How is RGIII?

I'm sure you are a great fan, but considering Seahawk fans taunted a dead Sean Talyor in 2007, a lot of us here really don't want to hear it.

Playoffs or not, RGIII had no business being out there. It was obvious he was hurting. Playing Cousins from the start would have given us a better chance to win. Shanny should be ashamed of himself.

I agree that he certainly should've been pulled after the re-injury, or at least coming out after halftime but I think people are over doing it with killing Shany for this. He made a gut decision and got it wrong, it happens. Certainly he bears blame because ultimately he's the one responsibly for evaluating RG's claims of being good to go but he would get killed if he forced RG out and we lost so it's kind of a can't win situation.

i thought his MRI was tomrrow?

the news of the MRI will probably come out tomorrow but I'm pretty sure it will be out in a couple of hours. Hopefully beat writers are on top of it.

Internet doctors scaring me with this torn ACL diagnosis. Hopefully the real doctors ease my mind after the MRI.

i can't believe RG3 thought his knee was healthy enough for no brace this week. he went down twice with no contact while wearing that bulky brace. at the same time, this injury should have healed in 4 weeks so who knows what really is going on?

That's why I've made the comment that I wouldn't be surprised to hear about an investigation. Dr. Andrews said he was worried for RG3; this was supposed to be a 4-week injury; and yet a month later, he looks nowhere near even 75%; all this in spite of reports from the team that team doctors said he's been 100% healed since before the Dallas game. Not that it really matters now, but something stinks about all this.....

I know man... I know. I did hear some of that, do not and will always struggle to know why some people do that. Don't get it twisted, I will talk some smack but at the end I'm always good for a cocktail... Especially after a win! Just do me a favor (as I work alot in Norfolk and have friends in Manassas Va) you see a Ginger in Hawks gear... Don't take a swing right off. #much_respect

That's what I'm hoping too but even in the pressed RG3 couldn't rule out an ACL tear which he could do after getting injured in Baltimore. This is just devastating.

I don't blame Shanahan. When your star tells you he is okay, and the doctor clears him, it's hard to put him on the bench.

Is MRI definately tonight?

Years ago this isn't a topic of conversation, it's a sport that calls for gutting it out and heroism and the conversation changes based on who's being talked about. Cutler doesn't play through a knee injury in a playoff game and he gets murdered for it. Because of what we gave up to get him and, imo, the paranoia of Redskins' fans expecting anything that looks good to somehow turnout to be a mirage, the conversation in his case is different. There's all kinds of history of players doing things like this through the years, it's part of the game. McNabb playing through a broken ankle, Rivers playing on a torn ACL, Leftwich being carried down the field by his linemen....it's a tough guy sport so from that standpoint, I think some of this is overreaction.

I agree, this was supposed to be a 3 week injury and he was running well pregame at Cleveland with no brace and no limp at all one week after the injury but has looked worse and worse since. People are saying that its the brace but his face is in pain when running, that isn't the brace. He should be fine by this point.

I wouldn't put it past our doctors to have misdiagnosed it as a grade 1. They clearly were wrong when they said he couldn't make it worse by playing on it because it has gotten worse every week.

Never fear, I'm not that guy. Just that that incident was the reason more than anything else I wanted to win today. And I live in Missouri, so as long as you don't come by Ft. Leonard Wood, you are safe. '

Well, I'm sure it has gotten worse because he has been playing on it.
