Seahawks 24 Skins 14 post game thread

punch it in

I want to rewind to14-0. The turning point to me was when we were driving again and it was 3rd and 2. Griff had plenty of room to pick up the two yards. He didnt even really have to run it was like take a step or two and go down. He wound up throwing a bad ball in the dirt and i felt like thats when the air started coming out of the balloon.

Mike Shanahan: We wouldn't risk further injury to RG3 - NFL.com
Shanny isn't the person to blame in this situation

'Nuff blame to go around. It wasn't our best game, and it was one that in hindsight if things were handled differently, yeah we probably could have pulled it off. I don't believe that Shanny would intentionally risk the future of the club or Robert by keeping him out there though. The thought process was probably as such that he believed Robert gave the team the best chance to win. Maybe Cousins comes in and leads the team to victory...maybe he comes in and throws two INTs and loses the game...who knows. I do wish they hadn't abandoned the running game though, or maybe it was just me...but it seemed like Morris didn't get many touches after the first quarter. It felt at times that Kyle was outsmarting himself out there.

Can't wait until next year

RG III should have come out of the game - NFC East Blog - ESPN


Dan Graziano does some good work for ESPN, and he hit another home run with this blog.

I blame Montgomery for the horrible snaps! Seriously though, what was up with him? Kerrigan looked confused and slow all game, but maybe bad ankle? No pass rush from front four in critical 3rd downs. Bs interference call on hall. Fumble into a 20 yard gain? Come on. Abandoned the run. Too many blunders. Just hope rg is ok. Even if it is acl, look at Petersen.

great season NFC EAST CHAMPS

punch it in

Yeah. Its a head scratcher for sure. The offense before and after that play where Griff aggravated it was night and day. Like he says maybe KC doesnt win but if he had led us to even a fg over the final three quarters it was more than what we got.
No choice but to chalk it up as a bad day at the office. The important thing now is # 10 gets ultra healthy and we sure up some holes and get out injured players back. If we go into next season with all healthy and a couple of upgrades than nobody is beating us.

Good season. Robert is going to get healthy for next season and that is all that matters. What's done is done and people can bitch about the decisions made on the field today all they want, but this was one hell of a run.

Redskins gonna get better.

Ummmm. The HC has the final say for the team on gamedays. You play. You don't play etc. etc. This is also on Shanahan because he clearly saw that his player was hurt and just because he wanted to play, doesn't mean you play him. Thats where your coaching comes in and you use your own judgement, not listen to your crippled QB. Of course he wants to play, RG3 has heart, but there comes a point--or a line--where you say Ok if he clearly doesn't look good and is in clear pain, yet wants to play, maybe he's not the best option and I shouldn't risk my future with him.

You are right but it is not simple as it looked like. Shanny obviously contemplated the idea of pulling Griffin out of the game but Griffin convinced him not to. Based on this move, it seem like Griffin has earned Shanny's trust before this game and Shanny decided to bank on it. People always want to blame someone and Shanny is the easiest target to blame it on. Perhaps you guys should blame it on Montgomery for snapping the ball low to the point where Griffin could not pick it up and aggravated the injury? Or even blame it on Griffin for not swallow his pride and decide to step down? There were several factors that collided together to this point, there is no simple answer.

This situation is something that I'm not upset about. I thought we should have played Cousins in 2nd half, but I am not upset at Shanny for not making the move. Shanny did what he believed was right and I'm sticking with him. I love coaches who does what he/she believes is right and not give in to outsiders' wishes.
