Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Panthers)

People always overreact. Sure, you feel bad about losing, but as always the sky isn't falling.

1) Beck looked good. One reason he didn't look as good in the first half was they were running 90% of the time. He didn't get a rhythm until the 2nd half. There were 3-5 dropped passes that didn't help, and our defense sucked big time to destroy his chances. We can win with him if our D gets back.

2) Defense What happened? What's up with that talk about a top 5 to top 10 defense?? Was not having Atogwe to back up Hall/Wilson the reason? The D was the reason we were 3-1, and it is one of the reasons we lost the last two games. The first half against Eagles and the 2nd half of this game the defense gave up scoring drives 7 of 9 drives. Like they weren't even playing the game. Given the Bills offense, we're going to have a tough time next week as well.

3) Shanahan will not be fired. That just stupid.
4) Injuries - Every team goes through them, but seems like our best / key players are always fragile. Moss, Cooley, TW, Hightower, Atogwe, Licht.
5) Remember, each loss hurts, but perhaps the silver lining on these is that it was supposed to be a rebuilding year and the losses give us a better shot at a better draft pick /QB.

On the whole, I'm starting to think secondary/CB is a bigger priority than I thought for next year.
