eball Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Ugh that's unfortunate. People will blame shannie because he is to blame. But as some of us talked about before there was an air of inevitably given his history , play style and not being a big guy. Fixed. Cousins looks like a capable starter too, at least give shannie credit for that. Quite a testament to the value of BPA Yes, Shanahan is so confident in Cousins he felt an RGIII with a torn knee was more valuable last Sunday.

Coach Tuesday Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Shanahan was given a sleek, amazing sports car to play with and he wrecked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 The ironic thing here is that almost all of the former NFL players turned analysts thought that RGIII staying in the game (because he wanted to) was the right thing. Yet there currently is this massive lawsuit against the NFL being brought by former players who feel the league did not protect them enough. You can't have it both ways. The decisions made after that Ngata hit should make for one heck of a 30 for 30 documentary on what happened to one of the most promising and anticipated NFL careers in the history of the league. I was shaking my head watching him limp around. I was surprised he wasn't sent back to the locker room and put in street clothes after that second TD.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 People will blame shannie because as an ass he's an easy target. But as some of us talked about before there was an air of inevitably given his history , play style and not being a big guy. You've completely missed the point. The issue isn't the inevitability of RGIII getting injured. The issue is that he was sent out to play by Shanny when he was hurting the team and exposing himself to greater injury. Everyone and their dead aunt could see that RGIII was hurting himself and hurting the team. Except the guy who's being paid $7 million a year to see it. That's why Shanahan is under fire. Because it's one of the most obvious judgement errors by an NFL head coach in recent history. Perhaps you haven't followed the story. RGIII was originally injured against the Ravens in week 14.

papazoid Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Mixed reports on length of Griffin’s rehab... ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, who expanded the torn-ligament alphabet by adding ACL to the prior report of a torn LCL, says that Griffin will need six-to-eight months to recover. The Washington Post, citing a doctor who hasn’t treated or evaluated Griffin, says that the rehab time on an LCL tear can cover eight to 12 months. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/09/mixed-reports-on-length-of-griffins-rehab/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 RG III should have been pulled from the game at halftime. You could see him grimmacing as he ran DUMB move - ~ 9 months out if he dosn't have a setback and no guarantee he'll be even 80% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
