Lost in all of those statistics may be the level of talent and expectation for each of those teams. I'd think the Barves streak may indeed be the most "disappointing", despite having a title thrown in there...

Agree about the level of talent. Frankly, the Nationals' level of talent surpasses the Chiefs in their respective sports. The chiefs have an above average player at the most important position, where as the Nationals have two "once in a generation" talents and a HoFer in their prime. On top of that, they've had a player in the top 5 of MVP voting in 3 of the last 4 seasons (four out of four for the Cy Young).

I'm a Cousins fan, but I think it's time to let him try his luck somewhere else. The 'skins freaked it up, but paying him at this point would be counter-productive, as this team has too many holes to fill.

Bortles has now thrown more TD passes in this year’s playoffs than Tom Brady.

This game is an example of what happens when Cousins is gone ... and the skins don't have the other pieces. Of course, as Gruden implied, the skins can be 6-10, 7-9, etc. without him.

Well, except that the 'skins, with or without him, aren't good enough to look mediocre in a playoff game. Oh well.

IMHO, the skins are better than Buffalo and Tennessee.

Maybe the Bills should put Logan Thomas at QB. Trade in one Hokie QB for another.

Bortles is a running back disguised as a QB.

Should have been a penalty for slamming Taylor's head into the ground.

Time for the Peterman Experience.

The post-play over-the-top viciousness. Slam someone's head into the ground, stand up, then knee him in the head with disregard because you're celebrating your bad-assedness.

mitlen · « **Reply #1096 on:** January 07, 2018, 04:14:42 pm »

I know I'm biased but that's an interception and JJ was an incomplete pass.

Another guy hit him late also.

Bortles is horrific, Pittsburgh should destroy them next week.

Last time was 30-9 with five Ben interceptions.
