RG3 FINALLY HURTS HIMSELF ENOUGH FOR SKINS TO BENCH HIM

Coach Mike Shanahan never imagined finishing the Redskins season with a back-up quarterback, but after Robert Griffin III could no longer play on his one good leg, that's exactly what the 2-time Super Bowl winning coach was forced to do on Sunday night.

While on the sideline, RG3
prays that he won't be asked
to go back into the game.

RG3 went down late in the fourth quarter --not from being violently hit like he was earlier in the season-- but after being unable to retrieve a low snap that he just couldn't maneuver quick enough (or at all) to fall on.  Most Redskins fans at FedEx had initially thought that the poor playing surface was all that was to blame, until they remembered that Griffin had essentially been playing with just his left leg since the injury occured during the Ravens game a few weeks past.
"With Robert lying face down, I could hear [Dr. James] Andrews shrieking behind me on the sideline," Redskins coach Mike Shanahan explained during the post game, "but I figured I'd wait to see if Griffin still wanted to play before I made that decision for him."
You'd think a coach that won 2 championships with arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play would know how important it is to keep a franchise QB healthy.  But apparently, Shanahan felt that the 7-game winning streak going into the playoffs was due to their kicking game.  RG3 covered for his superior afterwards saying that, "...if coach wanted me to throw while hoppin' on one foot, then I guess that means I'm still the best option for this team."  While Kurt Cousins was probably not thrilled with that response, somewhere third stringer Rex Grossman was nodding in agreement.
Surely the burgundy and gold faithful will have plenty to cheer about in the future, but as for now, they're gonna have to spend the next few months wondering why Mike Shanahan's son, offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, continued to design plays that would eventually lead to Griffin's painful and uncomfortable off-season.
