Did Shanahan Just Lose the Playoff Game

[TorontoRam]

RGIII out of the game. Too late for Shahahan to make a substitutiion perhaps. He may have just lost a playoff game by being a 'tad' too loyal to RGIII. If I was the owner I'd be 'perturbed.'

Shanahan is such a dumb@$$....RG3 could barely walk and he keeps him in the game. I would have let Cousins play from the beginning, not wait until the end.

EDIT: Would just like to point out I have always lived in the northern VA/DC area and my family are Redskins fans. They are noticeablely unhappy lol.

I can't stand Pete Carroll's face and hearing about the Seahawks.

EDIT again: I have no love for the Falcons, but I really really really want them to take a dump on the Seahawks.

This should be on NFL talk

Idiotic decision on his part. If RGIII deals with long term injuries after this, it's going to hurt to the team in the future (which doesn't really bother me since the 2014 draft pick is looking nice)

I can see starting RG3, but after the first quarter he was obviously hampered by the knee and ineffective. It looked like his hand was banged up as well. I'm not sure what Shanahan was thinking, but he made a huge error in judgement by keeping RG3 in the game when he was unable to run or throw. I feel bad for Griffin.

It must be troublesome, for Redskins fans, to see their franchise QB go down with injury three times in his first season.

[TorontoRam]

Ditto. What an @$$-wipe. How could he let RGIII start much less continue when he was on one leg . Shanny allowed the sissy-boy PC win a game which he should not have won. I hope the Rams kick his @$$ next season.

Definitely man. Yeah this needs to get moved. As I'm writing this, did anyone else just see Trent Williams put his hands in Richard Sherman's face? Sherman is no stranger to getting in people's faces (remember the Pats game with Brady?)

EDIT: Editing so I don't double-post. Yeah most of my friends are noticeably pissed. I would think it was pretty apparent even in the first quarter that the knee was a significant problem. Personally I really like RG3, and I hear he's a very nice guy. He's shown up a couple times at one of the nearby high schools and went to a game or 2. Many of my friends have been able to meet him and I hope he can get on track with his recovery.

The Vikes sat Ponder cause he was injured and wouldnt get hurt more. Why did Shanny not do that for a qb 10x better then ponder and the face of the franchise and just a rookie with an obvious injury? Horrible call by Shanny. Hope RG3 will be ok, hate for such a good person to have to deal with anything major.

Depending on how bad that knee is Shanahan may have lost them more than one playoff game.

I cant see RG3 lasting more than a few seasons at this pace. Dual threat qbs are all the rage until they run too many times and end up taking beatings like running backs.

This is the same guy that sent terrell davis in the game when he couldn't even see so this doesn't surprise me.

I forgot about TD. Shanny is delusional and now the team orthopod is publicly saying he did not clear RGIII to play much less re-enter the game. If I was the owner I'd can his @$$. Hasta la vista Mikey.

Kirk Cousins should of been in the 2nd quarter that game at the latest. He threw for 2 TD's before that but after that hit on the sideline you could tell a difference. He should of took that lead and feed their star rookie RB the ball.

[Rambos]

This is the second blown ACL as we all know. But did you know he played on a bad knee at Baylor?
Here is a video of RG3 talking about it and the hit he took when he hurt it. To be honest does not look like much of a hit and yes he stayed in and played on it.
