I didn't see the the Falcons board screaming to fire their offensive cordinator because they had two plays that threw passes to a backup center.
Shanahan came in and said it would take 5 years. I'm willing to give him that. He's done a lot of good for this franchise and we are currently 1 game out of the division lead.
I have a strong feeling if we win next week, and go in to NY the following with the division lead at stake. The vibrations of failure could change around here.
Everyone is so easy to scream failure. I understand everyone has different opinions, but this day and age NFL isn't perfect.. People and teams will get better or worse. I believe we are getting better.
Packers got beat by the Colts yesterday, and they are now 2-3.. The worse team in the NFL last year just beat the team that was in the Superbowl. I believe we were an injury away from perhaps winning against a team that is now 5-0 this year.
We are not as far off as people think in my opinion.

Fair enough except the comment about not one team that is perfect. Actually 5-0 is perfect and of course the falcons board isnt screaming- they won? There is a big difference between the skins being in the beginning of their third losing season in a row and last place in the division again and the falcons throwing two passes to their back up center. There is nit-picking and there is being sick of losing. I think anybody that follows the nfl would agree that redskins fans should be a tad bit more upset with the current situation in washington than the falcons fans in atlanta. We are still a team with a lot of question marks and the falcons are a team that is considered a super bowl contender.
That being said - i will leave shanny out of this because like it or not he is here. My positive thought is there is a ton of parody in the nfl and we are not buried in the nfc east by any means. I hope rg3 is back sunday and we win against minn. we have all of our nfc east games in hand and maybe just maybe we turn this around.
