As a Cowboys fan, nothing entertained me more than watching Mike Shanahan attempt to destroy RG3's career for little gain.
1. They were not going to win the Superbowl this year. Too many holes, too little depth, too big a gap between them and the league's elite. Winning the division was more than they could expect, why risk the player they mortgaged the fanchise's future on?
2. Once Seattle figured out he was half-speed at best, they locked Morris down and dared RG3 to throw one-legged into coverage. After the two touchdowns, the Skins got 3 first downs until RG3 went down in the 4th quarter.
3. That field was a disaster. Granted, the Skins ground crew haven't had much need in recent years for maintaining a decent surface in January, but I'm amazed RG3 survived as long as he did.
All in all, a typically stellar job by the Skins' franchise. I've lived here 20 years and they seldom disappoint.![]()
