Yes, Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III spent plenty of time after Sunday’s 27-7 loss to the previously one-win Buccaneers taking blame for his performance. But not all of it.
Griffin also spread blame to everyone else on the field with him.
“It takes 11 men,” Griffin said. “It doesn’t take one guy. That’s proven. The great QBs -- the Peytons and Aaron Rodgers. They don’t play well if their guys don’t play well. They don’t.”
Last year, receiver Santana Moss advised Griffin, during a radio interview, that the quarterback always needs to take the blame, even if the blame doesn’t land on him.
“If we’re going to win games, we need to win games with our guy saying, ‘At the end of the day, I didn’t make a play,’ regardless of if it wasn’t him,” Moss said. “‘I’m not sitting here to tell you why it didn’t happen, or who didn’t make the play for me to make a play.’”
