Just an FYI, games are 4 quarters, not 1. I think in the end, Seattle showed they were the better team, healthy RG3 or not.

I understand that a game is 4 quarters but having a guy out there who was 50% at best didnt help.If RGIII was healthy would we have beaten them? Who knows,but him being hurt definitely affected the raminder of that game.

I think the bolded part is extremely questionable.
I think everyone agrees that Griffin tweaked his knee at the end of the 1st quarter, on our 2nd scoring drive. After that, many of Griffin's throws were less sharp, and the offense ground to a halt.
Our first two drives were
80 yds and 54yds, both ending in TDs.

Our next 6 drives were
13yds, punt,
3yds, long underthrown INT(imo not happening if the knee isn't tweaked earlier),
23yds punt,
4yds punt,
17 yds punt,
-19 yds, Griffin collapsed, and the fumble.

Just as importantly, our first two drives had 11minutes time of possession, the next 6 had a combined 12 minutes.

During those 6 failed drives, the Skins gave up 2 TDs and 2 field goals. I think it's not irrational to think that a healthy Griffin could have led to at least 1 more score, and probably more.

oh well. Let's hope we see some redemption this year.
