Is that why he spent so much time yelling at and berating the official – when a call went against the Steelers of all times? What an idiot. I was hoping the ref would eject *him*.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.

It was stupid, yes, but every other team in the NFL has used, and completed, trick plays against the Skins. Shanny just wanted to try it on someone else. Can’t blame him. If it worked, it would have been the play of the week, and yall wouldn’t shutup about it and how amazing RGIII is. But it didn’t work, and now he’s a “terrible” head coach. Whatever. Next game, please.

The dumb thing about was it was 3rd and 4, down by 8. Crucial drive and it should have been a bootleg or a quick slant to a TE. Stupid play call. Plus, someone ALWAYS is watching RGIII. Hes not gonna slip into the secondary unnoticed. At least Shanny has the balls to admit he was wrong.

He should feel dumb for continuing to start DeAngelo Hall.

I blame it ALL in those unbelievably ugly uniforms the steelers wore. Absolutely hideous.

The nfl is all about the money. I know that’s the same as saying “the sun rises in the east” but something like this just reinforces that fact. When these uniforms were worn seriously probably 70 years or so ago the players were forced to work in the off-season to make ends meet, the tickets didn’t cost an arm and a leg, whole families could come to the games, ‘personal seat licenses’ didn’t exist, season tickets were passed from generation because they were affordable.

The nfl has no respect for those days except to find yet another way to profit from them.

It was Josh Morgan’s fault for throwing the pass. If Morgan sees that RG3 is not wide open then he should just run the ball. I like the gutsy call from Shanahan. If RG3 is wide open he looks like a genius.

teach your receiver to not throw it if he’s not wide open. very easy fix.

Shannahan is smart enough to know that it was stupid to risk his franchise QB,to injury,hopefully he will not put RG at risk again,he is being paid to QB,not WR,you don’t see Brady,or the Mannings or Rogers,Breese going out to catch a pass.sometimes I wonder what Shannahan is thinking.

Come on, this is football. RG3 is a competitor and will always want the ball, even if he has to catch a pass. With that kind of weapon, you find a way to get the ball into his hands. 4.3 speed is 4.3 speed, take advantage of it. Don’t quit using your game changer Shany

ROFL. You can get the ball in his hands simply by just hiking it to him.

You are all missing the point. It was not a big deal hit on RG3, he can take it, he didn’t go to the ground or anything. The point of it is that IT WAS A STUPID PLAY TO CALL IN THAT SITUATION!!!!!!
You do that on 1st or 2nd, if things are going ok, if the field position and tempo of the game is right.

On third down, for the love of God, you call a play with real good odds of making it work, not a gadget like that. Trying to keep a drive alive when you’re down is not the time to have JOSH MORGAN throw the ball, when you’re QB has a 70% completion rate on the year so far….That’s what’s dumb about it, from a guy who gets paid millions to know what to do! Kills me I swear

Due to the new focus on head injuries, I expect a very short career for Griffin unless Shanahan stops this non-sense.

It was just Ryan Clark… Not like a real DB that can deliver a hit. I’m surprised he was able to hit someone.

It’s his first year. Skins will be a contender for years to come but it’s gonna be a year or two before the plan comes to fruition

Shannahan comes from the same coaching school as that other imbecile further up north on I 95 Andy Reid or better known as “The Blob”.

tainted,

You apparently didn’t watch very closely. The hit was hands to shoulder and chest. Isn’t this football?

Should have been flagged. Launched and I believe helmet to helmet on a defenseless receiver.

@ tdubdizzle

Um no, ike taylor was step for step with rg3…he needed the offensive PI to create separation and still didn’t have enough position to make that catch…are you sure it was the steelers skins game you were watching?

That play didn’t fool anyone. RGIII was blanketed by a DB (the one he pushed off), and Clark had coverage over the top.

It’s not a bad play call, but if there is anyone within 20 yards of the franchise QB, the player should not throw it to him.
