While RGIII was not the same player that day, his coach likely relied on him to let him know if he could play.
We don't know what those discussions entailed.
In the end, the field helped to be his demise as no one expected his foot to get stuck like that and twist that knee in that manner.
Tough call either way.
Kudos to Shanahan for what he did with that team this year.
Hopefully RGIII will be back at some point next year, or if not, the following and resume a great career.
As a Giants fan, I want him around to watch a competitive rivalry.

Monday morning QB? No. I was saying they need to pull him as the game was going on. It was absolutly clear RG3 was unable to function, Kyle dialed up a couple Qb runs and Griffin limped all the way. Did you watch the game? I find it hard to believe somebody that watched RG3 deteriorate like that would not think he should be replaced. It was painful to watch. It was blatently obvious Griffin should not have been in there, no matter who won or lost. Griffin started out the first quarter doing very well for an injured player but you saw a rapid decline in his health as the game went on. I don't know fellas, maybe we watched different games... or maybe this cold medicine is making me lose my mind.

We watched the same game.
I am just saying that we don't know what RGIII told Shanahan. May have been RGIII's decision to wish to continue to play as often happens with true stars.
Shanahan may have considered a reduced % RGIII was better than not.
Who knows?
I guess a non Redskins fan, I don't have skin (pun intended) in it and can see other views.
I personally would not get down on Shanahan's decision or lack thereof not knowing what went on the field/sideline.
Just my opinion, nothing to make you second guess your sanity as result of cold Meds.

Haha, I just feel that regardless of what RG3 told Shanahan, actions speak louder than words, and RG3s actions were screaming take me out. Griffin is always gonna tell his coach to keep him in, he is a warrior. It's Shanahan's descision and resposibility to put whoever on the field that gives the Skins the best chance of winning. I felt while watching the game that RG3 eventually had deteriorated to the point he was no longer the best man for the job. Even Griffins passes were more inaccurate than I have seen all year from him so it's not just his ability to scramble that was being affected. Either way it is over now, hopefully RG3 recovers from surgery with no issues and we can start a new season. I heard a rumor they are talking about terf options too.
I agree it is nice to have compitition in the NFC East. Skins have spent alot of recent years at rock bottom. Will be an interesting devision for the next few years.

While as a true Giants fan it is hard to care for any other NFC East team, I swear I welcome a strong, competitive division THAT CAN KICK THE CRAP OUT OF THE COWBOYS!!! On a regular basis.

We can all agree to dislike the Cowboys, I don't even like to capitalize thier name.
