Marty is great.... Until the playoffs. He has always built a solid team but just couldnt reach that next level. I do think he got a raw deal in SD
Get Mike Martz!!!! lol jk... hey, at least with him we would throw the ball downfield and be aggressive on offense.

Stop gap head coachs? Ok........hmmmmm...weird....letting it sink in....no.....i am pretty sure.....wait....yeah they are not stop gaps!

Shanahan and Holmgren would be around about 3-5 yrs and would be looking to retire. Holmgren already stepped out of Seattle, you think he wants to coach another 7-10 yrs? Shanahan was fired, but he is getting up in the age as well.

Ok, whatever. Last time I checked NFL coaches don't really stick around all that long.

Personally I like to see Shanahan come here jsut becasue I am tired of watching Redskin football being played like a monkey trying to f--k a football. I just want to see TD's and lots of them!

I dont want Cowher, although he does bring alot of emotion to the game. I dont think he would accept the team playing like this, and wouldnt hesitate in calling out the problem.

Id rather see someone with a more offensive mindset. The NFL is now a passing league, and having someone more innovative with the playcalling would help tremendously IMO. Is there any young offensive coaches out there equivalent to Spag's and/or LeBeau's defensive playcalling?

Anyways....if we lose the Detroit game, its gonna be very ugly.

Ok sign me up please, because Zorn's the furthest thing from innovative. Like I said, the people around me at the game must have thought I was psychic. Im a dumbass fan, but even I could predict Zorn's playcalling 95% of the time.

Do opponents even gameplan us running to the right? A nice bootleg every once in while would help the run a lot too.

Not in the Red Zone! I sincerely doubt that you could have imagined a WR screen to the short side of the field inside the 10 yard line against the Giants or a HB pass on 3rd and goal at the 5 yard line against the Rams. I know I couldn't.

Nope...agreed thats a good thing. I just dont see Cowher being a huge help to our offense, which is the real problem. Id like to see Jerry Gray given a shot at defensive coordinator.

Cowher knows that Defense and running the football--winning in the trenches-- wins championships. Look at the teams in the past decade that set new scoring records, not many hoisted the Lombardi the same yr they did so. Viks,Rams,pats

Detroit should be a win. We have a great chance to be 3-1 going to Carolina. It's a long season and if we can improve we'll laugh about scoring 9 pts against the Rams. Our D is going to be there all year, so we'll have a chance to win alot of games.

You know what is an epic fail? The reporters that asked questions at today's press conference. They asked the most bland generic freaking questions.

They are lazy muppets!

Could we please do away with the idea that the Redskins typically play down to the competition? They're just not good enough for that myth to apply.

Red Zone offense is a major problem for them right now, not just against teams like the Rams but against everybody.

Exactly, good teams do not play down to anybody. They beat the shit out of them like the Pats, the Boys or Niners of old.
