it was good news until these new tweets came out...

What new tweets? Is it more than an MCL? Please don't say anything that starts with "A"

Well, he might not have been being selfish in his intentions but ultimately, him staying in DID hurt the team.

Two important turnovers happened because of his knee...

1. The pass to Garcon should have been thrown further but RG3 simply couldn't put his legs into the throw. Result: underthrown ball and interception

2. The botched snap, RG3 collapsed, leaving the ball on the grass. Result: Seahawks get the ball right outside the endzone. Easy 7 points to seehawks.


I mean we might've done better just punting the ball as soon as we got posession on every posession after we were up 14-0.


Not saying it was RG3s fault for not pulling himself out but objectively speaking, the fact that he was not pulled out (by himself, the coach, whoever) DID hurt the team.

This I can handle, but ultimately he earned the right to be out there if he felt he could win the game. I know I sure thought he would drive us down to tie. He is the captain, it's his team. All he has been talking about is winning it for the guys like Fletcher, Moss.... The guy was out there giving his all for the team and to be labeled selfish by some is just typical of this fanbase at moments like this. Can't really blame Shanahan either until the gimpy run out of bounce. That's why the eye test showed he was in trouble, but we were moving the ball and Hank dropped a huge conversion. It played out how it did, mike and Robert with be smarter next year, let's move on.

I'm incredibly disappointed in our fanbase after all of this.

Everyone can try and tell themselves that its just the media that made RGIII feel he had to defend himself, but consider all the Redskins fans talking about it, he knows its fans too that are questioning him.

Yeah it feels real great to be a Redskin fan and see our rookie QB have to defend himself after just leading a team to the playoffs and a division title for the first time since 1999.

Couldn't agree more reading some of these post...just embarising Seahawk fans are laughing

Philip Rivers game isn't based on mobility at all, and he was effective while hurt. Big Ben has played hurt but he's also a much bigger guy and that helps him protect himself more often than not.....but even in his case he takes unecessary hits. Guys have played through ribs, ankles, arm pain and in Rivers case, a knee, but I just don't recall a QB who is asked to run and rollout playing that hobbled ever before. The bottom line is the results speak for themselves. The offense couldn't produce for nearly 3 quarters after the reaggravation with RG3 taking snaps. I don't blame him for being a competitor, because ultimately its Shanahan's call. Its a tough call no doubt, but one that should have been made. Again, not reason to fire anyone, but I hope a lesson is finally learned.

If you think Rivers didn't hurt his team, nor did Big Ben or Brett Favre at various points in their careers, you need to rewatch some of their games. When Rivers played with this torn ACL, he clearly cost the Chargers a game with some terrible throws, when they were still deep in the playoff race. Favre has cost his team so much that fans in GB even questioned him. And Big Ben has had games where he looked like he could barely walk.

I'm sick of hearing from people that act like they had never seen that happen before. It has happened. It just meant that Shanny should have pulled him late in the 3rd, but don't act like RGIII did something that hasn't been done multiple times. Hell London Fletcher did it earlier this season, where he was hobbled and was a liability in coverage, but he still played and would be able to make a few big plays.

its not good news.

I just saw. What the ****.

It's a real shame RGIII is catching any flack at all about what happened.. He's a 22 year old kid who thought he was indestructible.. The coach (and doctor) are the ones who should be taking the brunt of this..

So Will Montomgery doesn't get ANY blame whatsoever for actually CAUSING that botched snap? Its more on RGIII? how about if he snapped it right, RGIII doesn't have to pick up that fumble and theres not a turnover on that play?

He's been hurt twice and each time he supposedly learned a lesson.

Nothing has been confirmed yet...only best case/worst case scenarios. No need to overreact until concrete news has been reported. Easier said than done...but all we can do is wait.

Why would we do that when ES has all these medical experts and knee experts and people who are sure what happened and what will happen? That's crazy talk

Hoping and praying for the best

Exactly! WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!

LOL...I know, right?

My stance on the situation (regardless of today's news) is this...if the other 52 men and coaches in that locker room were in favor of RG3 continuing to play, then who are we to question the decision? He has a "C" on his chest for a reason. I just don't think there is a right or wrong answer to this scenario when nothing but hindsight is used to formulate arguments.
