ES Coverage & Interactive Game Day Thread: 2012 Redskins vs Seahawks (Final)

[#BgMase76#]

Promoting next week's game. I'll be honest Seattle wasn't overly impressive. I don't see them going to the SB

It seemed like RGIII was just done after that rollout. IDK, I see Seattle/49ers NFCC game. Just not sold on Atlanta. GB will make mistakes. Not enough run game in GB for me.

Agreed. More reason for Shanahan to pull him. His accuracy was way off yesterday. If your QB can't throw or run, why is he in the game?

True, he started looking like in the Panthers game in the 2nd quarter. We couldn't even get anywhere near for any FG attempt. Shanny should have said to himself "Really, how far are we going in the playoffs?" and let Cousins see what he could do for the 2nd half. There probably would have been more of a running attack. Rest up RGIII's knee for the next game if we won. I think this is the last time any thing like this (letting him stay in the game injured) will happen. All Shanny has to repeat to RGIII is "Seattle!, Seattle!, Seattle!"... no matter what he says to the coach.

I think RG3s injury was a great excuse for fans who wanted him yanked for his ineffectiveness and performance, not the injury. You can't necessarily assume RG3 was ineffective due to the injury. He may have just been off, having a bad game, or, you know, going against one of the best D's in the league. If RG3 is hobbling on one leg throwing accurate darts, no one gives a **** about pulling him. We coast to victory, even if RG3 is injured and has the same risk of serious ACL-tear as he was on Sunday. This is about performance under injury, not the injury. Don't forget how some players (namely, McNair) used to play while injured (great). ACL-injury at the end of the game aside, this was really about RG3 not being able to move the ball against Seattle. You don't pull him because you're hoping he can get a good drive going at the end of the game when you're still ahead. He's still your best player, even if he's having an off game.
