Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Panthers)

[ethat001]

People always overreact. Sure, you feel bad about losing, but as always the sky isn't falling.

1) Beck looked good. One reason he didn't look as good in the first half was they were running 90% of the time. He didn't get a rhythm until the 2nd half. There were 3-5 dropped passes that didn't help, and our defense sucked big time to destroy his chances. We can win with him if our D gets back.

2) Defense What happened? What's up with that talk about a top 5 to top 10 defense?? Was not having Atogwe to back up Hall/Wilson the reason? The D was the reason we were 3-1, and it is one of the reasons we lost the last two games. The first half against Eagles and the 2nd half of this game the defense gave up scoring drives 7 of 9 drives. Like they weren't even playing the game. Given the Bills offense, we're going to have a tough time next week as well.

3) Shanahan will not be fired. That just stupid.
4) Injuries - Every team goes through them, but seems like our best / key players are always fragile. Moss, Cooley, TW, Hightower, Atogwe, Licht.
5) Remember, each loss hurts, but perhaps the silver lining on these is that it was supposed to be a rebuilding year and the losses give us a better shot at a better draft pick /QB.

On the whole, I'm starting to think secondary/CB is a bigger priority than I thought for next year.

I appreciate that (even if that "stupid" remark is directed my way); I just want reassurance he won't be fired. I think he is a solid coach and I want consistency.

Snyder has had a quick hook in the past but he is in awe of Shanny. Unless we completely tank, Shanny isn't going anywhere.

1) for a competent competing NFL team, beck DID NOT LOOK GOOD. he had flashes at the end but overall he showed that he limits an offense and is not an NFL qb. nor is rex or anyone weve had the last 10 years. makes mcnabb and his redskins passing yard setting season last year look pretty good huh?..before he was benched for not calling kyles plays as kyle wanted them called. ..but man we put up yards, points and big plays last year. i think.

2) defense is good. weve played some of the shitty most injured O lines ive ever seen but the D is good enough. not top 5 or 10 but 15ish.

3) shanny isnt going anywhere, unless he walks after next year

4) injuries - almost haf way thru the season we have them

5) losses hurt if you thought this team was 8-8 or better.

this team is improved but we arent going to stop being the skins (good D, pedestrian O) until we get a legit qb . . . year in year out, same crap different year.
