Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?
 

[quote=punch it in;961324]Too busy with hurticane to break it down. When the Giants started the season last year most of their starting d wad injured. Even twards the end most of their starting secondary was out. I believe Jacobs / And either nicks/ hicks/ or manningham too. If u have the time to find a games missed breakdown please do. Also o-line. Bottom line is i am absolutely positive that through most of their season last year that their injuries were far greater than what ours are now.
Edit: maybe for the playoffs/superbowl they had a fairly large amount of their guys playing but they certainly battled through the injuries and got to that point. A far cry from where we are headed.

Word. The Packers recently had a SB winning season with a record number of starters and regular rotation guys on IR etc.

I don't understand how people try to make the injury excuse, unless it's your franchise QB. The Packers SB season was discussed far and wide precisely because they had sooooo many injured players.

[quote=44ever;961261]Again most of "the team" are injured, which in a way, makes it much more clear who is, and is not taking up the slack. Its hard to see mediocre players when you're winning.

Lets not use the word "clean house" then but rather, [B][I]refine[/I][/B].

Here’s Mike Shanahan, the team’s coach, in the post-game press conference: “When you lose a game like that, now you’re playing to see who, obviously, is going to be on your football team for years to come.” While he did say he “takes full responsibility” for the team’s third loss in a row, he also said he was “disappointed” and that “now we find out what kind of character we’ve got.”[/quote]

He has been "refining" his team for three seasons now. Took a horrid team with a good defense, into a horrid team with a horrid defense who are a part of a larger whole that are now the most penalized team in the league. Bottom in defense, ROCK BOTTOM. This is not the turnaround anyone expected. I love the whole "Shanahan and Allen have changed the entire feel and aura around Redskins Park. The attitude is so much more positive." Looking at this three game losing streak, a 3-6 record, at the bottom of the league in defensive stats, penalties, players acting like fools during games, blaming everyone but your next door neighbor (even if it is in an obscure way), heading downhill the past 4 weeks offensively, I say get this idiot out of here before he really screws the team up for our franchise QB, if there is any time to start new, its RIGHT NOW, with a good young RB, a good young QB as your leader, and one more season for Fletcher to train up his young replacement.

Redskins fans, turning a team around is not a 5 or 6 year process. Its about time we demand more from the team we love. Mike and his little boy ain't cutting it. God Damn it just show him the door so someone can turn this thing rightside up. Plenty of good coaches that would want RG3 and ALMo to turn them into great coaches. Lets fetch us one, instead of one that changes a decent defense for no good reason other than he wants to.

Big difference is those teams had an established base of starters and depth, not a Frankenroster that we've got. We have players from Gibbs, Zorn and Shanahan eras with influence from Snyder, Cerrato and Bruce Allen.

People go on and one about the Packers like that's something to expect from every injured team. What the Packers did in their SB season was pretty amazing and it'll probably not happen for some time. That's like saying that the Ravens won with Trent Dilfer, therefore every other team is grossly overstating the need for a big time QB.


The Packers SB winning team, like the Ravens with Dilfer are the exception, not the rule.

Dont forget about the Giants last year. Read the article i posted. Its all there in black n white. And AGAIN nobody is expecting a damn superbowl but how about a team that can at least be competitive against a 1-6 team! The score yesterday is not even close to what happened on the field. OUR FIELD!

2 times out of 100 years isn't bad.. Don't know why the Redskins are not doing it now with those odds.

I wonder how many of those injury riddled teams had a rookie QB/RB and -50 billion in cap space.

The Giants were mostly healthy by the time the playoffs rolled around.

The article you posted is from 9/10/11.

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?
 

Give him this season and next season, and if we don't win at least 7 games next year or are the best 6-10 team of all times then you think about getting another coach (think, not necessarily pull the trigger). We got RGIII and Alfmo, need to get Garcon and Davis back healthy (Really hope we resign davis). And most importantly fix the secondary and Orakpo's chest muscles! No one in our secondary that has started a game for us should be starting next year.

I know it was but you will see they lost three defensive starters(at least) for the year. Also i pointed out the fact that they were mostly healthy for the run in the playoffs in another post. They still had to make it to that point and fight through the injuries to get to that point. We are a far cry from "getting" to that point. Our injuries are less than theirs were and we have crumbled. No way we will be 7-7 - and in the nfc rite now that would have us in contention for the second wildcard probably.

I did read what you said, but just because a team is 1-6, doesn't mean a team that is 3-6 should just steam roll them.

Records don't mean a lot on Sundays.. If that was the case, then why do we even play? Let's just go on last years records and start the playoffs.

The Packers were an extreme case that won the SB, and Giants to a lesser extent, but you miss the point entirely. We're not talking about winning the SB here. We're talking about just becomeing a competitive team, and there are myriad teams over the last several years who lost talent due to injury and stayed competitive. NE lost Brady for an entire season and still won 11 games (or was it 13, can't remember for sure). That's almost as amazing as what the Pack and Giants accomplished, because losing your franchise QB is huge.

The "injury ruined our season" excuse holds no water, as there are too many cases that prove otherwise.

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?
 

Who asked that question at the end of the press conference?

He's an idiot lol.. Mike never said "We are going to play young guys" Media is so blood thirsty sometimes.

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?
 

The injuries did not ruin our season, the injuries coupled with every other factor have ruined our season. As a matter of fact I don't know if our season has even been ruined. I expected a roller coaster season. Also It's much easier for an established team like the Patriots to get over injuries. When you're a young team that is trying to take it's first big step as a team, injuries are a killer.
