Great win! Hope Griffin plays next week. They say it's a sprain so we'll see

Our coaches are teh same idiots who had Hall out there today, when they shouldn't have.

Apparently a sprain involves a partial tear soooo... That's not good

Mike Shanahan: Kai Forbath got a game ball in front of the team post-game. "I'm glad he's on our team." #Redskins

well guys we stuck with the fundamentals...our defense held late to get us the ball, on special teams we had big plays, we showed our skill in drafting by having backup makes big play...and we went with our strengths in kicking the ball....

I mean seriously, wtf?!?! Thats not the skins we all know and love! lol

Yeah our playoff hopes will be diminished if RG3 is out for any length of time, but it will give Kirk some pt and some valuable learning experience. Our d once again made timely plays, but it's obviously something to work on for next year.

Main concern right now has to be RG3. Hopefully it's a manageable injury.

I think if he plays well next week, we might be able to swing a third, maybe a second if he has two really good back to back weeks. That is a worst case scenario/best case.

I'd like to hold onto him though. Great poise, and just goes out and plays. Doesn't seem to let the game overwhelm him, just what you need your backup to do.

RGIII was wanting to come back in the game the 2nd time. So, that is a good sign. I'm calling him out next week.

That might be overly optimistic. The market right now for a good backup is one or two first round picks. Most of the teams picking late in the first round already have QB's. Then again seeing how a freshman just won the Heisman and we're looking at the worst QB draft class in years that price could go up as there seems to be a serious shortage of QB's on the horizon. One that mirrors the early 2000's.

you can tell Crawford doesn't get much press time haha

Darn it, cowpukes won. Could come down to last game.

thats not true.

If its just an MCL or PCL strain, which it could very well be, then he might be out next week, might not. If its ACL SPRAIN, then he will be out a minimum of next week, probably the week after as well.

Its not a tear, no way he would be walking unassisted and asking to go back into the game with an ACL tear. He could with an MCL tear, but usually an MCL tear doesn't require surgery, just time.

The MRI will tell, but with his activity after coming off the field, I think it looks like an MCL or PCL sprain, and he would then be about 50/50 to go for next week.

Didnt get to see game
Just saw replay on Griff and I'm surprised his leg is still attached
No way he plays next week unless he really is Supernan
I'd be pleasantly surprised if he only misses a week,would not be surprised to see him out for yr

Welp, lots of emotions. Just an amazing win. I had given up, I'll admit. Shocked we won that game. If Rg3 is out for an extended period, I think we're in trouble. Not a knock against Kirk, but our whole offense is built around Rg3's speed an ability to buy time. Not sure we can flip right to a pocket passer and be successful. We'll see. NOT HAPPY they let Rg3 back in the game. That thing looked really serious, and as important as this game is, its not more important than the future, so not happy about that.

Otherwise, just awesome. Great feeling, awesome to see the whole team step up like that. Most improbable win in years. Even if we don't end up making the playoffs, this has been an awesome season and great turning of the corner for this franchise. Hail to the Redskins.
