PlayAction Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 RGIII was obviously subpar after the 2nd TD throw. Leaving him in series after series when his throws were off and he was unable to run cost the Skins the game. Hopefully, RGIII will heal during the offseason. I think the Skins could have had a shot at winning without RGIII if Shanahan had let Cousins in early when the Skins could still run the ball. PO'ed at the coach.

daNattyFatty Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 This loss is squarely on the shoulders of Shanahan. It was wildly irresponsible to leave RG3 in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 This should be stickied. He needs to take his virtual lumps for the worst coaching decision of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTTRDynasty Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Horrible decision not to take him out. Shows no thought towards the future and shows no faith in Kirk. Disgusting. Well... on to the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJD2 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Robert didn't even look like he was running at 50% after he reinjured it. How could Shanahan not see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooters Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 What a shame. We can blame Shanahan for this loss completely for being a damn moron. Two quarters too late for Cousins. Thanks Shanahan!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 If I were Dan Snyder, I'd have a very strong talk with Shanahan. Considering this and the report regarding Dr. Andrews, Shanahan doesn't seem to care enough about protecting the Redskins most valuable asset in many years.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Beyond ridiculous. Could all of been so different if it wasn't for the HC's stubbornness. Captain Kirk at half time and we have a great shot at being in Atlanta. Utterly ridiculous. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2v2nv Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Not only that but we threw the ball way more than we did last week. It just put him in a ton of danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Robert didn't even look like he was running at 50% after he reinjured it. How could Shanahan not see that. That's what I'm saying. When he limped to a first down, he should have been taken out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar78 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Basically all of you are saying that RG3 is worthless if he can't run. His rep is that he's a passing QB that is capable of running, as opposed to a guy like Vick. No it wasn't pretty, but where's the Willis Reed vibe? A couple of catches here in there and better field position, a seahawk lineman tackling Morris with his ass and this game could be different.

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Let the blame game begin. We got beat by a good team. Shanny thought RG3 gave us the best chance to win. Deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I literally said this to my friend. To leave him in was a stupid and irresponsible decision. And Kyle should've recognized he was 50% anyway and pounded the ball with Alfred. We were up 14-13 and abandoned the run game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmzznnxx Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Everyone saw he couldn't run, he could barely make it to the sidelines. He also couldn't pass, he was throwing either short or sailing it over open guys. So why is he in there? Sure, we love RGIII, but you have to win it. We're not even in the playoffs if Cousins wasn't so good for us this year, and yet we completely shy away from him when we need him most. And I'm not comforted for the future knowing that if our star QB is hurt and can't play well, we can't rely on a reliable backup because he'll come in when the game's already lost. Defense played a hell of a game today, props to them after a tough opening to the season for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckus Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 And it begins. Just thinking of what is going to happen on here has be so depressed. This is going to be an UGLY off-season on ES after an amazingly awesome season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabsuz Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 We lost the second RG3 got reinjured. Kirk would have gotten eaten alive by this defense. In hindsight it was irresponsible to keep RG3 in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGIII could barely walk, it was leaving him susceptible to serious injury. "Deal with it." Or do you not mind having the franchise hobble out against the #1 defense in the NFL? Kirk should've been in the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffmark1 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 First it was a great season and im proud of the skins but it was a huge mistake to not play cousins earlier. Hes a player too and we should have protected rg3 I do not think the ospreys are that good we would have beat them with a healthy rg3 or cousins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the burgundy and gold Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Agreed, just doesn't make sense. The offense looked like **** the entire game minus the first quarter. Major props to the defense for keeping it this close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jservs7 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 And it begins. So depressed.This is going to be an UGLY off-season after an amazingly awesome season. If RG3 clears to be 100% for the start of next season, I totally disagree. I think things will be looking up for us. Just a terrible way to end our season. However, I do agree that RG3 should have been taken out after he got injured again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 He should be fired on the spot. I wouldn't let him leave FedEx Field. Gross and utter negligence. He gets paid $7 Million to make these decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a knee injury, did you see how much that affected the passing game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
