Seahawks 24 Skins 14 post game thread

[skinsguy]

Ya know, I was bitterly disappointed yesterday, because I expected the Redskins to win, no matter what. My wife saw how distraught I was after the game, and gave me my birthday present two months early: a Robert Griffin III jersey! I nearly wept like a baby! I really felt bad for this team, because the mentality was to go out there and beat Seattle, skill on skill. I have no doubt that if it was left up to that, a healthy RGIII would have beat the Seahawks soundly.

BUT, as we saw, RGIII wasn't healthy, the Seahawks smelled blood, and their game plan was knock Griffin out of the game, rough up Garcon, play mind games with the 'skins players to knock them off their concentration, and it worked. You can thank the refs for calling such a loose game that it worked in Seattle's favor. But, that style of playing only gets you so far.

A healthy Griffin next year, a healthy Orakpo, a healthy Fred Davis, a healthy Garcon, some upgrades in the secondary....this team is going to be deadly for years to come.

Kory said he regrets trying to play yesterday. I don't think anything's been confirmed on Robert's knee.

Shanahan has a 3 pm p conference this afternoon....I'm sure it will be a .....popular topic

[NC_Skins]

If I'm Snyder, I have Mike Shanahan and Dr. Andrews in my office first thing this morning. I then remove all "health related" playing decisions away from Shanahan and put the onus on my team doctor. Dr. Andrews is being paid by the team to do a job, and it appears to me either he's not doing his job, or Shanahan is overriding it.

To clear this up, and to protect the franchise's most valuable asset, you remove that decision from Mike. This isn't overreacting. I thought about this last night, and wanted to sleep on it before saying this. I woke up feeling the same today as I did last night. Did they not look at RGIII after that roll-out when he hurt himself again? Is our medical team that incompetent or is our coach that stubborn?

Mike appears not competent enough to judge when to pull a player due to health issues, so simply take that away from him and leave the X's and O's.

It's either one of two things. Bad coaching decision or bad medical staff. The only way you find out is remove the choice from the coach and it continues, you know to replace your medical staff.

I hear you! I forgot what it felt like to lose a game. now we have to wait nearly a year before the next meainingful one. sigh.

My retort would be something along the lines - "Well, he's already kicked the Cowboys out of the playoffs and made Tony Romo cry. Anything else is gravy."

If the doctors said that he was physically unable to play, I find it very very unlikely that Shanahan would have ignored that.

Funny you disappear for months then show back up the day after we get knocked out of the playoffs. Why didn't you come back last Monday?

Ngata cheap shot hurt him after he slid.

Do what? Am I missing the internet sarcasm here?

[SFREDSKIN]

Listening to the John Feinstein show this morning , he mentioned the
Team Dr. Over rules the HC on whether an injured should be allowed on the field. If that's the case my apologies to Shanahan. If RGIII suffered and MCL tear, i would still be very concerned since it's the same he tore up before and he's only 22 YO.

You haven't been here since before Turkey Day and now chime in with this $0.02 worth of malarkey?

Spare me.

I have no problem with Ngata's hit, since RG3 was diving forward, not sliding. I do have a problem with Shanny leaving Griffin in when he clearly didn't have his legs under him after aggravating his injury at the end of the 2nd drive. I also hate Kyle's call on that play. 1st and goal at the 5, Morris and the O-line are MAULING the Seahawks D, and you call a bootleg when your QB is less than 100%? Griffin could barely move after that, and though he completed the TD two plays later, even his passing was largely off target the remainder of the game. After the gruesome final play for Griffin, I'm just hoping that he dodged a bullet, but it never should have come to that. Cousins should have been in the game much earlier, but instead Shanny was clearly putting the franchise at risk.
