Redskins vs. Rams Gameday Thread

Shanahan says the injury to Carriker "doesn't look good". Right knee injury. MRI tomorrow.

Grant Paulsen said that Shanahan thinks that Carriker may need to get operated on and it doesn't look good.

Jenkins is starting to look like a reach. He's not stout enough but, that can't be the reason he was drafted. Baker if/when healthy may go ahead of him.

Thats a little early, he's coming off a major knee surgery and missed all his rookie year. Let's let him play at least 3 games in his professional career before labeling a reach, or bust.

Forgot bout Baker, that is a positive and he has the body to rotate to a 3-4 DE position.

I think everyone needs to calm down. I'm still good cuz I know the redskins can legitimately win every game this season. I told you all that this will be a real test and that every point that the redskins scored would be well-deserved because they needed to be earned. After the Lions, who are very physical and aggressive in their own right, almost lost to the Rams - I knew that this would be a tough game.

I just hate it though when a team (or anyone) tries to bully or intimidate to get their way - which was what the Rams were trying to do in this game. I want to see how RGIII responds to this in the next game; the Bengals have a physical and aggressive defense too. This really is an opportunity for RGIII to learn and grow-- and we'll be able to see it the next game if he does.

I can't get over the field goal attempt. Cundiff is awful from 50 yards plus, his career long is 62, and Shanahan basically said that he has more faith that Cundiff will hit a 62 yard FG than Griffin will complete a 16 yard pass. Wow. I mean, wow.

Honestly, I was fine with holding out RG3. You don't want him to sit there and hold the entire weight of the game on his shoulders, knowing if he missed the loss would be all on him...

He took responsibility for the loss anyway during the post-game interview. Said he didn't play well enough.

[Dirtbag59]

I want to say this though. Best bad play ever came in the 2nd half when Silverback held onto Quinn for dear life to stop him from getting a clear shot on RG3. Just kind of a weird moment that makes you realize the rest of the team has bought into RG3.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. At first though -- I was like -- what the hell, RGIII needs to be out there and be what everyone is hyping him to be... to be God.

Shanahan is just trying to get a leg up on negotiating Cundiff's next contract.
"Well Billy, Bruce and I have reviewed your contract demands and while we want to resign you we believe your asking price is a bit high. For starters, the St. Louis game where you missed that game tying field goal in the 4th quarter......"

I thought Shanny was incredibly restrained in his critique of the officials.

If he was any less unhinged, he'd be on the verge of a Bobby Knight meltdown.
