There was still plenty of time for Detriot to score and they most likely would have. Robinson did not control the ball.

[QUOTE=donofriose;1027921]I haven't been impressed with him or Kerrigan.[/QUOTE]

Kerrigan was never supposed to be the mega stud that Rak was hyped to be coming out of college bench pressing a truck.
Kerrigan at least had more interceptions in his 1st game vs Raks total career. and has played every snap as a skin. Durability is an ability that gets overlooked too much.

Giantone in past years when i expected the season to be over mid October it gave me great pain or comfort depending on whether or not we were better than the giants. All my friends are Giants fans. This year i had high hopes. It isnt helping that you guys look worse.

Firing Haslett doesn't solve anything. Makes it worse. Our d will pick up a new playbook and/or formation in the middle of a season?

Also I don't think Haslett even wanted the 3-4. Wasn't that Ms?

Yes it will, it will make them tackle better and cover better j/k. We had no cap space to improve the secondary this offseason, he basically has the same people with some rookies sprinkled in. Rookies are going to make mistakes and we all know Wilson and Hall aren't that good. All in all they didn't play that bad today, they aren't great then need the offense to help them out.

Just heard on TV during Megatron's post game interview, when asked about playing against the Redskins secondary, he said it was, "Like taking candy from a baby"

I was talking at some guy at Hooters watching the...debacle and I'm like you really think our first choice for shoring up the secondary was Merriweather and Tanard Jackson, etc? Maybe the 18m?

I don't understand the fire Haslett talk either. He blitzed a lot today trying to get pressure. I actually thought today He mixed things up pretty well. We just don't have good players on defense.

Brian Orakpo was a 4-3 DE when he was at Texas. His hand was in the dirt pretty much every play in college.

I think people need to slow down some on the doom and gloom some. It sucks, but we actually played better today than either of the first two games. Some stupid turnovers by RG3 and a dropped TD was the difference today. We should have won but the mistakes on offense kept it from happening.

Eh, not likely. Some here know I've been thinking this for a while. I don't think RG3, Mike and Kyle can effectively coexist much longer. One of the biggest misconceptions about Mike and Kyle is that they just agree on everything because they're father/son. And to be clear, it's just a football thing. They have different ideas. And their franchise QB is unfortunately stuck in the middle. RG3 and Mike aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Well, not RG3 at least. So the right thing would be for Kyle to go. Find his own path. I think, I know, he's earned a strong enough reputation around the league to do so. And, as I've said before here too, he's not a favorite of Bruce Allen. Not saying he doesn't like him. Just saying he's not guaranteed to be the next HC here, nor should he be

That is what I am saying. We can improve somewhat with Oakland, but after the bye, our schedule is killer with playoff contenders from both conferences. I think the O will get back on track, as we have the personnel, but that D is fizzling badly, especially when you have two rooks starting, with at least one looking lost most of the time.

I have not said this at all since he has came here but Mike needs to go so does the staff. They cant get this team to play. And last year we won because of a gimmick offense which obviously we don't run anymore

We do get Jenkins and Rob Jackson back after the bye. Maybe they will help with run defense, but not expecting much.

To me it's painfully obvious that Kyle doesn't seem to open the offense up until we're in passing situations. Example...why throw a wr screen on 3rd and long in the 1st q? He doesn't seem to completely trust RG3, not to say I blame him. Too many short passes.

Thing is a lot of folks think Mike and Kyle are joined at the hip and are a one package deal. A lot of people in here think that. I have no real opinion on the matter because I don't know if that is the case or have real access up here in Detroit to any inside info about that. Seems to me though the father and son thing is fairly deep for Mike to bring him in here. When this all first went down with MS coming, a lot of folks said that he wanted his son to take over from him as coach. Mike has a lot of $$$$$$$ already, so getting canned isn't going to hurt him, and he might get another job real quick(Jax) Another factor that I touched on is the worst case scenario where we go 2-14, 1-15, or dare I say it 0-16 and Snyder is forced to sack all of them. If that happens the new HC might want everything new, including his own QB that fits his system, and the stupid merry go round continues for who knows how much longer. The soap opera continues. Not even Vince McMahon can write this stuff!

Run defense wasn't that bad to be honest if you look at the stats. Bell is a big boy and with the exception of a handful of runs they hit him good. When Nate Burleson can totally smoke all 4 DBs, you are in trouble. Nate is a great WR, but he isn't a spring chicken anymore and on the verge of retiring in a few.

Maybe the case but minus one or two successful seasons the guy doesnt exactly have a track record of winning. Great coaches make the most out of what they have. He has not. He has actually made one of the worst defenses of all time.
