RG3 is limping badly and his knee is obviously screwed. His throws are off and we're gonna lose this.
Come on, Shanaclan....Get Kirk in !!! He WILL deliver.

Get Cousins in !!!

Oh dear poor rg3! WTF was shanahan thinking???? Should've taken him off ages ago, he's been hobbling since 1st quarter!

It was so inevitable. Game's over/lost but still a great season for the Redskins.

I'm not a top NFL coach, I'm a fat bloke in Bolton.
But even I could see that RG3 wasn't doing it tonight. 'Cos his knee's obviously knackered.
FFS......Stop thinking short term and protect him. His career could be over right now.
There's always next year. And Kirk is more than capable. Boll0x.
I'm angry....

RGIII's throwing game has been off all day, and didn't have his running game to act as a 'get out of jail free'
The man could barely walk, let alone run. After Cousin's performance to get the OT win vs Ravens, would've liked to see him in earlier.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing though.

It's not about hindsight, mate.
First quarter - everything's good 14 - Zip.
Second quarter, RG3 gets nailed and can barely walk.
Pull him and put Kirk in. Roll the dice....
It's got to be better than going with a crippled QB.

It's been so obvious all game though, he was just one hit or awkward fall away from getting seriously injured....why risk him like that when we've got him for 4 more years and this current skins team aren't quite good enough anyway...
Plenty time to grow as a team.... As long as your star QB doesn't get his career ended by a stupid short term thinking coach.

You're right about the Ravens game. Sorry, I meant to say that in my last post.

It's a massive call to make though, but yeah I'd agree in principle of putting Cousins in - it's not like it's Rex goddam Grossman.
Just gotta hope it isn't a long term issue....a running QB is always gonna get hit, but it's very early in his career if he starts getting knee injuries
(Regardless of how good Seattle's defence has been, can't see them doing much against the Falcons)

CBB, you're spot on, mate.
This is a multi-million dollar industry, so why can we see it but Mike Shanahan can't?
We've got the nucleus of a great team here with RG3 and Morris. Let's build....
I'm still annoyed......

RonalD'OH, yeah, you're right, mate.
Interceptaurus Rex....? Yeah, OK Rex - bye bye. Off to Canada for you mate.
As for the QB witch.... know it's a massive call but we all made it......and we're not getting paid millions of dollars.
And as a Redskins fan of over 25 years, I hope you're right about RG3's bad leg.
