It is more of the Redskins trying to stop an NFL team that cannot be stopped, other then stopped by the Patriots and it depends how next week’s playoffs go.
as heard on Rush.

Dan Wetzel is just another leftist radical who never played football and cannot comprehend why an injured player wouldn’t insist on being benched, filing workmen’s comp claim and getting on the disability gravy train.
Lies??
Uh, perhaps, refuses to believe he can’t go on.
Therefore claims he can.
It’s a mind thing.
It’s someone known for doing incredible, almost impossible athletic feats. Can’t view himself any other way in this playoff game with everything on the line...
Suffering from Superman syndrome.
Alas, he’s human, not Superman, after all...
Shanahan blew it. I told RedMDer that on the FReepathon thread, that RG3 wasn’t himself after the 14-0 lead. Shanahan should have gone to Cousins right then and there.
Shanahan and everyone RG3 fan had better pray that RG3’s knee will not require surgery or if it does, that he can and will be able to heal completely.
Only a fool screws with the franchise quarterback’s health.
oh brother... what a stupid article... maybe RGIII really believed everything he was saying... put this one on the coach...
Yeah, because this is the first time a coach and QB didn’t disclose an injury for a playoff game.....
Did RG III play defense? If so, that must be how the D let Seattle score so many points.
Bottom line - the ‘skins lost as a team. No excuses.
Skins fans and talk radio, etc., are spending WAAAAAAAY too much time debating RG3 and Shannahan. RG3 does not block. RG3 does not tackle. He does not drop passes which hit him in the hands. He does not take handoffs. He does not rush the quarterback. He does not defend receivers. He does not open holes in the line for his running back.
The skins lost because their 22 guys beat our 22 guys. Over three quarters.
He’s right, RGIII should have been pulled sooner. But color me skeptical whether Washington wins the game. Seattle is on a roll.
Do not agree with Wetzel on this article....but do not understand all the ‘Wetzel is a liberal’ comments.
Wetzel’s ‘Death to the BCS’ really exposes the fraud the college bowl system is. And his book on Jerry Tarkanian is a good read for those who think the NCAA is corrupt....as well as his book on Don Haskins
RGIII was obviously more injured than believed. However, you can bet on it that the same people whining about RG3/Skins were the same ones whining about Jay Cutler pulling himself out of the Bears playoff game 2 years ago
It is the coach's job to evaluate whether his quarterback is fooling himself or not.
Shanahan abdicated his responsibilities.
It was clear by halftime that Griffin was not able to pull it off, and that his best bet was Cousins.
However, Shanahan preferred to almost certainly lose with Griffin rather than probably lose with Cousins, because he was afraid that the loss would be pinned on him for pulling his star quarterback.
That was good politics, until Griffin got even more injured.
Yeah, that awful, terrible, nasty , no-good Griffin...imagine trying to play through pain to help your team. What a despicable example for our youth!! What kind of example does this set for all those kids who have their minds set on being quitters when the going gets tough? (smirk)
Almost a year ago, during the NFC title game, Jay Cutler was roundly criticized for not sacrificing his body, and sitting out part of the game with a sprained knee.
I’m not going to criticize RGIII for giving all he’s got.
Shanahan maybe...but not RGIII. It can’t be ‘wimpy’ to taked yourself out, and also be ‘liar’ to stay in.
The left, and especially leftist reporters sure hate Griffin. I wonder why that is?
Coaches are paid to make tough decisions. Blame old Mikey cause he is a gutless wonder and really dumb to boot
Kirk cousins, with a 14 pt lead, has a whole lot more options to manage the game than kirk cousins, stepping in down by 10. I agree, cousins should have played from 2nd quarter on...
RG3 is no Doug Williams,,, this year
