As far as I'm concerned?
A bad coaching decision.
But again, I said that he should have been rested against a run-for-the-bus Philly team so he had two weeks of rest and rehab instead of one week.
I'm not against the decision to start him against Dallas in week 17 because Washington was competing directly with Dallas for the playoffs.
And I can see where Shanny wanted to start him today but I thought after that roll-out play near the goal line it was obvious that he had worsened the injury and that Cousins should have been put in at that point, much earlier than what happened.
Finally, all of this is ignoring the fact that the nation's leading orthopedic surgeon, James Andrews, stated that he did not clear RGIII to return to play in the game against Baltimore. Either Andrews or Shanny lied about this.
Shanny keeps passing the buck saying the doctor this and Robert that. Bottom line, Shanny or his boy, the OC, needed to make the decision to pull him from the game when he reinjured his knee in the first half. He was obviously playing on one leg at that point and as good as he is, RGIII is not better on one leg than Kirk Cousins.
