On the other side our 2nd string left tackle looked like he could absolutely care less about the game today and the offensive line was totally dominated by a Bills defense missing it's very best player.
Again, injuries are the excuse for the team that has no leadership or motivation. The other side of the coin (last year's Packers) is a roster smashed w/ injuries but still led to greatness.

They were actually down their top 3 defensive players in this game. Their left tackle was recently their left guard, and it has been shuffled around the past 2 or 3 weeks. All that and we get no pressure, and cant stop the run to save our lives. The future looks very dim in DC, sorry to say. One has to ask the question......If this continues, Is Mike Shanahan the answer for this team? Has the game passed him by?
Is he still coaching because of his name?
and the final question I believe is the most relevant to the overall status of the team. I would hate to even fathom that like alot of free agents did in the past decade, coming here getting a huge payday based on prior exploits, only to perform substandard, or not perform at all, that the coach is also in that boat.
I dunno, but I dont sense any flow in the offense whatsoever. Its a mishmash of stretch plays and short passes that our receivers and qb cannot execute to save their lives.
