This would be great Extreme. And if there's any team we could do this to right now, the Raiders would be the one. This is an absolute must win.

I do wish their version of RG3 was behind center this weekend, just to make it 10x more exciting than it will likely be.

Hell of a write up, very different approach, refreshing and hits it on point.

Well hold on to your sacks gentlemen, this is where our season will take the most dramatic turn.

Speaking of sacks, the Redskins are in the middle of the pack with 8 sacks this year, compared to 15 for the NFL leading Kansas City Chiefs with 15. Their linebacker, Justin Houston, has almost as many, 7.5, as the entire Redskins team. Of note, however, is that Jay Glazer is reporting that Matt Flynn will start instead of Pryor, despite Pryor having been cleared medically. Perhaps that will mean more sacks for the Redskins.

As fans, do we want pryor or flynn?

(i apologize if that question is ridiculously ignorant :\ )

Conventional wisdom probably says getting the backup is always preferable. But I'd rather face Pryor. He's really a weak passer, and I think his mobility is overrated. Flynn? He's obviously capable of a big game, if not consistently, as he's done it before. Plus, he would have to be motivated as hell if he gets a chance.

I think it's an academic question as pretty sure Pryor will get the start - he's been cleared from a concussion standpoint.

Yep - surprising

Not quite how I envisioned it, but I'll take it.
