I was watching basketball, please recap what happened :ohdear:
I'll probably miss at least three stupid things.

Redskins complete a pass to like the 10 with 10 seconds left, no timeout...time probably runs out.
Eagles player knocks ball out of Reed's hand, gets delay of game penalty, giving Skins time to run another play
Somethign weird happens where the ball gets snapped but Cousins just stand there...not sure,
Eagles call timeout with 6 seconds left
Skins trot the offense to spike the ball I guess (Gruden tried to cover it up saying he called a play to Garcon..I don't believe it because not a single player on the Skins acted like a play was called)
Instead of spiking the ball, Cousins takes a knee


the half ends.

Ok my theory is:

They have resigned themselves to the field goal.

They want to ensure iggles get no time whatsoever, 6 seconds is a chance Philly gets a second.

So they spike to burn 2 seconds, but kirk cousins kaaaaaaaderps it.

Is that some kind of sense?

Gruden said it was supposed to be a fade to Garçon, why Cousins kneeled is a total mystery.

Cousins marched down the field with some deep passes, got within 10 of the goal line with 6 seconds to go with a pass to Jordan Reed that featured a delay of game penalty when a Philly player touched the ball. Confusion reigns, Cousins touches the ref like an old pal consoling his friend (he seriously patted his head), and then takes a knee.

Don't forget, Philly took a timeout before the kneel lmbo

I mean that's one of the dumber things I've ever seen a quarterback do but if you're going to spike the ball why bother once Philly called the timeout? Just send the FG unit out.

that game was already a one sided shitshow and decided by the time buttfumble happened, and the jets were already irrelevant

The only thing I can think of that makes some sense is Cousins saw the offside that the refs didn't call for some reason. Washington was going to run a play but Cousins wanted the penalty but for no time to go off the clock, so he took a knee immediately.

But even if that was what was going through his head why not spike it instead?

coronaball posted:

I guess if you spike it on 1st down, it would use 1 second and then you wouldn't have to kick off after the field goal.

Yeah this was probably the idea. I bet the coaches talk about burning a couple of seconds of clock and Cousins brain tells him to kneel because that's how you burn clock :downs:
