thought he should be down as soon as he starts sliding.

Then it would have been a 15 yard personal foul and automatic first down. not arguing with you, just saying that, either way, it doesn’t really change the outcome of the game.

“The Immaculate Fumble”

Really though, the kid has played great. True he fumbled and it worked out, what are you gonna do? Sometimes it is truly better to be lucky than good and for years, the Skins were the ones bitten by the luck bug. Well, I’m not gonna gripe when we finally get one to go our way.

FYI, if RGIII loses out on the ROY award it’ll be because he loses votes to Alford Morris there by allowing Luck to win. Great year for rookies this year though. Luck, Wilson, Griffin, Morris, Tannehill and Doug Martin all having ROY caliber campaigns.

why can you advance a forwards fumble in the first 58 minutes but not the last 2? seems like a suspect rule… if it is important enough to make a rule about, why does the rule only apply at the end of a game?

I saw RGIII’s first game in NOLA. You could not tell whether he had the ball or handed it off or who he handed it off to if he did. The guy is exciting. He is especially exciting for Washington D.C. and the surrounding area.

They are really hyping RG3. He is a very good rookie but that play was not great on his part. He fumbled the ball on minimal contact. Yes it was a decent run but Gruden and the rest are making it seem like it was superior play by Griffin rather than extraordinary luck that netted the TD. This is beyond the typical “This guy is great” fare for whoever is playing on Monday night. Ugh. Time to press the mute button again.

I laughed out loud of the “Magic of RGIII” comment by Gruden. Gimme a break!

RGIII fumbles and they chant his name. Am I missing something here?

Can’t rely on luck all night. That play, and the BS grounding call already two lucky plays.

RGIII fumbles and gets lucky

Gruden “The magic of RGIII!”

ESPN is REALLY slurping on RGIII tonight.

Not to praise Griffin for a fumble, but damn, the guy can do no wrong.
