Washington Redskins Recap: Was an Injured RGIII In the Game Too Long?

SPEAK OUT: Should the coach have taken Redskins' quarterback out of the game sooner?

The talk after the Washington Redskins tough loss Sunday in its playoff game with the Seattle Seahawks at FedEx Field? RGIII's injured knee. Star rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III played despite a lasting knee injury and went down in the fourth quarter. On Twitter, the debate was fast and furious about when RGIII should have exited the game. Here's a roundup of what some were saying: What do you think? Do you think the coach should have pulled RGIII out of the game sooner?

Lateral collateral ligament sprain isn't a disqualifier for a quarterback, but with a brace on, they need to know that mobility like a cut to the left will be reduced. Andrews knows what he's doing. If he examined RG3 and he was ok, and RG3 was aware of the mobility issue, then he was OK to play. If Shanahan did an end run around Andrews, he's liable for any permanent injury. &nbsp more ›

NFL Playoffs: Where to Watch, TV Schedule, Lines

The Washington Redskins face the Seattle Seahawks this weekend in one of four NFL wildcard games.

The Washington Redskins have spent since 2007 traveling the road back to the NFL playoffs -- but it's been a heck of a ride. Next stop: Sunday's wildcard game against the Seattle Seahawks.

RGIII Brings Cool Factor to Washington

Redskins hope the talented quaterback can bring the team succes on and off the field.

If you're wondering why everyone in your office is sporting braids and insisting on being called by their initials, you can thank one person—Robert Griffin III. Last week the Washington Redskins selected Griffin—more commonly known as RGIII—with the second overall pick in the NFL draft, culminating a months long lovefest with the highly talented Heisman winning quarterback out of Baylor University. With the pick, the Redskins and their fans hope to end a generation’s worth of mediocre play at football's most important position, and bring an infusion of excitement to a team seemingly incapable of escaping the gravitational pull of its black hole of futility. RGIII's physical gifts are a big reason for the buzz he has generated across the …
