Looks like another W on Sunday for the Vikes. RGIII is good, but the Vikings D is BETTER…
__________
Both Griffin and the Vikings defense are impressive, but it’s more than a bit of a stretch to call it an easy win for the Vikings. Griffin has won , or put his team in a position to win every game he’s played four quarters in this season. It’s the league’s 7th best offense (3rd best until Griffin was knocked out) playing against the league’s 7th best defense.

The point is, this isn’t a good game for anyone to bet on. It should be a lot of fun, regardless of result, and a hell of a better match up than anyone would have predicted when they announced the schedule last summer.

Boy. That hit sure looked hard. For a football player, he is DB size.
_____________
DB size?
Robert Griffin- 6’2 3/4, 225
Michael Vick- 6’0, 215
Tony Romo- 6’2, 230
Aaron Rodgers- 6’2, 225
Eli Manning- 6’4, 218
Matt Ryan- 6’4, 215
Drew Brees- 6’0, 209

These are facts.

I think Kirk Cousins is enough to beat the lowly Vikings. Please rest him this week and avoid a possible Jahvid Best situation

Rg3 is a Republican, so his mental status is already suspect. ——- Just like a Democrat, preferring to sit on the sideline and collect a check for nothing.

Seriously, you seriously think its an independent doctor? That’s the most naive statement I’ve ever heard, yeah that’s why players flunk their baseline to play when concussed and teams are allowed to throw players like Schaub back out there on the next play after vicious hits to the head, those are the same “independent” doctors too, and anyone with any inkling of knowledge knows it takes ten minutes for concussion symptoms to show. RGIII is an exciting player, so many young QBs coming up this league is going to be incredible, but guess what? Best judgment for his long term health is to keep him out as a precaution, there is no such thing as a “mild” concussion as anyone with any bit of knowledge about them knows, player given a choice will be out there, but that choice should be take away from him, why? Because five F’ing years ago the league wasn’t on the verge of being ruined by ex players suing over permanent brain damage from concussions. Ignorant people on here man, it’s one game.

Shanahan needs to quit calling those stupid QB draw plays. He fumbled at least once, and gets hit really really hard on the rest. Tom Brady doesn’t need to run for a score, why the hell does RG3? He has a great arm, quick release, and is smart. You don’t need to run for 100yrds a game. Just get him some franchise WRs is all.

Wasn’t he knocked unconscious? Yet some posters still are ok with guys playing after a brain injury. Yes, as long as the Redskins faithful get a win Sunday, who cares if this young man has dementia at age 40! If you want him to play for your team long term he should sit out short term. It’s not like the Redskins are going to the playoffs this year.

Suffering a concussion just days after suffering your previous concussion can have serious damage on your mental & physical health! Also your more susceptible to a second concussion days after having one… The redskins are not going to playoffs so just let RG3 play it on the safe side! Really dumb decision on org side if he plays

I hope he plays, the Vikings defense needs to account for a mobile QB in order to better prepare for the playoffs.

I love the comments about Shanahan, or the team letting him play. Do yourself a favor and read the story, and educate yourself on how a player is allowed to come back from a concussion.

The team has nothing to do with it. It is an independent doctor that has to clear him.

I agree with the posters that point out the obvious. If this was 5 years ago, he wouldn’t have even come out of the game, let alone spending a week going through testing. Ridiculous.

The hit was bad but it wasn’t that bad. There’s a hit Tom Brady took in like 01-02 that was way worse. It’s on youtube. He got up and played the next play. RGIII haters are hilarious.

Wow. Judging from most of these comments, the concussion hype in the media probably has you guys wearing helmets around your house. 5 years ago he would’ve been back in the game last week. If he’s says he feels good and the doctors clear him, the Skins would be foolish to sit him.

—————————-

5 years ago we didn’t have guys shooting them selves in the chest to preserve their brain for concussion research. Because it was good in the past isn’t a good argument, part of evolution is being smart enough to learn from past experience.

dear RG3, you have nothing to prove in high school football or college football, but in the NFL you have a hell of a lot to prove. You were already whining about being hit to hard in the second game of your career. Find a video of Brady, Roethlesburger, Rodgers, Brees etc complaining about getting hit too hard; they don’t exist. Maybe that kevlar vest Vick is hiding behind would be of some help.

Any other decade this is a non story and he finishes the game out…is football dangerous? Yup..much like smoking people know it and still do it…i dont hear bull riders suing a bull..or extrem sports guys suing skateboard companies..its a known risk factor and they Re currently compensated as such… A pfc can take a bullet in the corps for about 15k take home a year but if a dude gets hit playing football there is a sudden problem…mma fighters know what could be..ali still reminds people everyday about the dangers of boxing..yet they still choose to play..you make the choice as a grown man to do somethi g you know could have long term affects thats on you…

As a long time skins fan..thank gawd he is playing cause we need a home win bad awful
