Jacoah Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Every time I watch RGIII perform, it feels like a win. He's electrifying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 BOO THIS MAN!! Haha Griff will be fine, and I trust the coaching staff to put him in the best position to succeed. I am more worried about the defense right now than I am about RGIII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedBNG Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I don't know, I thought there was more 'RGIII hype' for the Cowboys game... and look what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToHail Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Crazy, no. I think you're just a product of following this team. The good news: things are changing. RG3 rises to the occasion. Now if the defense could follow suit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek1973 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 We as fans are hyping this. RGIII is not the type of QB that buys into this hype, he has not bought into it all year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Jam Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 After The Swinging Gate and the Monday Night Massacre, I can understand your worries. However, I think those days are behind us. Have faith brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirtyfive2seven Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 If you mean the team losing I agree. It will be a let down and the 'fans' in here will go nuts. Multiple people will be banned for a week for starting threads that call for firing shannahan etc etc. It's the same old. I think that there is a really good chance that the giants win because they too have been playing very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saqs Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 We are 11 games in and the kid has yet to have a bad game. Even his worst game has been a decent performance. This late in the season, it's hard to imagine him having a flat out terrible, multi pic game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabsuz Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Griffin has elevated his game on big stages everytime he has come up to bat this season, even if we lose I doubt the reason would be Griffin. This game is probably the most important we have had since 2007 or 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFLSkins Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 The only let down would be if the team collectively lays an egg. This game is not too big for RGIII, and I think he has the team ready for it. WE as fans are used to having the keystone cop as a QB, having James Bond takes some time to get used to.

Agreed - on paper, the Giants are head and shoulders better than the Skins, but with RG3 one can't help but think we've got a good shot. Losing would stink, but its not the end of the world.

Bang Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'm not really worried about a letdown.. i somewhat expect it.. he's a rookie, and he'll have his lumps this year and next. My main hope is that we do not treat him as the press has treated Cam Newton in his soph slump. Granted he wasn't helping with his mopey attitude, but the way the press turned on him was ugly. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'm not worried about the hype as much as I am this being the first team to get a second shot at RG3. The giants will be adjusting to what he was able to do to their personnel the first time the two teams met. I have no doubt RG3 is every bit as good a QB as we hoped he would be, in fact I think few considered the season he's had possible for a rookie. He is however a rookie and the Giants defensive line looked like it was in late season form, meaning impossible to block, against the Packers. Having said that I think RG3 is up to the challenge. He's elevated his game lately and the Giants may not be ready for what's waiting for them on Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Griffin has far exceeded anything and everything that I thought he'd be capable of (for this season at least). THe roles for both sides of the ball have been completely reversed from what I expected heading into the season. And the offense has continued to evolve, and he's gotten better. Even if he struggles in this game, and we are pretty much knocked out of the playoff hunt, I know that he will strive to get better for the rest of the season, and for next season, because that's the kind of competitor that he is. He'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_89 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'm not worried about RG3 at all, he's surpassed my expectations anything he does from this point on is icing. I believe in this team,especially after coming of their bye and winning back to back division games. That's not to say they will win the remaining games,but for the first time in 4 years December football is meaningful. I expect for everyone to give it their all.

Duckus Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I could see us having a let down game on MNF and losing. The difference is that in he past I was sure it would happen. We always seemed to embarrass ourselves in big moments. I had so little confidence that we had any chance to win. I don't feel that anymore. I feel we have a chance every single week. We might lose, but we wont embarrass ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Caretaker Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Griffin came into Washington with more hype and expectations then anyone in recent memory. The weight of 20 years of dread falling on his shoulders, the weight of the most contentious and powerful city in the world, the weight of a ruthless media, the weight of the king's ransom that was traded away to draft him, and the weight of the ghosts of Quarterbacks past. Nothing is too much for him to handle. He has done nothing but be great, week in and week out. When he receives hype, he increases it exponentially with his next performance. Voted a team captain after giving a rousing speech during the bye week to his teammates, considered for MVP talks, some are calling him the Greatest rookie QB of all time, and he continues to respond to the expectations and exceeds them. If only he could play defense. Ignorant observers will compare him to Vick or Newton, but he has something that none of these QBs can ever dream of having, a cerebral presence. His mind is what allows him to do all these things, the rest are just supporting cast members. I understand the fright in trusting this team to do anything, but don't distrust RGIII. The giants are the first team to play him twice, it is also the first defense that RGIII gets to see twice. Advantage: Griffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 No Pressure No Diamonds. RG3 is on a mission to be the best player ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeDinNYC Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 we will win this game... we've dominated the giants the last 3 games and will take this win... RG3 only gets better under pressure and the rest of the team sees that... he elevates everyone's play; even the defense... what we need is great play calling and to get an early lead to demoralize new york. ---------- Post added November-30th-2012 at 06:45 PM ---------- No Pressure No Diamonds. RG3 is on a mission to be the best player ever. i really think this is true... and there are indications he can do it.---------- Post added November-30th-2012 at 06:47 PM ---------- No Pressure No Diamonds.

Monkfan63 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I feel you. And I expect the skins to lose, but not because of RGIII, and not because of any let down. I dont expect the Redskins to muster any pass rush. Which could be huge problems for what passes as the Skins defensive bacfield. Eli could pass for 400 yards +. But I didnt think they would make the playoffs this year anyway, so bar is low. As long as this team keeps getting better I will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJValleySkinz Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 If a 5-6 team has a let down against a division rival defending superbowl champion at home on MNF the entire coacin staff should be fired before they even get to the lockeroom.
