Quick RG3 update (next person to speculate on how much time he will miss without any kind of real knowledge will miss time of his own) (merged)

There was nothing dirty on that play. The Ravens player made a clean hit/tackle.

Nor was there anything dirty about the hit on the sidelines, where Bob was wanting the flag. And the hit which knocked off his helmet looked pretty clean to me, too. I thought the game was just good hard football..Even the play where Hall got flagged, they could have let that one go, too.

I agree that if he can play he needs to play. Dallas just won and the Giants are winning right now. Looking at what Seattle just did, we are more likely to win our division then get a wild card. But we have to keep winning.

I agree about the hits against us...all three (even the one that was flagged seemed clean). I think the DLo one was correctly flagged and think he could have gotten another penalty on a kick return.

I am apparently in the minority on this one, but I disagree. He was going to the ground and the defender was going for a kill shot. Maybe it wasn't illegal, but it was clearly unnecessary.

It would be hard to convince me that the Ravens were not trying to hurt him today, as has most every team we played this year.

agree 100%.

I agree with you that it was an unnecessary tackle and the defender was just trying to get a shot in before RG3 hit the ground. He hit RG3 just before he hit the ground, so it was legal, but it wasn't a clean play. RG3 needs to help himself by sliding more often. He is doing better with avoiding hits when scrambling though.

Did anyone else see him crying on the sideline after we tied it?

yes i did he is just that type of guy glad he is part of our team HTTR prayers going out to RG3

For anybody who doubts the Ravens intended to hurt RG3, I would like to remind you of this tidbit: http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/r...ge=2&track=rss

Although Griffin obviously has the capability to confound defenses, defensive end Pernell McPhee has a rather simplistic plan for what to do about the electrifying rookie.

"We got to hit him," McPhee said. "Hit him, hit him, hit him, and make him break.'

Honestly this game may be a W for the record, but if Griffin is seriously hurt this game is a loss in my book.

RG3: Doctors "told me they felt like my ligaments all feel good. It’s just a matter of what the MRI says. They told me my ACL looked good."

My best guess is a sprain from all of the hearsay from RG3 and twitter...(actually at worst that's what I hope)... I won't sleep easy until the MRI comes back... even then, I hope and pray for good results

[Skinz4Life12]

when is he getting the MRI? I'm guessing we will know tomorrow?

I don't know if this holds true for all injuries like this, but when I tore my meniscus they wanted to wait greater than 24 hours to let the swelling go down a little bit before they did the MRI so that it didn't interfere with the results. So we may not hear anything out until Tue-Wed if that's the same type of deal.

If the media somehow gets their hands on it, probably later tonight. ACl would be devastating though. Dude has already had one on the right knee. No bueno

Which one you talking about on the sidelines? ONe where he was hit on the head and the guy was launching towards his helmet (and did make some contact?) That's a dirty play it looked like Pollard was imitating Rodgers-Cromartie on that one. There was another one where Griffin was already out of bounds and the Ravens player hit him to the ground while everyone's feet were in the chalk. It was an illegal hit.

The Ravens, like many of the teams we played, went out to play dirty against RG3 specifically. The Rams, Bengals, Cowboys and today stand out but I might have missed someone. Oh, the Eagles but more because of two instances that I recall.

Sorry, but there's nothing there to indicate that they intended to injure him. It's sound defense to hit QBs who are a threat outside the pocket, esp. ones who run the read option. The hit on this particular scramble also wasn't dirty.
