NFL.com - RGIII Hurt In First Quarter

[Bubble Screen]

I thought he was hurt before the second TD pass when he was slow getting up after that one hit near the sideline.

That was it. He was hurt just before he threw the 2nd TD pass.

Seriously? You gasto be kidding right?

Even my wife who doesn't watch football was saying why is he still there when he can barely walk. I kept trying to make excuses for Robert. Everybody saw he wasn't pretending to be limping... the dude was noticeably limping. This loss still gnaws at me... I would have had no qualms if we ran the ball and got stuffed. Talk about just gifting the game to Seattle and then to hear from the loud mouth roided up on coffee and Addrall fans.

This is just too painful.

he is right though...the only reason the seahawks won the game was because RG3 was injured.

I swear I almost hate Seattle more than Dallas solely because of their fans. It annoyed me to no end how cocky they became after RG3 was incapable of doing anything. I hope Atlanta kicks their a**

Falcons will prove it. I was given a DHall Falcons jersey, and I'll wear it all week(while at home, can't at work, although we should be able to). Falcons deserve mad props for knocking the Vagiants out.

The Funny part is a bunch of Seahawk fans ACTUALLY BELIEVE the Seahawks defense made adjustments and that's why they won. What a joke. When Griffin was healthy the first 2 drives, the Redskins offense moved like a monster. That play before the 2nd touchdown sealed our doom

They adjusted and took the running game away after the quick 14-0. If Griffin was healthy it still would have been one hell of a fight. They won because they are a smart defense and it was made easier because of Griff's injury.

I just watched inside the NFL on Showtime. They had Trent Williams and RIchard Sherman miked up. RGIII was done early. Its so sad to watch. Griffin should have pulled himself from the game.

yea, he hurt himself and the team. I am not saying we would have won, but I re-watched the game last night again and there were a plays that we had wide open receivers, good protection, and a golden opportunity to connect. RGIII just couldn't plant and throw. He was totally uncomfortable in the pocket, couldn't move around well and I know hindsight is 20-20 but you could see the Seattle D was gaining confidence because of it. they were keying him up.

As far as I am concerned we gifted this game to Seattle.

They adjusted and took the running game away after the quick 14-0. If Griffin was healthy it still would have been one hell of a fight. They won because they are a smart defense and it was made easier because of Griff's injury.

that is exactly right, that is why I said we gifted them the game. They did exactly what the Cleveland D did (not to say they are not more talented than the Browns), they tried to take away the run. This is why we had several opportunities for big plays, especially play action plays. Cousins would have hurt them no question about it.

I don't agree with your sentiment if RGIII was healthy it would have been a fight. I think Cousins comes in we would have been in a fight and probably win. With a healthy RGIII the Seahawks are run out of the stadium. he would have hit those wide open receivers for either TDs or huge yardage, totally confused the D, very much like the Girls on Thanksgiving. remember in order to stack the box, they had to play man to man which they do well. But what does Man to man D do for the offense? Give a running QB huge chunks of space to run. Hell RGIII would have had a similar game as he did against the Vikings.

[Probos]

This just confirms my suspicions that his knee was much worse then reported after the game against Baltimore. Sorry, they lied.

Dammit I love Trent Williams. The verdict is in, we've got our left tackle.

Outside of the "ganja debacle" I've always thought Trent was "our LT". And, of course he cares about RG3,...everyone on that team does. I don't get all the "wow,..he really cares" stuff.

Yeah, they have a good defense, but they weren't shutting down this offense to that extent with a reasonably healthy QB. The entire game changed on that first quarter injury. It was more about that than any adjustments Seattle made. We would've adjusted back if we weren't playing with one arm tied behind our back.

[S.T.real,lights,out]

I really like trent williams in this. Seems like he really cares about RG3

I agree. Trent is pretty much my fav player on this team right now.

And i dont think this is breaking news at all. Thought it was pretty obvious he was hurt on our second drive

[Park City Skins]

Could be Robert gets hurt again after that knee is getting better.

Trent,(later in the Summer). "How's the knee?"
Robert: "Feeling good man."
Trent:"You sure?"
Robert:"Oh yeah. Feelin' great"
Trent: *Slap* (Big brotherly type of one) "Thought I told you to be careful!"

And the Seahawks knew it, as evidenced by Sherman's remarks during the game.

[youngchew]

Trent Williams and Robert represent the New Era of the Burgundy and Gold. Both played injured much/most of the season. Both displayed courage, leadership and the heart of champions and both were honored as Pro Bowlers. What great role models for future Redskins! And when we get an a Pro Bowl RT-and when Kyle design schems to protect III-we will win those Super Bowls-

Love the post! Hail!

And the Seahawks knew it, as evidenced by Sherman's remarks during the game.

Ultimately it was RGIII's fault. I think a lot of it has to do with youth and his competitive spirit. RGIII has to grow to realize his body is an asset He is ultimately responsible for it's maintenance. He could have easily cost himself millions if he never fully recovers. I know Shanahan bears some responsibility but like Trent Williams said. RGIII needed to be smart about his injury.

Yeah, who DIDN'T see that?
