I feel like we might pull an upset with Dallas.

1) changing to 3-4 (and playing Rak as a LB instead of DE like he was in college)
2) Not shutting RG3 down after the Raven's game when he originally injured his knee.
3)McNabb
4) Haslett
5) Burns

I can't stand Shannahan. His OL are constantly too small. I prefer big OL like the hogs of old and Air Coryell offense instead of the west coast offense.
To right this team the whole coaching staff needs to go and we need to go back to the 4-3 and get us some HOGS for OL to play real redskins football

Rak was a LB in the 4-3 before Shanny got here.

I'll give you that and not blame Shanny for putting him there but he could have moved him to DE if we stayed with a 4-3. Biggest mistake was going to 3-4. We needed to improve the defense but it would have been easier by staying with a 4-3

The scheme isn't the problem one bit, it's who he chose to run it. Haslett wanted no part of the 3-4 and would rather run a 4-3. So why would Shanny get a guy who didn't want to run this scheme to be his defensive coordinator? By far, this has been Shanahan's biggest fuck up in DC. Nothing else, and I mean NOTHING else comes close to this mind boggling move. In fact, I should reflect my list more like this..

1) Hiring Haslett
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9) Trading for McNabb and Brown


We would not be in this situation right now had he hired a half way decent DC.

Well since we're just throwing gasoline on the fire. I might as well pile on.

Not true, Not True. NOT TRUE

I would still contend RG3 is a franchise QB though i'm sure his confidence has had to of taken a hit this year.

Watching the replays this morning, it is just amazing how clean of a pocket CK had at times.

It's called having a real OL instead of undersized midgets that get manhandled.

Blunt but true. I'm amazed by the basic maxims of football that Shanahan ignores. Here's one: "Good big people beat good little people."

I don't think I've ever wanted a season to be over as much as this season. Like at least when we've been bad in the past, I could still at least enjoy the football aspect. All this crap is taking ANY fun out of this.

You forgot the not dropping it part.
