4 td's and 1 fg would have won the game though.

So would have a stand or two by the D. They blew 3 leads, 2 late.

The main question for me coming into Minnesota was this: will RGIII play better than he did at Houston. Answer: yes, without a doubt. Too bad we didn't win it, but that's the key to the rest of this season. RGIII getting better, making strides, getting comfortable with the O and his receivers. He's played only TWO games this year. That's the problem.

Yeah these are all fair points. I actually thought he was pretty solid. But fair or not, RG3 is held to a much higher standard than journeymen McCoy or 4th rounder Cousins. He had a chance at the end of the half and the game to put points up and didn't deliver. If there isn't a turnover late in the half we probably win the game.

D absolutely lost the game. BUT we have either settled for 3 or been knocked back out of range too many times - and with our shit ass D we need 7 when we have the chance.

That is good to see. I sure as hell hope he has it in him. No pressure really at this point. Lets hope he stays healthy and takes advantage of these last 7 games to really get this O down. Than we can fix the D in the offseason. I am a big fan so far of J. Just something about him I like and believe in.

Haslet is done after this season, might not make it til the end, but make no mistake, he is mos def gone.

Never should have been hired imo. If he gets another gig it would be a real head scratcher.

I hope you guys are right, but I worry that the old ties to Allen and Gruden from the Tusker days. They may keep him around out of "loyalty", even though he should be gone.

Shanahan's teams aways had a bad DC and it was no different in Washington (Wade Philips is slighly above avg.)Without Elway he was just an average coach and it showed here. As much as people critize Al Davis, he was a smart man to fire him. Haslett is a HASbeen and when was hired as DC I knew this wouldn't work out.

Wade Philips is a really good defensive coordinator, bad head coach.

He's good, I like others better.

Might not be an outside search for new d cordinator to replace haslet, might be a battle of internal candidates. Depends on who becomes available from a coupe spots, if the right names arent availble I'd lean to an internal replacement

I like Brian Baker. Lots of experience at different positions in D, time to give him a chance as a DC. Plus he's an ex Terp.

What's the point of having an internal candidate? We need someone new from the outside period.

Haslett is an average DC. But it's not going to matter who we bring in here if he doesn't have players. Haslett would be a better DC if he had better players. I'd be more worried about who's picking the players, rather than who's coaching them. Clark, Merriweather, Hatcher, Porter and Bowen are all pretty sub par free agent signings. There is no excuse for 50 year old Ryan Clark starting as your free safety.
