i thought haslett should have been canned a while ago and i do have some sympathy for him in terms of clark or amerson just flat missing their assignments but ....

1. i think our FA approach of spending money on the pass rush and not so much the secondary was in part due to haslett's wish to "get after the qb and everything else will take care of itself" ... haslett is absolutely to blame for us not being able to get to the QB.

2. he is a below average coach at best. good coaches can get more out of less or deal with injuries or mask weaknesses.

he has had some good games but overall he must go.

It's also not his fault when the offense can only put up 3 points after the defense gets three turnovers. I still think he needs to go, but that alone is not going to solve the problems the team has.

I don't think people realize how the offense and defense play hand in hand. If we go up even 17-0 early with those turnovers. It changes the whole game for our defense.

“I saw they had a guy play bump and run on DeSean [Jackson] with a safety, not much help” Gruden said. “So I decided on a play-action pass and launch it to DeSean and try to get it. I got a little greedy. That’s all I can say and we blew the protection.”

Wow...we blew the protection? Is this fcking clown serious? You can't play action and expect Morris et al to protected when they overload one side and send he house. He sounds like RG3. No wonder nobody takes responsibility or is held accountable!

Get this garbage ass mofo out of here!

he sd the TE was responsible with the tackle fanning out to help ... and he took full responsibility for the call - switching it from a run to pass after the colts took a timeout.

he couldnt have been more responsible or accountable if you listen to his post-game presser.


im feel like im in the twillight zone ... are fans really calling to fire a first year head coach who came into this shit show of an organization .. a first year head coach who seems to have a pretty lethal passing attack with JAG qbs as long as RG3 isnt under center ....

6 sacks = problem

49 pts against = problem

insurmountable holes in roster = problem

392 passing yards, 3 tds no ints = not the problem

He didnt take responsibility, he blamed the failure on the player when in fact he was out coached all game long. That sort of play call gets you fired, especially when you can't covert 3rd and 4th downs. If RG3 is lacking in fundamentals Gruden is too. He is so deficient in so many ways...can't call plays...can't convert 3rd downs, can't score in the redzone...the skins weren't this bad last year and we can't blame RG3 since he is not on the field anymore.

I thought we had to go for it there,” Gruden said. “Originally, I had a nice inside power play called, and then when they took the timeout, I saw they lined up and I saw they had a guy play bump and run on DeSean [Jackson] with a safety — not much help. So, I decided on a play-action pass and launch it to DeSean and try to get it. I got a little greedy. That’s all I can say, and we blew the protection.”

“Our tight end should’ve fanned out there [blocking Walden], our tackle should’ve fanned out there [blocking Werner],” the coach explained. “They both should’ve went out to help. It didn’t happen though. It was unfortunate. It was a big play in the game, though. That’s for sure. Should’ve caught it. Shouldn’t have run it. Should have done something other than what I did.”

I don't think we were watching the same team, the last time the Skins didn't look like a dumpster fire was from the second half of 2012.

Amen. It doesn't take McCoy playing lights out, to prove RG3 isn't getting it done. It takes McCoy playing better than RG3, that proves RG3 isn't getting it done. Which happened last game.

I watch Griffin play, and keep anticipating he will fire off a rocket pass that a receiver may have to make a great play reaching up and getting, but will catch in stride for big yardage. Or run circles around ends and linebackers and make great plays. But it's not happening. Had that wonderful stretch to end 2012, inconsistent from injury but still happened some in 2013. He's still regressing in 2014. Time to set aside nostalgia and play the better QB.

Haslett has an extensive body of work that says "I am a mediocre DC". That's why he should go if we can get someone who is significantly better.
