Can we talk about this guy for a second? Setting league and franchise records week to week, not only for rookies but for all quarterbacks and now even running backs! Going into the season I didn't have my hopes too high just because he was a rookie and I had questions about the offensive line, but through 6 games I am very VERY impressed and 100% excited about this dudes potential. I can't WAIT to see what he does on the field and I honestly can't recall being able to say that about any player except for maybe Sean Taylor or Darrell Green... Would love to go into NYC and take a win from them this weekend! Get the season started off right in the division!
-
Agreed. The kid is amazing. Seems everyone is gunning for him so I really hope he does not get more concussions and/or injured.
-
I'm a Ravens fan who likes to root for all the local teams, and I'm super impressed by him. He is hardcore. Happy for my Redskin fan friends that the team is looking up!
-
If the dude is so good why are the Shanahans trying to kill him?
-
Hey ladies, what are you two doing after the game?

I can always tell whether the Redskins won or not because when they do, their players are always wearing their jerseys to work on the Monday morning train. We used to do that in high school, nice to see the tradition carries on all the way through to the pros.
-

Seems to be the only way they can move the ball is the triple option. It's a real shame that Pierre is still out, but why did we bring in Josh Morgan if we aren't going to utilize him? What is this formation with Brandon Banks in the backfield?
Griff seemed to do a pretty good job of getting out of bounds and getting rid of the ball when he had too. I believe he has a QB rating at 100.3 right now as well.... We'll see how he fares against the division!

i've never known a dj . . . who knew so much about sports.

Rookie of the month in September, 3rd time being rookie of the week through 6 weeks of play. Goodness!
-
At the first Walkmen show at the 9:30, Hamilton Leithauser gazed out into the audience and asked "Did RGIII make it in ok?"
-
I went to see the GZA last night at Howard and chants of "RG3" broke out randomly during the opening act. Pretty awesome.
-
Did you see Killer Mike at that show? If so how was he?
-
There's a football player called "Killer Mike"? That's awesome.

-
Did you see Killer Mike at that show? If so how was he?
I was actually pretty impressed, definitely gonna look up his stuff. Unfortunately I didn't know anything about him before the show. He really had the crowd rockin by the end of his set. He got a little political, I thought it was cool, but some people didn't.
-
Well. For the first time in maybe a decade + i'm excited about the skins. The nats getting knocked out and the prospect of no hockey season could have something to do with that.
But RGIII sure seems like the complete package. Exceeding my expectations x1000.
-
While I like RG3, I think it's a little prmature to crown him. I mean, you could hav written this same post about Cam Newton last year. Best of luck to Mr. Griffin, but I will wait until he performs well in multiple seasons before I jump on the bandwagon.
-
Through 6 games he's the highest rated QB in the league and has the highest completion percentage. He's thrown 2 INTs all season, leads all QBs in rushing yards, is in the top 5 in scoring TDs, and is part of the 2nd best rushing attack in the league and tied for the highest scoring team in the league. This is a rookie and he exudes confidence and a calm, cool demeanor. Rex Grossman did not show me that, even when he was with the Bears, even when he won a Super Bowl. Todd Collins didn't show me that, neither did Jason Campbell, Patrick Ramsey, Danny Wuerfel, Tony Banks, Jeff George, or the million other QBs we've had to suffer through.
I get that it's 6 weeks in, but this is arguably the best 6 weeks of any Redskins quarterback play in the past decade..... You may be able to point to Mark Brunell, but he was a grizzled vet by the time he came here. I wasn't excited at the start of the season and I'm sure he will still go through some growing pains, but to not be excited YET is weird and maybe a little too pessimistic.
-
What is their won/lost record?
-
Unfortunately, 3-3. You are what your record is, but did lose all 3 of those games by 1 score or less. So they were in all of them and I can confidently attribute that to Griffin.
-
What a soul crushing loss. We NEED something in our secondary. Unbelievable that was lost Fred Davis for the year AND London Fletcher goes down? Ugh. Injuries are really bumming me out. Shows the team has some insane resiliency....
-
First half was a dud, but the second half was incredible. Whoever committed the leg whip penalty needs to be released immediately.
-
That was such an insane momentum shift
EDIT: Pretty funny to hear Justin Tuck talking about RG3 after the game...
?I?m pretty mad at the football gods for putting that guy in the NFC East so we have to face him twice a year,?? said defensive end Justin Tuck, who got his first sack of the season against Griffin in the second quarter.
?He takes away from your enthusiasm for the game when you play a play perfectly and he still has the 4.3 speed to outrun guys and make plays. If I was going to run an offense and you asked me if I wanted Vick, Cam or RGIII, I?d take that guy hands down.??

That was such an insane momentum shift
If the leg whip never happens, they win the game.
-
I don't know, they were moving the ball past mid field with 46 seconds left and 1 timeout and Santana fumbles a ball he never usually fumbles.... I'm not blaming him, but I still had confidence in them moving the ball down for one final shot. That 4th and 10 was something you'll see in highlight reel for years. I just WISH we had 1 fucking safety in the back. Or even a shut down corner. Can't stand seeing Dhall chase people from behind.
-

Was watching but didn't get a close look at the replay of this penalty. Good call or bad call?
-
He didn't actually TOUCH anyone, which is a weird penalty to me, it looks like he throws his leg/legs up? He didn't touch anyone, but it's still illegal because I guess the purpose is to have someone touch him.... The 1 replay I saw during the game was kind of a zoomed in look, but I had honestly never heard that penalty be called before...

Had a chance to watch him for an entire game today and wasn't that impressed, though I will admit that it was a small sample.
-
I haven't seen that many dropped balls since....
-

Kind of an unfair game for him, had like 10 or 11 dropped passes? He's hitting receivers right in the numbers and they're all dropping the balls. Finally the rest of the team plays like the old Redskins and Bobby Griff can't pull them out of it. Hopefully we can bounce back against a god awful Panthers team.
-
this year's skins beginning to look like every year's skins..
-
I was thinking that as well, but that's what happens when your free agents don't pan out and both sides of the ball are ravished by injuries and there's no depth due to a salary cap fine from the league.
-
What's their record now?
-
they are now 3-6. Last place.
-
About time for the bye week to arrive, perfect opportunity to euthanize this shit franchise.
Where's Jack Kevorkian when you need him?
-
Sounds like the bandwagon is in need of repair.
-
as the redskins keep losing the tickets for the ravens game at fed ex keep going down. hopefully the losses continue and i can get some good tickets pretty cheap.

^^^ burn
Yesterday was as demoralizing as it could get. Redskins nightmares of the best began creeping up, red zone inefficiency, showing an insane lack of discipline with 13 fucking penalties, and of course the offensive line just completely breaking down. How exactly do you get 2 fucking touchdowns negated by penalties. HOW.
It's going to be a long bye week.
-
what is Shanahan's security at this point? If Skins have a losing season does he come back? What are people's thoughts?
-
I think he's secure because Bobby Griff IS still a rookie. You can't really expect him to turn it around in 1 year with a phenom at the helm and certainly not with all of the injuries just piling up. If he had his starting safeties, his leading pass rusher, his starting wide receiver, and his starting tight end and they were looking this fucking god damn awful, maybe he'd be on the hot seat. I think it's reckless to drop Shanny after this year and bring in a whole new system.
What I have liked it the way Kyle has been able to move the ball with RG3 and the sub par offense, but what I haven't liked is the opposite side of the ball. Can Jim Haslett call ONE fucking decent defensive scheme? I get that the line and the secondary are banged up, but it gets fucking absurd that we're almost guaranteed to see multiple passing plays break for 20+ yards ESPECIALLY on crucial downs. We might as well go for it on 4th downs from here on out because no matter where on the field the other team is they always move the fucking ball on us.
-
Mike Shanahan and his ball-less son have the worst record in franchise history through the first 2.5 seasons. What on earth does this guy have to do to get fired?
-
Since we all know the insane stats of the past 2 weeks [561 yards, 8 touchdowns, 146.1 Qb rating] I thought it'd be nice to point out RG3 now has the highest selling jersey in the league too!
http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/breaking/chi-washington-redskins-news-robert-griffin-iii-has-topselling-jersey-20121129,0,7214213.story
I know I'll be getting one and both of my little sisters have ones of their Christmas list as well.
Had the absolute PLEASURE of going to see the Skins decimate the shit sipping Eagles a couple weeks back AND I have tickets to freeze my ass off on Monday night as well! I have confidence that we can beat the Giants, hopefully we spank them at home and bring some semblance of a home field advantage to FedEx going into the Ravens game because I can see that being nasty with Baltimore fans coming down and flooding OUR stadium. No matter how much I hate FedEx Field, it is still, unfortunately, home.
EDIT: Incredible article from ESPN NY:
http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/story/_/id/8692611/new-york-giants-busy-thinking-robert-griffin-iii
It's essentially the Giants defensive line shitting their pants/praising RG3 and his abilities. These guys are our rivals? Lol. I sincerely hope we destroy them under the national spotlight.
-
Your sincerity is noted and much appreciated.
-
I couldn't be more serious about how badly I want to destroy them. I'm trying and I just cannot.
-
Seeing this guy in person 2 times in 3 weeks has really been an early Christmas present. He's SO effing fast.
-
Good to see RGIII Is pulling the Jesus card...

A LOT of football players that thank god and jesus and all kinds of other religious stuff on Twitter. Not a big deal to me. A way cooler story is Daniel Snyder being overheard in the locker room saying "I hate those motherfuckers" - referring to the Giants. Duh.

a lot of football players are idiots... personally I find it offensive.. it offends my intelligence to have people suggest that god is up there blessing certain players/teams or something.. how absolutely stupid. a cool player would of course never resort to this Jesus baloney.. I can't recall Joe Montana ever going "I want to thank the Lord for my 4 TDs and comeback drive.."
if that Snyder story is a "cool" story please don't share any more.
I love the way DC is celebrating a 6-6 team as if they won the Super Bowl.. typical of the loser mentality that long ago took hold.

Fortunately for you, this is the ONLY cool Snyder story in, what, 15 years now?
DC is celebrating a young quarterback breathing life into a franchise that 17 days ago was buried by everyone and even had a coach "give up" on the season. A rookie who is shattering franchise and league records. God forbid Redskins fans and the city have something to cheer about. I guess we SHOULD be rooting for the 1-13 Wizards of the season-less Capitals.
Your negativity is what's wrong with this city, root for the team or don't, but don't gloat and if you are don't be offended when I tell you to suck my whole dick.
If RG3 keeps on not turning the ball over, winning games, and have defenses on their heels, he can praise the devil openly and I won't give a shit.

So it's terrible for a man to thank the lord after performing well in a multi-million dollar game in front of millions of people but it's okay to thank the lord for making this greasy dead-animal cheeseburger dinner that I'm just going to poop out in a couple hours?
Where are your priorities?
-
I've lived in this town for 19 years now. It is not "negative" to say that RGIII has not yet rewritten the rules of how Football is played (as they were saying on a local news channel last week).. or that winning a game or two does not make you the next Hall of Famer.
They are 6-6 and just won a game by ONE point but the typically very immature Skin fans want to believe they've won the Super Bowl already or something! How many seasons in the past 10 years did the Skins start off well and we were told they were great only for them to nosedive and miss the playoffs..
You want to believe fine..good for you. Have fun with it.. hope you're right. But there ain't any facts backing you up.. just the usual DC hype machine. We'll know what is what at the end of the season.

I read the local and national sports media. I've yet to hear one person prognosticate even a playoff appearance for this team.
Sure, people are hyped on RGIII, but that's because the guy is fucking great. Anyone watching can very easily see that. You don't even need to know anything about football to see how good he is.
So in short, where the fuck are you getting this shit about the hall of fame, super bowls, etc. You must read different papers than me. If anything, skins fans fully expect the wheels to fall off this thing at any second and are just elated when they don't.

6-6 after being 3-6 and going on a 3 game trip of the NFC East foes. Now they're 3-1 in the division and 6-1 in the conference. This same Giants team JUST last week shoved the Packers dicks up their own asses. The same Giants team that put up 38 on the Packers and held that prolific offense to just 10 points and hit Aaron Rodgers 8 fucking times for sacks. No one is saying they are GOING to the playoffs, but they are only 1 game back in the division and in a 4 way tie with teams that they have tie breakers over.... and better conference records than. Have you even LOOKED at the other teams schedules?
I'm not predicting a playoff run, or even that we'll finish the season with a winning record, but right now, the way they've won games but putting up points or holding back that insane offense from New York, I'm nothing short of impressed by the....... heart this team has showed.
13 weeks into the season and RG3 was nominated to be the Captain of the team by his own peers.... Most of who are all older than him...

I'm surprised they consider Aderrall a "performance enhancing drug". I hate when this shit happens. Trent Williams and Fred Davis pissed me off last year and this also upsets me. Cedric isn't the best on the field, but losing him doesn't help our already poor secondary. Argh!

It's an amphetamine. If that can't be classified as performance enhancing I'm not sure what can. Speed was the original performance enhancer.

Sorry to burst your bubble but nobody gives a fuck about the NBA until it's the playoffs, which are actually quite popular particularly as they progress and we get closer and closer to knowing which NBA team will be crowned as world champions, which is quite the misnomer given that there's only one team outside the United States but Commissioner David Stern is working on broadening the NBA's appeal in such places as Mexico and, well I guess just Mexico but I'm sure he's looking closely at some other countries as well.
Corrected.

In what league is 7-6 better than 9-4?

So when is the Ageless Wonder coming back to save your defense. And has anyone seen Ed Reed lately?
-
About time for the bye week to arrive, perfect opportunity to euthanize this shit franchise.
Where's Jack Kevorkian when you need him?
Wow. Are you the same guy?

Not sure why this is directed at me - I'm certainly not a Ravens fan.
I was just pointing out that this euphoria is short lived.

I am. I was certainly wrong. I'm sure, though, I wasn't the only one. Hell the fucking coach wrote them off after the Carolina game.
-
The important thing is that everybody had fun.
-
Such a bitter sweet victory. Word around the rumor mill is that Griff will sit out this weekend and Kirk will start. I guess it couldn't have come against a better team. Still worried about the Browns and our defense is still in shambles and have yet to play a complete game. Maybe this is the weekend when they can do it against a Browns offense that is hit or miss...
4 down, 3 more to go!
-
The Brownies are playing well too. I think they win this one at home.
-
Yeah, going into the dog pound with that defense starting to kick up and without Griff in the line-up... I dunno, we'll see exactly what Alf is made of without the threat of RG3 in the backfield as well. They've found ways to win 4 very crazy games in a row. We'll see how much character and how much faith they have in KC1 :p
-
The Brownies are playing well too. I think they win this one at home.
Skins +7 is a great bet at this point.

Reports coming in that it's looking like RG3 will play........
I hope so. I hope he's fine. Reports from practice say he looks like normal while running at full speed and cutting in and out of some practice runs.

WOW, Rob parker on ESPN asks is "RG3 one of us? Is he down for the cause? He has a white fiancee."

What does this have to do with the topic?
Oh yeah. And there's a team that's in the playoffs right now and it's not Griffin's.
-
Ravens are a travesty. They're trending their season like the Orioles of old... or of last year I guess...
I loved hearing all the people who despise the Redskins say "all you have is RG3" and in the 2nd half, it looked like the team worked pretty well without RG3 and without that pistol set... The first time they used it all day was in the 4th quarter.
RG3 isn't on defense, the secondary remains atrocious, but you can't help but be impressed by the defenses adjustments during this win streak.
I was impressed and confused by how well the Browns stopped the run, but bit so hard on the play action. I guess that's the point and the threat of having a #1 rushing attack. #1 in the NFC East, #4 seed in the playoffs, and we're going into week 16, just like everyone predicted.
-
RG3 isn't on defense, the secondary remains atrocious, but you can't help but be impressed by the defenses adjustments during this win streak.
The defense has been incredible over the last few weeks and IMO is the reason for the team's turnaround. Scoring 37 points a game helps, too.
-
The secondary still gets gashed, I'll give them that their half time adjustments over the past 3 games have been incredible. Limiting Trent Richardson to under 40 yards is incredible. I also don't care what team you hold under 300 yards total offense, but I'll take that considering we were allowing over 400 just a couple weeks ago.
We'll see.... Everyone seems to have an eerie focus.... even though we remain one of the most penalized teams..... Anyone think that for 2 weeks in a row we've had insane bullshit calls on us? I feel like whenever we're supposed to get a make up call it's ANOTHER bullshit call.
The league wants the Cowboys in over us. I CAN FEEL IT. ;)
-
Week 17, playing for the division and a playoff berth. Who called this?
Worried about Griff's mobility, Dallas' D line is dilapitated and their defense overall hasn't shown much improvement since Thanksgiving, unlike ours. That being said, still not comfortable with our defense against whatever the hell gets into the Cowboys towards the end of games in which they're behind. I'd rather play ahead than play from behind, but I have a feeling maybe the tables will be reversed on us this week.... Still have confidence our offense can torch them all day, just worried about our defense, again.

Ok, so here's a question. Is there a tv at the club to watch the game before and in between sets of the Truckers Sunday night? Epic scheduling conundrum.

Go have a Guinness and watch it at Duffy's. I'll take your place closer to the stage.

?When I first met him, we were passing on the stairs [at Redskins Park], and he stopped me and said, ?I?m Robert Griffin III. I?m the quarterback they drafted in the first round,? ? recalled fullback Darrel Young. ?I just looked at him and thought, ?Yep, we?re going to be just fine here. This kid is as humble as they come.??

Who knows, maybe we'll be obliterated by the soaring Seahawks.
I think it should be a slugging match, will be interesting to see the #1 defense going against our offense and rushing attack. I think a huge factor is us playing at home, Seahawks were undefeated at home this year. Can't wait to see what Haslett draws up to slow down Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch.

Bob vs Russ, according to the ESPN NFC West blog
http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcwest/post/_/id/87496/a-much-closer-look-at-russell-wilson-rg-iii
I guess comparing both quarterbacks from week 8-17 is way more fair because Griff missed 1 game and has played with a limiting knee brace in the last 2.
But, nowhere in the article is that mentioned.
I'm sick of the comparisons. I just want to be at the game watching the Skins decimate the team and silencing all the naysayers.

Dr. James Andrews:
"I'm the one that shut him down that day, finally," Andrews told USA Today. "I've been a nervous wreck letting him come back as quick as he has. He's doing a lot better this week, but he's still recovering and I'm holding my breath because of it.
"He passed all the tests and all the functional things we do, but it's been a trying moment for me, to be honest with you."
Andrews was on the field that day and there is a dispute as to how the injury was originally handled. Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Andrews cleared RG3 to return. Andrews said that didn't happen. Griffin went back in for four plays before shutting it down.
"He didn't even let us look at him," Andrews said. "He came off the field, walked through the sidelines, circled back through the players, and took off back to the field. It wasn't our opinion.
"We didn't even get to touch him or talk to him. Scared the hell out of me."

i don't know much about football . . . except i love watching it, and i do love the redskins because i grew up in most of virginia and lived near the springfield mall when they won the big one against the dolphins. but i always thought they were a cursed team, whether it is the name or whatever. i think that rg3 will be the next cursed player where an injury will sideline and eventually be the end of a career.

Went to the game, the stadium was ROCKING. First time I've EVER heard FedEx like that. I was up in a suite and the floor was shaking like there was an earthquake. I think just about every seat was full by the time kickoff came around.
Incredibly bittersweet way to end the season and on top of that, it will be tainted by Shannahans dishonesty. Ive heard rumors of a torn meniscus or a torn MCL. Christian Ponder had swelling in his elbow and he was benched, granted I think he's fucking terrible and the Vikes would had still had their peckers smashed. Even stilll, I would have liked to see someone stop Robert from going back into the game. I know the doctor is paid by the team, but he can put his foot down like he said he did a couple weeks back. It's a shame to have a magical run end the way it did and with all the talk of it being a "new regime" you can't help but think "same old...."

Why the fuck is Snyder paying him to be on the sideline if he's not even going to be consulted? Bob to the Third Power blows him off after the Baltimore game, Shanahan Sr lies to everyone about it and on Sunday when Bob went into the shed, Andrews isn't even consulted during this? What is the fucking point?
Again, Shanahan Senior's own ego gets the best of him. FUCK!

Don't worry, Dr Andrews won't be on the sidelines next season after this, that's for sure.
Because if there's one thing you don't want, it's the best orthopedic surgeon in the world on your sideline with a rookie who's got a banged up knee. Ridiculous.
-
Wellp, Shannahan didn't bring him in, so I won't be surprised if that did happen.
We'll find out the severity of what's really going on with Bob's knee today. Shannahan's press conference is at 3. The entire city can't wait to hear this shit.
-
preliminary rumor is ACL/PCL.
-
3-6 month recovery time putting us right back in the health situation for him starting camp next year. No top draft pick, less money for free agency. How are gonna protect this kid.

Atomicfront stop being a diapered turd who never watches sports because he is a pansy. No one says "Robert Griffin", they say "Robert Griffin the Third", which is to say the 6-syllable Ro-Bert-Gri-Ffin-The-Third.
If we're talking nicknames, call him "RG3" all day like people say AP, Shaq, LT, etc.

What about when they said Roy Helu Jr?
Listening to a physical therapist call into The Fan this morning, if it is a partial tear the worst case scenario is that he has delayed rehab and that he won't be up and running until November, worst case! I guess we'll find out later today for sure...

Actually there is a difference between II and Jr. If his grandfather was RG Sr, his dad would have been Jr. If his GREAT gradfather was the original RG, his dad would have been II. Its Jr, Sr if there is no generation skipped but it is II if they skip a generation, technically speaking of course. Now you know!

Isn't a Jr. if they have different middle names? Or is the II if they have the same middle names? Or does it just skip the Jr and the 3rd is the II and now RG3 is actually Robert Griffin 4...?

I cannot believe Shanahan will get away with this.... EVERYONE knew that he was in bad shape... and this was not the first but SECOND game that he put him back in/let him stay in when it was clear he should have been pulled.

Injuries, and playing through them, are part of football. Bob running off the field and running through the players and avoiding Coach and the medical staff and going back out is irresponsible but it's also a double edged sword. Last year it was the complete opposite and everyone calling Jay Cutler a coward for coming out of the game. They ran 6 plays after the 2nd touchdown, going into the half everyone thought he was OK and the staff cleared him to go back in. If the medical staff tells the coach he's good to go, is the coach supposed to question that? He's not a part of the medical staff for a reason.

The Redskins front office LOVE RObert Griffin III, do you REALLY think they would LIE about clearing him and throwing him to the wolves like that? I think it's TOTALLY ignorant to think that this Wild Card win was more important than his health and his future with the franchise. If you REALLY don't trust the medical staff "clearing" him, that's fine, but I think it's ridiculous. Everything they gave up to bring this kid here. Andrews says he didn't clear him to come back, because he never checked on him, neither did Shannahan. He ran by the players on the sideline and ran back out onto the field.
If your star quarterback says to you "I'm not injured, but I am hurting and I know I can go back in and win" then you do it. MOST especially after your medical staff cleared him. THAT's what happened on Sundaay. If the staff didn't clear him, he would have stayed on the sideline and we'd be bitching about losing with Kirk Cousins in.

playing through certain types of injuries is part of it.. this was different
you can't say playing through injuries means you always choose to do that
as for the medical staff i am very skeptical of what this "cleared" biz is about.. did you see what dr andrews said? he said he never even looked at him at the first game!
The Redskins front office LOVE RObert Griffin III, do you REALLY think they would LIE about clearing him and throwing him to the wolves like that? I think it's TOTALLY ignorant to think that this Wild Card win was more important than his health and his future with the franchise. If you REALLY don't trust the medical staff "clearing" him, that's fine, but I think it's ridiculous. Everything they gave up to bring this kid here. Andrews says he didn't clear him to come back, because he never checked on him, neither did Shannahan. He ran by the players on the sideline and ran back out onto the field.
If your star quarterback says to you "I'm not injured, but I am hurting and I know I can go back in and win" then you do it. MOST especially after your medical staff cleared him. THAT's what happened on Sundaay. If the staff didn't clear him, he would have stayed on the sideline and we'd be bitching about losing with Kirk Cousins in.
It sounds like your mind is made up.
Let us agree to disagree on this point and agree that ultimately it was a mistake that may cost him his career and the franchise any hopes of becoming a winner.
-
I just refuse to believe that they would risk his health and his future for this win. The medical staff cleared him, after the Ravens game and the Eagles and the Cowboys game, Andrews cleared him as well. What is Shannahan supposed to do? I refuse to blame Shannahan, or Andrews.
I don't think it will be the end of his career, but it pisses me off that he would put himself in that danger. The only person who can know how he felt in the game, during that situation, was Robert. He sticks by his decision, Shannahan regrets not taking him out. I hope hope HOOPPEE he can be back for training camp and next season. We'll find out as the day goes on...
-

yeah, they love him so much that they'll let him do whatever the hell he wants - including trusting his word that he's ok.
I think it's TOTALLY ignorant to think that this Wild Card win was more important than his health and his future with the franchise.
for type-A competitors, the next win is always more important. get to the playoffs, and they'll chew off their own leg to get back out on the field. that's why you have (hopefully) impartial medical staff who can make a objective evaluation on whether or not an injury is severe enough to take a player out of the game.
in this case, it looks like that objective medical call wasn't made at all.
-
After what this team has endured at the QB position for decades, his health has been the most important thing this entire year. If he was cleared to go back in, he was cleared to go back in. Shannahan didn't slip them some extra money to get what he wanted to hear, if RG3 loses his job because he can't play, fucking everyone is fired hahahaha
-
It's a lose-lose situation for everyone involved.
Look no further than the Nationals to see what happens if you don't play him - everyone says you're doing a disservice to the game or taking a playoff run for granted or whatever by being cautious with your star player.
-
Thank you! I was making that same comparison after the game.
Nats are now being applauded when people are comparing the 2 teams.
I believe the Redskins have the best interests for the team including RG3 and his health and his and OUR future. Fingers crossed. Poor Bobby Griff :(
-

Everyone who is an idiot.
I was adamant they should bench him. They made the right call.

Oh, i agree. But the outrage over the decision and the comments from other managers and the press was pretty vicious.
It sucks that it was RGIII, but this incident really has vindicated that move for a lot people.

So how long until he drops this whole "the third" shit? I say by his 4th year, he's just Robert Griffin. That's too many words. An abundance, if you will. Superfluous.
Because he's The Third? Seeing as how his dad is Robert Griffin II.... and his grandad is Robert Griffin...
What about when they said Roy Helu Jr?
Listening to a physical therapist call into The Fan this morning, if it is a partial tear the worst case scenario is that he has delayed rehab and that he won't be up and running until November, worst case! I guess we'll find out later today for sure...
Actually there is a difference between II and Jr. If his grandfather was RG Sr, his dad would have been Jr. If his GREAT gradfather was the original RG, his dad would have been II. Its Jr, Sr if there is no generation skipped but it is II if they skip a generation, technically speaking of course. Now you know!
Isn't a Jr. if they have different middle names? Or is the II if they have the same middle names? Or does it just skip the Jr and the 3rd is the II and now RG3 is actually Robert Griffin 4...?
If they don't have the same middle names there is no generational qualifier involved at all. Just like the two George Bush president. One was GHWB the other GWB. No Jr/Sr or anything of the sort.
-
Last year it was the complete opposite and everyone calling Jay Cutler a coward for coming out of the game.
Bad analogy. Jay Cuntler is one of the world's biggest bitches. If he wasn't such a huge bitch, he might get the benefit of the doubt in that situation. That's his problem.

Me too. I was 14 games over .500 against the spread in NFL games this year. If Chris Christie gets his shit together, I'm moving to Jersey (or at least Philly) and fucking commuting here for work!

No one excited about the Rookie Of The Year?
Word is he's gonna start the season on the PUP list. I hope Shannahan learns to not listen to him... I hope it doesn't lead to trust issues. Gah! I just wanna see him play more football now. Damn it.
-
Are you still laughing?
Has to suck to be Bawlamore fan right now. Not only is DC's baseball team better than theirs, but so is its football team!
LMFAO!

I knew Baltimore would win the Super Bowl after the Skins were eliminated because we beat them.
Be honest, the only reason the Ravens won is because we beat them and they wanted to prove they were better than us. It's a real shame RG3 had to go down with the injury, otherwise we would have gotten to the Super Bowl and mopped the floor with the Ravens. Real shame.

Just read that the Redskins were the only team in the NFL that didn't wear an SHES sticker for Sandy Hook on their helmets this past year. Wonder why not.
-
How big were those stickers? I didn't hear those mentioned in any of the other teams games I watched.... Don't even know what they looked like.

This is a good question. I don't think they'll move any time soon. I think they are talking about moving back in 10-15 years. It would be a waste of a stadium though. Not to mention all the businesses that have popped up across the beltway and all the new homes around there. But, we'll see. I think it's stupid to talk about that less than 15 years after moving out...
-

I'm not going to bother with doing the research myself on this one because I'm not a fan of Snyder, but these stories usually come out when a lease it up or is a couple of years from being negotiated.
So look at that and who owns the stadium. You'll usually find your answer in figuring out whatever can help the owner make more money at the tax payers expense.

Terrible, terrible defensive and offensive effort. I'll side with being the guinea pigs for the insane Chip Kelly offense. You can't prepare yourself for 50 plays in a half. You also can't defend 50 plays a half when you only have 3 fucking first downs in that very same half.
RG3 doesn't throw picks, Alf doesn't fumble the ball, and Cobra Kai doesn't missed field goals, and all those things happened last night! They did come back to make it interesting at the end, but the effort was too little too late. It's just 1 week and they got jabbed right in the mouth. Interesting to see how they'll play against the Packers.... Mike Vick was able to exploit the rookie secondary with speed and quick decision making, Aaron Rodgers could destroy us if we don't get our shit together.

i think throwing RG3 out there with no preseason snaps after the injury he's coming back from.. on Monday Night Football no less... is pretty unconscionable.. he doesn't have to make excuses but i will for him
i also think the second half performance can't really be taken seriously becuase the eagles knew they were so ahead they could take their foot of the gas..
whats more interesting- by far- is the Chip Kelly offense..american football it is a very adaptable sport... it really changes year after year.... i can't think of any other sport that changes so much as american football....

I take it you didn't watch the Steelers on Sunday.

They did have the entire off season to watch film of the Ducks offense.
And I don't think you can take a chance by trotting Griffin out there in a meaningless exhibition game.

Some of the guys in the locker room said that what they saw on the field was a lot faster than the film they got on Oregon. Chip Kelly also said that he thought they ran their offense slower than he wanted.
I'll say the Eagles took their foot off the gas, but can their team maintain that speed through the whole game? That's insane. 50 plays in the first half!? They were averaging 75 plays in the preseason. So ridiculous. Thank god we only have to play them one more time.... Can't wait to see them run all over he rest of the division.
-

This what every team that played Oregon said after playing them.

This is what every pundit said after Oregon was 4-0 or 5-0, and they were right, Oregon, sure as shit, would lose one dumb game.
But Chip doesn't have to worry about that anymore - he doesn't have to run the table because of the playoff system. If they get a bye week the first week of the NFL Playoffs, look the hell out.
-
It's 1 game against a week secondary and an incredibly unprepared defense... I wouldn't put them in the playoff picture just yet. Especially with the insane parody in the NFL.

Well, it's a different level of football and a completely new team working the system. We'll see if Vick can stay healthy through the season. He was getting some good licks after he got rid of the ball.

i actually got to watch a game . . . all i cared about. get rid of cable for a few years, where watching football becomes an effort usually not worth. you will appreciate the game so much more.

All I watch is sports and Breaking Bad on TV. I hate a lot of what's on TV. If it wasn't for sports I probably wouldn't even have satellite.

Outscored 50-7 in the 1st half of 2 games? And that 7 was questionable.

There was a solid 4 hours where I slept between the Skins game and Breaking Bad. I had my buddies bachelor party the night before and we didn't get home til about 6am so I was beat. I was pretty much dead during the Skins game [as were they, ZING!] so it didn't effect me too much. Breaking Bad was rough though.
Keep in mind last year the Skins were brutalized in the first half of the season through the air by mediocre and decent passing attacks. This year they went from shitty corners to inexperienced corners and the results are looking about the same. I think any and all offensive output is kind of hollow because they are just being pummeled in the first halves of these games. Alfred Morris was at about 100 yards in the 3rd though, so it looks like he's coming around. Without RG3 as a real run threat, they have to figure out another way to attack offenses.
-
Griffin had good fantasy numbers though. That's important, right?
-
I guess if he's on your team. I can't tell if they're just getting their shit together in the 2nd half or if the other teams are just taking their foot off the gas pedal or if it's a shade of both. With Calvin Johnson coming to town I don't see these trends ending... Our rookies are getting fucking worked and looks like Brandon Merriweather is going to be out the rest of the season again, so, what, he played all of 2 games as a Redskin? Kick ass.
-
Fire the coach.
-
What? Why?
One barely not caught ball [lol] and we're right back in the game. RG3 made plays, unfortunately so did the Lions. It's upsetting because we lost, but at least we were in it for most of the game. That fucking onside kick. Jesus Christ. How are you not aware of your field position? You know what he should have done? Let the ball hit the fucking ground and it would have landed right at the 10 yard marker THEN he could have just laid on it. Idiot.

-
some people are in denial.....
-
I'm not in denial, the secondary is a mess, and people said it all last year but that offensive line was made to look good by Robert moving around and keeping plays alive. That opened up the run game. Alfred Morris doesn't have the break away speed and people said that all year. With Robert injured it doesn't open up the run game. Alfred Morris is still rushing the ball well, but we don't have great receivers. RG3 makes the team great and the team goes as he does. He's playing average, so is the team. They can't mask those terrible defensive efficiencies.
3-6 last year to 10-6 and the NFC East championship and a playoff berth. Of course I'm not saying we're going to go 13-0, but there's a whole lot of football left to be played. Being negative is way too easy.

KC1 > RG3
-
I'm not sure which i liked him more in, Growing Pains or those Left Behind movies.
KC1 > RG3

Man. I feel for Bob. We'll see how KC1 does against a half decent team next week.
If Jacksonville got to Nick Foles last week, hopefully our defense can keep rolling and get to him this week. Either way, my excitement for the season is even lower now.
-
I say it whenever given the opportunity. This team will be a turkey as long as Snyder is the owner. They will never really compete for a championship as long as he is in charge.
The team is a loser. It matters not who the coach is, who the players are. None of it.
-
I used to hear people say that about the Orioles and Angelos, but look at them go. Hopefully they don't end up a Machado or a Wieters short of the title.

I thought Synder's whole letter in support of Goodell's handling of the Ray Rice thing was hilarious. Run the text of it through your Dan Snyder -> English translator and it reads: "Roger Goodell doesn't have the courage to stand up to the undeniable racism of my franchise's name and someone else probably would, so lets keep Goodell."

Who is this "everybody" who thinks Cousins is better than RG3? The guy has 4 career starts!
Also, press conference is at 3pm so we'll get a return time table [specuatlion 2-6 weeks] and the MRI showed NO fractures!? How is that even possible!?
Either way, I just want the team to be competitive. If RG3 can come back from THIS leg injury, I think it'll be he can handle...
-
Who is this "everybody" who thinks Cousins is better than RG3? The guy has 4 career starts!
Yeah, I agree with you on this. Kirk Cousins has 236 career passing attempts and 10 INTs on it. Extrapolated out to the average # attempts the Washington NFL team has attempted over that last 3 years, that'd be 28-29 INTs a year.
RG3 hasn't looked great last year or this one, but he hasn't been 29 INTs bad. I don't know where this "Kirk Cousins is worth a first round pick/is a starting-level QB" junk is coming from. Based on what? Preseason games, spot duty, and terrorizing Jacksonville?
-
It's the DC "Off with his head!" mentality when it comes to our sports teams.
RG3 padded his stats last year due to playing from behind, but him 100% vs KC1 100% is still not a competition. One guy won a Heisman trophy and had the most prolific rookie season the NFL has ever seen.... the other was backing him up.
I'll still support KC1, but I wasn't clammoring for him to start. Everyone who wanted him to start were scremaing for Todd fucking Colins to start.

I think it took Jay Gruden 1 game to realize that and opened the 2nd game with Read Option. I think not at least teasing the dual threat limits him as a threat. I was hopeful they would figure it out but now it looks like it won't be this season.

Archie Griffin won the Heisman as well. Any relation?

He won two Heismans, so he is clearly twice as good of a quarterback as RG3, despite being a running back. It's just simple math.
