Seahawks 24 Skins 14 post game thread

Ngata cheap shot hurt him after he slid.


Do what? Am I missing the internet sarcasm here?

Listening to the John Feinstein show this morning , he mentioned the
Team Dr. Over rules the HC on whether an injured should be allowed on the field. If that's the case my apologies to Shanahan. If RGIII suffered and MCL tear, i would still be very concerned since it's the same he tore up before and he's only 22 YO.

My retort would be something along the lines - "Well, he's already kicked the Cowboys out of the playoffs and made Tony Romo cry. Anything else is gravy."

Basically what I've said

You know what? 6 in one hand a half dozen in the other. If RG3 finished the game with the injury and had won, then Shanahan would be applauded this morning for making such a gutsy call.

If the doctors said that he was physically unable to play, I find it very very unlikely that Shanahan would have ignored that.You haven't been here since before Turkey Day and now chime in with this $0.02 worth of malarkey?

Spare me.

Ngata cheap shot hurt him after he slid.
I have no problem with Ngata's hit, since RG3 was diving forward, not sliding. I do have a problem with Shanny leaving Griffin in when he clearly didn't have his legs under him after aggravating his injury at the end of the 2nd drive. I also hate Kyle's call on that play. 1st and goal at the 5, Morris and the O-line are MAULING the Seahawks D, and you call a bootleg when your QB is less than 100%? Griffin could barely move after that, and though he completed the TD two plays later, even his passing was largely off target the remainder of the game. After the gruesome final play for Griffin, I'm just hoping that he dodged a bullet, but it never should have come to that. Cousins should have been in the game much earlier, but instead Shanny was clearly putting the franchise at risk.

I couldn't help but think about Theismann's injury when I saw Robert's knee buckle. Just heart wrenching.

If I'm Snyder, I have Mike Shanahan and Dr. Andrews in my office first thing this morning. I then remove all "health related" playing decisions away from Shanahan and put the onus on my team doctor. Dr. Andrews is being paid by the team to do a job, and it appears to me either he's not doing his job, or Shanahan is overriding it.

To clear this up, and to protect the franchise's most valuable asset, you remove that decision from Mike. This isn't overreacting. I thought about this last night, and wanted to sleep on it before saying this. I woke up feeling the same today as I did last night. Did they not look at RGIII after that roll-out when he hurt himself again? Is our medical team that incompetent or is our coach that stubborn?

Mike appears not competent enough to judge when to pull a player due to health issues, so simply take that away from him and leave the X's and O's.

It's either one of two things. Bad coaching decision or bad medical staff. The only way you find out is remove the choice from the coach and it continues, you know to replace your medical staff.

i completely agree with your post. i feel this should have bene done a few seasons ago. there is absolutly no reason a coach or player should have the final call on them playing. there are far too many factors that could cloud their judgement. hopefully this is something that can be addressed this offseason. if you are going to pay the best doctor in the country to be on your sidelines for games, why not take his advice and run with it??

anyone hear anything else on griff's knee? i know someone with the redskins, it's not a great source, but it's a source and they heard that its an acl? anyone know when the results will be announced?

I watched the Theisman game. Trust me, this is nothing like what happened that night. Not even close. RG will be back.

I saw it too. Remember the game vividly. The images of it being a home game, nationally televised, and yes, the knee (Theismann's was a compound fracture) visibly buckling stirred those same images of what happened to Theismann. That's all I'm saying.

Coming in from the West Coast! Glad to be here!
First post and just joined this forum.
I cannot help but think that this was a magical season!
NFC East Champs, Sweep Dallas, Knock off Giants!
I, along with the rest of Redskin nation held my breath when Griff went down. After watching it a few times, (my medical experience goes about as far as bandaging up my kids' boo boo's) I think Griffin will be fine.
I get tired of hearing Radio sports talk hosts talk about all the Negative (remember, I'm on the west coast so I hear all neg. about it.)
The progression of this team was far better than my expectation.
Looking forward to the next season.
