This should have been an easy win after up 14-0 in the first quarter.

Griffin would've accepted it because its the right decision for the team.

I guess what really pisses me off is that if this MRI comes back positive for a ligament tear, Griffin will be losing valuable off-season time in improving his weaknesses because he'll be rehabbing. A veteran getting this injury isn't that big a deal, it's a huge problem for a rookie who's offseason should be full of film study and drills.
Cold hard truth...we *****ed them in Seattle WITH Grossman.

Today was a regression.

RGIII shouldnt have played against us, or even today, it was very clear he couldnt even run on that knee, all we heard was the brace was to big or too heavy, limiting him to run, everyone could see the limp. i hope its not torn, but who knows maybe it was torn when it originally happened, that was a bad shot he took.

beating them in Seattle had nothing to do with today, you guys had your chances at 14-0 with them, I would blame Shanny on this, if it was up to me RGIII wouldnt have seen the field today or last week.

this makes no sense, seattle is a much better team this year than last, so losing this year is not a regression.

I cringed when I saw his knee bend the wrong way! I will be very surprised if he doesn't need surgery. His leg looks BAD!

Truth be told, I would still take Luck over RGIII. At the same time, these notions about Griffin being exposed the past two weeks are in the very least premature if not flat out absurd. He is clearly not the same guy I watched play the first 13 weeks. Dude is playing on one good wheel. If you can't see that you are being incredibly stubborn, or incredibly naive.

That was last year. They're a different team now. This isn't a regression because we finished 10-6 and not 5-11 or worse. But I do agree, we shouldn't have lost with a 14-0 lead.

Steve Young said the way RG3 plays is not sustainable. It's only his first year and he is already beat up badly. He's going to end up like Mike Vick!

This. RGIII even said himself it was the brace causing his limp...but I was skeptical until today.

Seattle: Tavaris Jackson for Russell Wilson

Washington: Rex Grossman and Roy Helu for RGIII and Robert Morris

On paper...beating them at Seattle last year should have guaranteed a comfortable win this year.

Don't know about that...but for a guy with a 3.6 GPA that graduated college in 3 years...he should have been more honest about his limitations after the hit from Ngata.

Who would you blame for failing to execute the kill on a rookie 3rd round draft QB at home then?

this is about the most ignorant thing I've read. you can't just look at the win last year in a vacum without considering injuries, improvements of younger players, and several other factors and assume a comfortable win.

the 11-5 vs 10-6 is far more relevant.
