Because he knew it'd get back to the media and it makes him look good. RGIII is a smart kid.

dont listen to the "media hype".

why must media insist that RGIII is hurting??

he sat out the rest of that game against the Ravens
he was out at the Browns
came back against the Eagles: didnt need to show much and they won
played against the Cowboys in a Win or Done situation: didnt need to show much but still was able to run. although; Morris had a career night.

there was no need for RGIII to more than what he did the last 2 games.

anyway;
its GAMEDAY!!!!

The thing is, the Redskins knew they could run on Dallas. Plenty of players hurting, and they kept running at Ware who was powerless to stop anything as he was playing hurt. I mean, have we seen anything from RGIII in the past three games? The Seahawks have little film of RGIII to work off of with him going full strength, so I expect some newer things that have been kept under wraps. Very smart decision, how they played things down the stretch. They didn't overplay their hand, like the Vikings did against Green Bay (though not having Ponder didn't help.)

What is everyone's thoughts on London Fletcher? As much as I love the guy, I think he needs to call it a career. He's possibly the slowest linebacker in the league right now and he's trying to arm tackle a lot for some reason.

He still does pretty good in zone coverage, and is a leader out there. I'd certainly like to transition someone into the role of defensive leader over the next season, the new guy who is going to wear the headset and be able to make adjustments on-field. I think that guy could be Kerrigan, and I'd like to see the Redskins draft an inside backer early to start getting some reps behind Fletcher.

i cant tell what play in the game "re-aggrevated" RGIII's knee but in the 2nd half, it was obvious that he was hurting. he looked great in the 1st half, the team played great and was rolling.
Defense still kept us in the game; all the way to the 4th qtr when Cousins came in..........

Hankerson dropped a critical 3rd & 8 pass at the 8min mark, at mid-field. that was big.....
Seahawks converted a huge 3rd and 12, on a TE dump off to Miller, which just killed us.

i would have loved to have seen the Redskins win this game, but risking RGIII in the 2nd half was a little too much. when he ran that 9 run.......i mean hobbled, i thought for sure they were going to pull him out.
his knee just kept getting worse.

anyway;
it was a GREAT RUN..........i loved every minute of our 7 game win-streak to take the division and get to the playoffs.

if he only slid on that play against the Ravens, we would have a healthy RGIII that could have been a much greater run

Normally I'm not a big fan of the opinion pieces from ESPN, but this is from the guy who covers the NFC East teams and it's actually really good. Very long, so I'm not posting all of it. This one part probably sums up a lot of our thoughts on it:

I say they got that wrong, and that letting your franchise quarterback stay in a hyper-intense football game on a sloppy field when he's favoring an already-injured knee is a high-level mistake. I give Shanahan credit for admitting that he may have made the wrong decision; I just believe it's clear that he did. In hindsight, for sure, and from the consequence-free comfort of the press box while it was ongoing. But the fact that it was hard for Shanahan to see the right decision does not excuse him from failing to make it. He gets paid $7 million a year to make the biggest decisions for the Redskins, and he whiffed on this one.

With the field being as bad as it was, and clearly being re-injured somewhere late in the first, he should have been pulled at half-time. I could understand this decision if we were like the Falcons, and had something to prove by needing to win this game. However, the Redskins won seven straight to get into the playoffs, were playing on a bad field where a Seahawks player tore his ACL, and as division champs in RGIII's first season here, had nothing to prove. Let Cousins go in and try and move the ball. If the Redskins could have gotten a TD drive out of Cousins, and some sustained movement, they probably would have won the game, as the defense did a good job of holding the Seahawks offense through the third, and just got gassed with the offense not helping them.
