It doesn't matter -- the mistake was RGIII's and his alone. If he thought it was 4th down and it was 3rd down and thus forced it, that's on him. If he just forced it even appreciating it was 3rd down, that is also on him. He says he was worried about taking a sack -- fair point, but then throw the ball away and make sure you get to 4th down. If it was a bad attempt at throwing it away, again, on him.

Having said all of this, RGIII was strong in the 4th quarter leading the team to two TDs and almost a third. That came after a pretty rotten 3 quarters beforehand. It is what we have seen this season -- some great stuff and some poor decisions and execution. But I think this is a reflection of coming back from injury, lack of talent around him, some bad coaching and playcalling, and -- yes -- some shaky play from RGIII too.
