[QUOTE=NC_Skins;961273]Please break down how many were injured and for how long. I'm not buying this.[/QUOTE]

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.

Edit

Prince Amakamura, Terrell Thomas (their best cover corner) kenny phillips/ antrel rolle - they all missed the entire season or a large part of it. That is basically their entire Starting secondary last year. Linebackers/ dline heavily hampered too.

Never gonna happen.

I agree that he's the kind of guy this franchise needs but he s not leaving the situation/team he already has in place in New Orleans.

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?
 

Funny quote I saw someone post on yahoo sports.

"Shanahan is far and AWAY the most overrated coach in the league. I hope he mails portions of his checks to Elway and Terrell Davis."

[quote=NC_Skins;960737]Zorn never had 6 quality starters out due to injury either. That's a lot of production gone.[/quote]

BOO HOO. After Shanahans basically given up, with a 33% win% in year THREE after three years of "rebuilding", you are really going to give him a pass like that? It must be nice to be ignorant to reality. Wish I was there. Thats ok, NCSkins, there is always next year, or should I say 3 years from now...............

when are you gonna get tired of the excuses and delaying the inevitable? The blind faith in this POS is laughable, to say the least.

Mike has been all too quick to pass the buck, and doing so onto the players is the worst thing a coach can do.

I just don't buy the premise toward the end of the article this franchise has to be married to Shanahan because of RG3, in fact I think it's closer to the opposite of the reality. RG3 is a phenom that any prospective HC would love the opportunity to mold and build around.

Wow, never figured you for a "Fire the whole damn lot of em" type of guy. Welcome to the club!!!!!!

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.

:lol::rofl: But the front office and organization just loooooove Kyle and he was going to be the next head coach.

[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.
