Washington Redskins wide receiver Desean Jackson expressed anger and frustration on social media after the team’s Week 11 game vs the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when Robert Griffin III blamed teammates for the loss.
It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that Washington receiver Desean Jackson is angry after another loss, this one to NFL basement-dweller Tampa Bay. What should be a surprise is what quarterback Robert Griffin III said to push Jackson to a point where he took to social media to vent.

Let’s start with Robert Griffin III’s comments at the postgame press conference.
Said Griffin, per the linked piece above, “Great quarterbacks, the Peytons, the Aaron Rodgers, those guys don’t play well if their guys don’t play well.”
Naturally, Desean Jackson wasn’t pleased to hear about that.
Jackson’s tweet, which expands in his Instagram, is quoted below.
"Think about it !! In reality they only love u when u doing something for them !! The moment U don’t they Hate U & sayin U ain’t Sh*t !! But at the end of the Day ima Have my own Bac !!"
You’d almost have to side with Jackson here, despite his poor history with quarterback relationships. Griffin threw two interceptions, then stood there in that ridiculous Siberian-looking hat and actually threw his team under the bus when he knew those words would get back to his teammates.
This might explain why even the community has turned on RGIII at this point, putting his jersey on the clearance rack in response to another putrid effort.
Instead of hammering Jackson for another outburst in his NFL career, let’s sympathize with him. Washington is a mess once again and its quarterback is at the center of that mess instead of its solution. If that happened to you, you’d want to rant on Twitter as well.
