With a completely healthy RG3, the Redskins would have blown the Seahawks out......

I do not think the Redskins would have blown them out, seeing as Seattle is a second half time and the Redskins defense did not play well that game, but it would have been a closer game. But like a lot of people have already stated, the only way the Redskins beat Seattle is with a 100% healthy RG3.

What? You do realize that Seattle didn't take the lead until there were 7 minutes left in the game?

Redskins defense allowed 200 plus yards on the ground with 6.1 YPC. You don't win many games playing like that, if RG3 was healthy and if we kept running the ball I do think the Redskins would have pulled out the win, but it would have been a 27-24 type of win. Seattle was able to move the ball very well and the Redskins allowed key 3rd down conversions during that game. To say the Redskins would have just won the game is not completely accurate, just like the Atlanta Seattle game, that game came down to a last 30 second drive by the Falcons, but sadly we will never know if the Redskins could have pulled it out.

An effective RG3 certainly would have made a difference. Total yardage stats are often not as critical as they sound. The defense allowed alot of rushing, but held them out of the endzone several times. If our offense keeps them off the field, you have can see where the defense might step up a little more.

That said, if it is close going into the 4th quarter, then yes, it's anybody's game.

That is what I am saying, it seems we think the Redskins would have definitely won the game, I think that game could have gone either way. Even with a healthy RG3.

Don't you think that the offense not being able to get a first down had something to do with that? Can't keep putting your defense out there for 3 straight quarters. I'm not saying we would have won the game w/ RG3 healthy, but our chances would have been increased.

And after the fumble, didn't the defense hold them to a FG when they started at the 5yd line?

It seems to me that the D could have held up it's end of the game. c'est la vie ...
