Thoughts On The Greatest Preseason Game Ever

RGIII VERSUS JOHNNY FOOTBALL WHO IS IN A LIFE OR DEATH STRUGGLE WITH BRIAN HOYER! PRESEASON FOOTBALL AT ITS FINEST! YOU MAY BE FORCED TO BUY YOUR WHOLE SEAT AS PART OF YOUR SEASON TICKET PACKAGE BUT YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE EDGE!

Now that we've got that out of the way, some thoughts:


  • Kirk Cousins is playing better QB than anyone else on the field tonight.
  • It's still preseason football, which means it's not real football because coaches are trying different combinations of personnel out and not actively trying to, you know, win.
  • Neither of these two teams is very good.
  • Robert Griffin III is what Manziel was a couple of years ago, except he's twice Manziel's size and has actually accomplished things in the league. Let that sink in a bit, then go wade in some more Johnny Football hype.
  • Nobody playing for the Browns can catch, except Josh Gordon, and he's going away for a while.
  • Nobody playing for Washington can block. Period. 
  • Manziel looks an awful lot like Tim Couch out there. Remember him? Didn't think so.
  • I'm pretty sure "Kai Forbath" was a character they killed off in the second season of Game of Thrones.
  • Colt McCoy? Really? THE Colt McCoy?
  • Add up the total plays where Griffin or Manziel passed or ran and you get a total of 18. Out of the entire game. Gosh, that really lived up to the hype, didn't it?
  • Oh, wait. Preseason football. Got it.
