Not getting that fumble basically guaranteed a loss. Even if they punted, they still had a chance.
    my thoughts exactly.

    I could be wrong but to me it looked like a little bit of selfishness and lack of toughness.

    Like i said before i had Seahawks but i would have been pissed at that effort if i was a redskins fan.

    I appreciate athletes that play like warriors.

    hey i dont fault the man for fumbling, that is human error and things like that happen.

    i am criticizing RG3 for not going after that ball after he fumbled.

    it kinda reminded me of when hanley ramirez booted the ground ball and kicked it to the outfied and just jogged after it instead of hustling.

    this also proves why Cam newton is a more valuable player.

    Cam is the biggest baddest man on the field everytime he plays.
    You cant hurt Cam.

    and if you do hurt him, he wont let you know it.

    You cant expect a 22 year old kid to say take me out of the game it was Shanahan's responsibility and he should have taken him out after they went up 14-0 and he re-injured it on the second td drive or at least when their lead was slipping to 14-10, 14-13. If Cousins had come in with the lead I think he could have made enough completions and flipped the field if not lead them on another scoring drive to hold off Seattle, but rg3 couldn't sustain any drives and he missed his guy over the middle on a big third down with like 7 mins left to go that would have at the least ended in flipping the field. They kept punting giving Seattle great field position and it was only a matter of time before they did something with it. Cousins would have been able to make those throws and sustain at least one of those late redskin drives and given them a BETTER chance to win. The whole warrior tough guy thing doesn't mean jack shit at the end of the day and ultimately rg3 hurt his team by being out there in the 3rd and 4th quarter.

    If you play, you aren't hurt.
    If you are hurt, you don't play.

    Didn't really read any of the posts here... but I will say this.... I've paid close attention to Shanahan throughout his entire time in the NFL... back to his Broncos days... And I will say this... he has a no nonsense attitude. He really does. There's a special bond between RG3 and Shanahan... and he would tell you the same thing... "This team wasn't expected to go anywhere this year." He feels they went there with RG3. But I promise you... if they WERE EXPECTED to make it... he wouldn't of road that horse... he would of went with Cousins during halftime. Take a look at his postgame interview.... he almost wanted to say.. "I FUKKED UP"... he knows it. But he really loves this RG3 kid.

    Why so you could all blame Cousins when washington lost anyway?
