team runs into problems during the game, it seems all the more likely that the Birds will have a tough time slowing Kirk Cousins and the Redskins.

The Eagles have no one to blame but themselves.

Washington has not been a good road team, winning one of their last 10 games overall, they’ve covered the number in only three of those games as well. Not surprisingly, they are 0-5 in those games. It was the third straight game with a sack for the first time in his career.

Sure, they’ve defeated the New England Patriots.

But even for their shaky division, the Eagles made too many errors Saturday. He also caught his fourth touchdown of the season, all of which have come in the last five games. While Murray didn’t get any of the key carries in Philly’s loss last week, he’s still a weapon they have in the arsenal. But he was a larger part of the offense at least. They easily drove down the field on their first possession as Bradford completed all four of his passes for 50 yards. Pierre Garcon and Chris Thompson had the other two touchdown catches. The win also means Cousins will receive a hefty raise in the offseason after he threw 19 touchdown passes with only three interceptions in his final nine games. The Eagles lost their first game against Washington 23-20, with Kirk Cousins driving down the length of the field for the go-ahead touchdown.
