All I can say is,

All I can say is

A simple change of QB's has us moving on

[everydayAskinsday]

Great season .. More then I could of asked for, HAIL!

But... Did Shanny get selfish and let a surprise playoff run blind him and possibly derail this teams future

[ACW]

10-6 and NFCE champs after getting robbed of $18m and our secondary decimated?

[welch]

Draft a safety or two. This team is getting better. Reminds me of the '71 team, which had holes in different places, but still got a wild-card...first Redskin playoff team since about 1945. Lost in the first round to the 49ers, but went to the Super Bowl the next season.

March on, march on...

[Redskin in Canada]

RgIII played in worse shape than last week . He could not run and his passing was not as accurate due to that bad knee.

The Mara crew did their job. There is a long list of penalties not called against Seattle.

Seahawks had all the lucky bounces. It was not our year but I am proud of my whole team.

indeed.

[grampi]

I will say I'm sick of losing to the Oceanchickens in the playoffs...

[gibbsfan]

Truly sucks of the way it ended but from 3-6 to 10-6 winning the NFC East. Hopefully RG3 will be back 110%

There is more work to be done here but I like what I'm seeing for the future.

I'll be watching the off season closely.

[skinsfan#33]

Would have love to see this game played with a healthy RG3.

I wouldn't let him play in the PB if he is even capable.

[Chris Luva Luva]

Just a few things. I'm proud of this team.

In regards to the game.

- Kyle... You stopped running the ball when it mattered most.

- RGIII, you should have taken yourself out the game.

- Mike, you have to remove him from the game.

- Haslett, great job. You deserve a HC chance.

[Countertrey]

Several things will happen.
Upgrades at Safety and possibly CB.
Morris will hit the weight room... he will become a monster.
RG3 will recover, and will improve his pocket passing skills to go with his other incredible talents.

Go Falcons.

[Smithian]

Today sucked but I absolutely love the direction this team is going.

Took the words out of my fingers... A healthy team and some good off-season picks/additions this team will be close to beast mode!

The way we started this game gave me a lot of hope. A healthy rgiii shreds even the vaunted seacrows a new one. Get healthy

[Hooligan]

Just got back from watching at the bar, and all I could think of was several years ago when we kept trotting out a gimpy Brunell even when his leg injury was seriously affecting his play. Not saying RG = Brunell, but the situation is similar, AND INFURIATING.

[Silnwest]

Hey guys, I just wanted to thank you for being classy on seahawks.net this week, and wish you luck next year. Hopefully RG3 recovers fully and regresses next year... because he scares me to death when he's healthy.

You guys had an incredible run, despite all of your injuries, so you should be proud of your team. This will be my last post in this forum this year, but I hope we can meet again in the playoffs next year with both teams healthy. Good luck next year guys!

(I'm a little drunk so sorry for errors)

[Countertrey]

If RG3 doesn't get hurt on that second scoring drive (including the late hit cheap shot...), the skins win going away. I'm rooting for the Falcons.

Thanks. I agree with CT (if RG3 was healthy, or as healthy as he was in the 1st quarter, we win)...but unlike him, I want the Seahawks to knock the stuffing out of the fraud Falcons. Good luck for your team moving forward.

[Chris Luva Luva]

Mike has to tell Danny to stop being greedy and letting the field get torn up all week long.

[Burgundy&Wha?]

An hour after losing our playoff game. I'm over it. Time to look forward to next year because we do have much for which to be optimistic. Think about it:
-- getting healthy; RG III, Helu, Merriweather, Orakpo, Carriker, Fred Davis all getting healthy.
-- an offseason for Shanahan do further develop this offense. He's creative. I expect good things.
-- adding a few pieces in the draft and free agency. Think any receivers want to come here and play in this offense now?

We have much to be pleased with, much to look forward to. This is a team we can be proud of.

HAIL.

[44diesel]

Indeed!

[Scottskins]

i agree. healthy rg3, it's likely a different outcome. but he wasn't and all that matters is that the hawks won. Great game! I see a lot of hawks skins playoff matchups in the next decade

Why was this thread merged?

[RayNAustin]

It was a major accomplishment .. a virtual miracle that they ran the table to win the East ... I didn't give them a snowball's chance in hell of making that run, at 3-6, so that was a huge accomplishment.

It's disappointing that RG3 was just too banged up to be effective, and we lost today ... but the decision to keep playing him, in my opinion was just the same poor judgement that got him in that condition he's in now, and something I've complained about since early in the season.

Say what you want, and believe whatever ... but it was gut wrenching to see Robert lying on the ground, unable to even try to recover the loose ball. It was apparent that the only way RG3 was coming out of this game was on a stretcher ... and whatever good work you cite from the coaching staff .. and there are obviously some good things .. (I don't deny that) ... you cannot allow that to be an acceptable excuse for the grossly poor judgement that has been ongoing all year in how they have put him in these dangerous situations. And until they stop it ... and I don't think they will ... RG3 is going to wind up being a frequently banged up and injured "running Quarterback" rather than the super star passing QB he has the talent to be.

There comes a point when you have to stop accepting the BS stories about being a pass first QB, when he's actually being used as a "running QB". He couldn't hold up physically, and no one can. That's always been the reality, and this kid has the talent to be more than that, but it takes the discipline and commitment to not take the shortcut or the quick solution on offense.

This Kid is more important to the franchise than either Shanahan. That's just the fact of the matter.

[HTTRRG3ALMO]

I agree with you but it seems that as soon as they started playing Griffin more conservatively, his passing became less accurate. Shanny said in the post game press conference RG3's lowered completions had nothing to do with his knee. For worried reasons, I'd like to believe it was because of his knee.

Then again, we've heard Shanny trying to belittle his injury since it happened.

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the season we have had and still love the coaches. I think we are going to be a terrifying force next season.

Although there's many things to consider about the team, here's a few things I'm stuck on right now:

1. Will RG3 finally listen to doctor's and keep the brace on so he can heal?
2. Does RG3 need surgery (sorry its really worrying, I hate to even ask)?
3. With people coming back from injury, shouldn't we consider another Garcon caliber receiver (after of course we solidify our secondary)?
4. I hope we get rid of Morgan...he's dropped way too many passes that hit him right in the hands.

With a strong secondary, I'd say its time to protect RG3. Another great WR and a couple more O-line guys. Seemed that many plays took too long because receivers couldn't get open.

Just my two cents

[Burgundy&Wha?]

Would like to see another strong wideout. Of course, we do need to strengthen the secondary.

Can we trust Tanard Jackson for next season?

Will Brandon Merriweather stay healthy? Merriweather showed in his brief playing stint here that he could perform well. Can he stay on the field?

How can we best improve the CB's?

Do we keep DHall? Do you release & then resign him at a better cap number? Can he move to Free Safety?

Do we spend money on a RT? Could we/should we pry Phil Loadholt from Minnesota?

Who do we have to groom to eventually replace London Fletcher?

We have a number of things to figure out, but the team is definitely close. Keep the faith.
