#### YOU SHANAHAN

I'm guessing this is a common opinion of fantasy geeks/dynasty RGIII owners everywhere.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Bummer... That didn't look good.I don't see any reason to jump on Shannahan, though. A leg injury, or anything non-head it's really up to the player. (Unless he totally failed a structural exam on the sideline, but I doubt it.)

I don't agree Griggs, you have a young guy guy who will run through a brick wall for you, as a coach you have to have his best interest at heart, especially a rookie. You have a capable back up in Cousins, Washington should be good for years to come. Seattle is going nowhere, if Rg3 is healthy this game is over when they were up14-0.

 

[Popinski]

Oh the knee went, looks like blown ACL or MCL.

His MCL definitely gave away at the least. Obviously can't tell the extent.

He just stood up.....I've never seen a team take absolutely no precautionary measures like this. He's the franchise, cart him off and make sure its ok, dont just listen to what he says.

Yeah, you could tell it was clearly lax to begin with. A healthy RGIII's knee doesn't get hurt there.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Captain comeback Kirk

 

[FF Ninja]

Interesting no call on that 3rd and goal. Seemed pretty obvious. Joe and Troy downplayed it, though.

 

[Alkahsu]

Seahawks!!!

 

[Eviloutsider]

Is Garcon out for the game?

 

[phrozen]

nice first completion

 

[packseasontix]

Wait for all the Seahawks fans claiming how they owned the Redskins and this proves they can win on the road...

Not this Seattle fan. I said earlier that Washington would be up big with a healthy RG3. I feel terrible for the guy. Again, Shanahan needs to be punished for this one.

Touche

 

[Kevrunner]

Time for Cousins to increase his trade value.

Couldn't disagree more. He was limping severely in the second half. It wasn't even a hard decision, because it made him ineffective. He should have gotten Cousins in much earlier, because it would have both protected the franchise QB from further injury and put a more effective QB in the game.

#### YOU SHANAHAN

Whoa. Serious business time?

#### YOU SHANAHAN

I don't own him in a single league. I love the kid, think he has an unbelievably high ceiling. Hate to see Shanahan ruin him for no reason.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I think some of you are being over dramatic. Injured players play hurt in the playoffs all the time. This time it worked out horribly for Griffin, but Shanny didn't do anything dozens of coaches haven't done before.

 

[sports_fan]

Hell of a throw

 

[packseasontix]

Well 5 mins and 3 timeouts left, anything is possible?

 

[avina1]

Offense already looks better. Skins could have won if Shanny wasn't a complete doucher

 

[Kirby]

I wonder if three rookie qbs have ever taken snaps in one playoff game.

 

[lbouchard]

RGIII is still standing up on the sideline? What??

 

[phrozen]

I think some of you are being over dramatic.

new here?

 

[mr roboto]

What the hell is going on with the shotgun snaps???

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Geez, get the snap up.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Sheesh WTH with the center snaps?

 

[BobbyLayne]

Nice tackle

 

[Mr Anonymous]

What an absolutely helluva sideline throw by Cousins right there. The release, accuracy, and velocity on that throw was something not often seen.

 

[ffldrew]

had a hand on it - still could have caught it

 

[sports_fan]

ball game

 

[Hooper31]

Bruce Irvin playing inspired late in the game. Didn't see that coming.

 

[lbouchard]

Good blitz by SEA

 

[Britney Spears]

Redskin offensive line doesn't seem interested in protecting Cousins either.

 

[Riversco]

Seahawks defense is good.

 

[eoMMan]

Offense already looks better. Skins could have won if Shanny wasn't a complete doucher

Yup, great offense.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Whoever that RB was he whiffed on that block, man.

 

[GoBirds]

RGIII is still standing up on the sideline? What??

They must have known his knee has been shredded for weeks....didnt Rivers finish out a season a few years back without an ACL?Its like they dont even care about it.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Good game

Seattle can beat ATL

Hoping the NFCCG is Packers-'hawks grudge match

 

[avina1]

game. see ya next week folks.

 

[ffldrew]

Curt Warner very underrated RB

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Redskin offensive line doesn't seem interested in protecting Cousins either.

Reminds me of what Washington did to Dallas just last week.

I guess I'm in the "You play to win the game" mentality. Ask Dan Marino if he would have liked to come out of a playoff game in this scenario.

 

[avina1]

Yup, great offense.

Those two completed passes by Cousins were better than anything RG3 did since the 2nd quarter on.

Good posting.

 

[packseasontix]

Well the Seahawks pulled this one out most likely. The Redskins held in there but having 1/3 of their gameplan taken away basically screwed them over on offense. Lynch and Wilson were able to just get enough by the end of 4 quarters.

 

[Fennis]

Seahawks owned the Redskins and this proves they can win on the road

 

[Tau837]

I don't think so. Seattle has unleashed the defense on him. They were more reluctant to do that with RGIII. I think a Washington loss was sealed when RGIII reinjured his knee in the first half. And I disagree with everyone saying it is a given that had he not reinjured it that Washington would have won. They may have, but it was no given.

Fixed

SFO vs SEA and DEN vs NEP still alive...

Griffin made the decision to play

nice

This game didn't prove much of anything.

Miller putting team on his back.
