Agree, I mean how many of these type of moves do we make before we learn it's not as good as it looks, Deion Sanders, Stubblefield, Wilkinson, Jason Taylor, Bruce Smith, AH, McNabb, and so on... I'm sure you all could add to this list. But remember how excited you were and then how disappointed?

Don't sweat this one.

Seems to be the norm lately.

Yeah who needs Randy Moss , we have Roydell Williams and Joey Galloway

[aceinthehouse]

Not only did we NOT improve our offense or give Mcnabb a true #1 WR target,we allowed the Titans to be better and improve.

We also play the Titans in 3 weeks on the road. And we haven't really played very well against 6'4" or big receivers in case you haven't noticed. (see Calvin Johnson and Andre Johnson)

I didn't criticize Shanny for cutting B.Banks and starting him immediately
I didn't criticize him for the Fat Albert fiasco all off season
and i didn't even criticize him on pulling Mcnabb (yea,I think I'm the only one...lol)

But this is just absolutely and monumentally freakin' retarded Shanny...

You were willing to trade for moss with new England before the Vikings traded a 3rd rounder for him. (we were offering less) as reported by many sources.

But you wouldn't claim him off waivers for free,block the Titans and give the offense 2 weeks to work him in the system for a Playoff run.

Not to mention give Mcnabb a true weapon for when he adlibs on throwing the deep ball.

Shanny..I can officially say..you're a freaking moron and you're FIRED!!

Oh..and you'll tryout "coke head" Matt Jones,but pass on perhaps the 2nd greatest WR to ever lace them up.

Yea,lets stick to Galloway and Roydell

Well guys...it was a nice run,while it lasted.
One thing is for sure....you won't have to worry about me posting 3 game look a head Threads.

Shanny is using this season to put his stamp on the team....Playoffs are obviously not what he is after in his tenured season.

Our FO is obviously clueless and flabbergasted from all the D.C. media stories.
They can't handle it.

Tme to hire Russ Grimm and fire this stupid POS.

You guys above can pretend if you want,that we made the right move and hopefully we did.

But lets hope we aren't discussing this again when we lose to the titans 31-17 and Moss has 6 catches for 158 yards and 2 TD's cause we can't cover him.
OK?

I think it was a 'terrible" football decision,to not claim moss.

Now,the titans will be getting a compensatory pick as well,when they decide to let Moss walk next season and probably net a 3rd rounder or so...

Something,we also need. Draft picks to build this team.

This wasn't a bad move...this was a very stupid..STUPID decision,to not claim him off waivers. imo

We are probably gonna loss 37-17 with or without Moss in a Titan uniform. With that said, I hear ya bro... But there are so many things that happen in and off season that to speculate the future by any move is null.

The fact still stands that we need a O-line. And before we can use someone like Moss we need to address this. Moss may have improved us slightly but McNabb still has no time to hit him.

I'm ok that the Skins didn't pick him up. Although it would've been fun, the o-line should be the focus of the front office. I'm not sure more distractions are necessary this season at Redskins Park.

I lobbied to pick him up, but would he have fixed all our problems? no.

I will say this for those OL, OL, OL fans out there.... if there was a OL worth his weight in gold or could come in and help this team don't you think Shanahan would be bringing them in? He brought in WR's, CB's, and DE's. Notta one OL. That screams volumes. There's also the issue of even if they hired a new OL he would have to sit on the practice squad till he learned the blocking scheme, but if he can't go on the PS then he's taking up a roster spot sitting on the bench till he learns where to block when. He wouldn't be seeing the field until Shanahan was satisfied he knew his assignment.

So even though the player might be better then Hicks, Heyer, and Lickenstien (?) he would be of no use or help sitting on the bench. So can we keep the OL, OL, OL chants to a minimum since we are not likely to see a new one until the offseason. I think the rest of us were just thinking if you can't upgrade one position it doesn't mean you can't upgrade other positions of need.

Do you think Beathard or Gibbs would have picked him up? I don't think so. Vince Jackson, Braylon Edwards and possibly Randy Moss will be available next year.

You know what's crazy? He already had us losing to the Titans in his 14-2 prediction this summer.

[BleedBurgundy]

Just another example of the new consistency. If you don't fit, you don't come here. If you come here, and don't fit, you don't stay (or ride the bench).

[CrustyRedskin]

One teams trash is another teams treasure........ Goodness knows we have had our share of thinking this way here in DC

[SmootSmack]

If anyone can explain post #368...

And for those who keep clamoring that we would get a 3rd round pick for him, re-read this
