The first half was a friggin’ thing of beauty. Those 2 ints would have been a dagger most any other time. Bad INTs too...lobbing it into triple coverage and then a real bad stare down...you could see before that pass flew that it was going to be picked.

It's a tough situation to figure out. Keenum stepped up today and threw for 300-yards and 4 TDs, but then he also threw back to back interceptions and had at least two other interceptable balls. He's doing some really good things, but then he reminds you why there is hesitation surrounding him. This is a game we should have blown wide open, but mistakes both on Keenum and the defense let Washington keep hanging around.
The Rams will be a tough game. Good defense, explosive offense, and Keenum will going against his former team. He's more than earned the right to start that game and as long as he doesn't get hurt or implode, I would probably start him against the Lions and then reevaluate things.
I still think that Teddy is our best long-term option on the roster and I want to see how he handles live snaps and Shurmur's offense, but it doesn't feel like the right time to switch things up.

Can't pull a guy for one bad half when he's been a legit part of getting you to 7-2.

As much as I like TB and want him to succeed, I fear the change may mess with the chemistry on the field.

Well, Teddy started warming up...

A couple things:
- I loved the Keenum signing this offseason. I thought he would be the best backup we have had in a long, long time and it was smart knowing the injury history with Bradford. Keenum has played beyond imagination leading this team. I love his intangibles, mobility in the pocket, and ability to throw on the run. I see a little Drew Brees watching him play.
- I don't get people that think making a QB change at this point to Bridgewater helps us in any way for numerous reasons. The offense is clicking right now and Bridgewater has not played a meaningful snap of football in a year and a half. On top of that Bridgewater has never played at the level Keenum is playing at right now. Bridgewater needs to play at some point to see what we have moving forward, but just handing him the reigns would be a huge mistake.

Teddy had his helmet on for a lot of the first half.
Our offense is probably rated in the top 10. When was the last time that has happen?

IMO Teddy starts at Detroit. Short week, fresh quarterback.
