Here are the day's inactive lists. Enjoy the games - Washington knocked off Baltimore in overtime, handing the Ravens their fourth loss of the season, and putting them a full game behind Denver in the AFC playoff race. Thank you, Shanny!

What's the purpose of the probability chart?

Former Bronco Cassius Vaughan with a goal line pick 6.

Reminds me of a few of the blowouts we suffered last year. They have a solid defense but their offense just puts too much pressure on them.

I say that with the benefit of hindsight, I didn't know either. It would have been a risky move but would have paid off. He could have run a lot of the Tebow stuff already in place while adding the necessary NFL passing ability. Of course things wouldn't be as good as they are now but they would have been a lot better than they were.

Totally classless. He went for it on 4th down up by 51. The Cardinals were beating themselves with 8 turnovers.

Of course, Seattle was running up the score. And from the guy who said "What's Your Deal?" to Harbaugh when Stanford ran up the score on USC. I guess it is better to give than to receive.

Larry Fitzgerald has six receptions for 67 yards in the last four games. If they're going to completely waste a top five WR like that, they might as well trade him to us this off season.

Does no one else think the Seahawks were really running up the score there at the end? I mean I know they wanted to get Flynn some work, and of course it's on the Cardinals for being horrible and not stopping them, but throwing in 4th Q up by 51 points? Leading to another TD drive. I don't know, Pete Carroll would get my ire especially if I were the Cardinals.

I was thinking Wilson or Lindley would be good mid round gambles. But that only has me batting .500. Just have to wait and see if Oz can produce. I wonder if we'll get a few looks at the end of games or if we lock up home field?

Posted by OutOfYourElement on 2012-12-09 20:20:53

Maybe someone knew that Russell Wilson could be an NFL star, but it sure wasn't me. I liked him at Wisconsin, but (like everyone else) thought he was too small to be a successful pro QB. Glad I was wrong. He has been awesome.

Watching the Seahawks lay a beating (51-0) on Arizona, I am reminded what a difference having PFM makes. Arizona has got nobody at QB and it really shows.

Have to wonder if Arizona would be playoff bound and Denver looking like AZ does now if PFM decided to head to the Valley of the Sun. Glad we'll never know.

Posted by Alaskan on 2012-12-09 20:05:41

While I think Oswieller is the better fit for the current situation, Russell Wilson at #51 would have been a great move had the Broncos not gotten Manning (I know, horrible thought).

They should have RGIII practice sliding like Tebow practiced ~~flipping tires~~ his new throwing motion.

Posted by OutOfYourElement on 2012-12-09 18:32:42

RGIII just takes too many vicious shots to hold up over the long term. Shanahan should put him in a more conventional offense because he throws the ball well enough to succeed in that style. Of course, fans and media would crucify him for not playing to Griffin's strengths, but all the athletic ability in the world won't matter if the young man is on the bench injured.

Posted by Yahmule on 2012-12-09 18:23:16

Not a lot of plays to fully judge the kid, but that Cousins looked good for the 'Skins. Did they say the only other time he played (to cover for an injured RGIII), he went 5-5?

Posted by John Tomasik on 2012-12-09 17:55:27

Things maybe starting to fall into place. The Broncos can put the Ravens away seeding wise next week and if Houston wins tomorrow they will control their destiny for #2.

Posted by ohiobronco on 2012-12-09 17:44:10

KC1!

Posted by ohiobronco on 2012-12-09 17:07:45

Go Skins, you can do it~~

Posted by Jesper Bangsholt on 2012-12-09 16:18:53

Shanny's Redskins are doing the job so far. They're up 14-7 and they've racked up 183 yards of offense with two minutes left in the first quarter
