Shanahan Decision Not to Take Out RGIII

[RedskinsSerbia]

Let the blame game begin. We got beat by a good team. Shanny thought RG3 gave us the best chance to win. Deal with it.

This is not about winning or losing. This is about our HC taking a risk on a player that we gave a lot for. He is our franchise QB, a leader, a best player, and a guy for we gave pretty much every valuable pick for the next two drafts. He is too valuable for us to gamble on his health. He is the biggest reason why we got to the playoffs.

Shanahan cost us this game for sure playing rg3 hurt and the future of our team.

RG3 is still awesome when he can't run, but I don't think you understand the severity of his knee injury after the 1st quarter, and how it impacted the planting of his foot to begin his throwing motion...if you're planting knee is crippled, your power and accuracy will suffer because you'll overcompensate with your arm and shoulder muscles to put power on the ball.

Exactly. It was over after that out of bounds injury.

He obviously thought wrong. How can you justify RG3's performance in the second half as being the best chance for us to win the game? Simple. You can't.

[Duckus]

Ugly how? For once we end a season knowing we have a framework for the future. But this offense has to be edited to keep RGIII healthy. He has to change his philosophy and realize sometimes it;s okay to throw the ball away. We can't go into every postseason with RGIII at 60%.

Just wait.

There is going to be a civil war on if MS should have taken out RG3 when up 14-0.

It is going to be ugly. Very ugly. Crazy folks are going to call for MS to be fired.

[SpringfieldSkins]

We have a message board full off dumasses.

That's all I have to say about that.

[Sticksboi05]

3 1's and a 2 down the drain because of Shanahan's ego. Please fire him immediately.

What are you talking about? Last I checked RGIII did not suffer a career ending injury. But to leave him in was irresponsible.

[thesubmittedone]

I'm for the mods suspending anyone who repays the coach who just took us on our longest winning streak in forever as well as an NFC East championship with this bull****.

Seriously. I'm all for it. Get mad at me cry babies.

Basically all of you are saying that RG3 is worthless if he can't run. His rep is that he's a passing QB that is capable of running, as opposed to a guy like Vick. No it wasn't pretty, but where's the Willis Reed vibe? A couple of catches here in there and better field position, a seahawk lineman tackling Morris with his ass and this game could be different.

It's more than that. It's one thing to play hurt, but RG3 was INJURED.

Sorry but your entire argument is ridiculous. He couldn't pass to save his life under the injury and that's why he should have been pulled. Shanahan **** the bed today and he deserves every damn bit of grief he gets for it.

We were up 14-0, we could have rammed Morris down their throats with 30+ carries, and throw occasional PA passes....we would have won with Cousins and a 14-0 lead the way our defense was playing

[SkinfanAZ]

You guys are funny, had RG3 threw for 3 more touchdowns, nothing would have been said. Had Cousins came in and threw 3 INT'S you would have been complaining then too. Geez leave the coaching to someone who knows what he's doing.

Already one nut calling for Mike to be fired. Shame it has to end this way.

[Warhead36]

The guy was LIMPING. I mean BADLY LIMPING. No way you leave him in.

He deserves to be fired just for that. He won't be, but he should be.

Gross negligence.

No. RGIII couldn't throw either because of his leg. He was very inaccurate and a complete non-factor. If he had been at least been able to throw the ball that would have been one thing, but he was high on every throw and either behind the reciever or ahead of the reciever. He could not put a ball on the reciever at any time after he reinjured his leg. So you put a guy in that can at least do that.
