5 Points about yesterday's game/this season:

1. I think Griffin should have been pulled at halftime, he was clearly hurt and clearly ineffective. He just couldnt drive his legs into his throws and thats why they kept sailing high.

2. RGIII has a huge ego, and he should, he is a gun slinger, all the great ones want to be in the game and think they can make any play necessary. Coaches/doctors will always have to be in charge of pulling players, players aren't gonna pull themselves.

3. Drafting Kirk Cousins is looking more and more like a great draft pick by the day. We can end all the trade talk, we need to have him on this roster. I have full faith in him that even if RGIII has to miss any time at the beginning of next year that Cousins can step in and lead us to victories.

4. We swept the Cowboys and won the NFC East.

5. Assuming RGIII comes back 100% healthy, even if its a few games into the season when he is cleared, and we have a good of-season this year, next season will be just as fun as this season ended up being and possibly better. And I REALLY HOPE we play Seattle again in the playoffs! They are beginning our white whale lol, we just haven't been able to beat them. But their time is coming. Hail!!!

Agree with everything in this post. I'm going to try to make this my last frustrating post about the game and move on. I wanted to beat Seattle badly. I thought we would beat Seattle and it sure as hell looked like we were on our way to doing exactly that. I think KC has proved his ability and value to this team. Starting in the second quarter I started telling a buddy of mine that RG3 didn't look right at all and KC should be put in the game. Sometime in the 3rd quarter I started yelling that opinion at Shanahan through the T.V. By the 4th quarter I had completely lost it over the fact that if it was completely obvious to me that RG3 was totally ineffective, then why in the hell couldn't Mike see it. Other than convincing my BF's wife that I'm a complete lunatic my rants of course were all for nought. What I'm getting at is this. If KC would have been put in the game and we still loss I would have hated it but.....it would have, been a lot easier to take. You put it up to Griffin being hurt and the second string QB who completed one victory for us and led us to 38 points and a victory in his only start..just didn't get it done but with RG3 hurt it was the best option we had. I can deal with that. But leaving an injured ineffective starter in the game while Captain Kirk sits on the sidelines after the way he's performed this year, well it just leaves you with the feeling we coulda won the game but lost because of, imo, a really bad decision. And that's just a little harder to take. Looking forward to next year and feeling good about being a Redskins fan again. HAIL!
