History will not be kind to Griffin – his style of quarterbacking has never won a Super Bowl.

Right now Griffin is merely Mike Vick without the interceptions and the felon convictions.

You sir, have clearly never seen Robert Griffin III play football, outside of maybe a few SportsCenter highlights.

If you look at the whole piece, the closest thing he has to a positive comment about the Redskins is that Griffin “looked like he had no complications from last week’s concussion”. Not that he ‘looked stellar against an excellent Minnesota defense’, not that he ‘looked like an up and coming superstar’, not even that he ‘looked like a competent starter in the NFL’; just that he “looked like he had no complications from last week’s concussion”.

In fact, he praises Ponder, for his efforts in previous games and what was essentially garbage time, more than he praises Griffin, the Shanahans and the Washington defense put together. Ponder “[was not] the efficient guy who didn’t throw a single pick in the first four games”, and “responded with a pair of touchdown drives, giving the Vikings a shot after they trailed by 19.” Ridiculous.

I like his reporting in general, and I’m not sure that he’s totally aware of the tone his pieces about Washington take on, but it’s kind of weird that a professional sports writer can’t cover one of the 32 NFL franchises without being able to admit that not everything they do is a horrible mistake.

On the other hand, if Griffin is hit with a dose of radiation and turns into the Incredible Hulk just before the game, Washington wins 584-0.

Um, the Redskins are loaded with young skill players already. They have several young RBs, including a rookie who already has over 500 yards, and several young WRs, and a young stud TE. They also lead the NFL in scoring.

Watching Ponder go up against Luck and RGIII – it makes me depressed that the Vikings are stuck with Ponder when they were 1 more loss last year from securing one of them. Switch QBs in that game and I think it’s a 2 TD win for Minn. Ponder was awful and RGIII was great.

Great to see the Vikings lose. Now, their very small fanbase can watch a real team in the Packers knock off Houston.

What are you doing on this thread? There are no excuses, no bad ref arguments, no scout team bashing, and no whining so you have no reason to be on here.

Way to capitalize on our mistakes today Redskins. You guys beat us fair and square.

“There are no excuses”………..but, “Way to capitalize on our mistakes today Redskins.”

Sounds like an excuse to me. Vikings fell farther and faster than Felix Baumgartner did today.

Hey all you football experts, wanna know the REAL MVP of this game? Trent Williams, for shutting Jared Allen down almost the entire game, and the entire O-Line, really, for a fantastic performance…They’re the reason RG3 and Morris were able to do what they did.

And the defense got a little better again, like they improved last week despite the loss. Washington is improving!!! HAIL

Agreed, Williams was definitely on point today, but the Shanahans also deserve a lot of credit. The Vikings are a dynamic, multi-faceted, and very capable team, and both Kyle and Mike obviously spent a lot of time figuring out exactly how to exploit their limited weaknesses. As everyone saw in the first quarter, those plans clearly did not work. So what was really impressive, is how they were able to scrap their original gameplan, or utilize previously prepared backup plans and adjust in order to take it to the Vikings throughout the second and third quarter. Clearly, they were helped out by Griffin, Williams, and Lorenzo Alexander’s stellar play, but the whole coaching staff deserves a ton of credit for that win.

Whether the VIKES go 12-4 or 6-10 will depend upon thier RED ZONE offense. vs 49′s it was great. vs the Lions we got lucky with 2 STeam TD’s. It came back to haunt us here.

I would have gone for the TD on the first and maybe third drive like he did against the 49′s.

Not having Simpson hurt, but not so much the RED ZONE.

Not so worried about the big RGIII run. On the previous 3rd down the VIKES totally sold out to stop the short gain. Like most 3-1 that are crucial or 4-1 the first line of defense is the only line of defense and if you break it your gone. It was a good play call the VIKES sold out for the sack and all in tight coverage and good execution by the skins.

I hope they bounce back against the Cards.

I love my VIKES but I had them going 6-4 into the bye and 8-8 with worse case year being 6-10 and best case year being 12-4.

Best case had them 9-1 going into the bye, so much for that, but I love my VIKES .

This year it truly look like on any given Sunday…

SKOL baby!
