Its time guys know you dont come here for the paycheck any longer.

If you can't read between the lines, Mike is ready to clean house.

The first thing MS did when he got here supposedly was clean house - get rid of all the problems and bring in young players with good attitudes - supposedly. So now after three years if he has a bunch of slackers doesnt that fall squarely on his shoulders. I mean the team that literally did not show up for two weeks is his team. I will give him a pass because i think his words were misunderstood - i think he was saying we are going to take a look and see who is going to fight through this season. Regardless of the message he was trying to send though - the team he has built has become an epic fail and i will not give him a pass on that. No way. No how.

Again most of "the team" are injured, which in a way, makes it much more clear who is, and is not taking up the slack. Its hard to see mediocre players when you're winning.

Lets not use the word "clean house" then but rather, refine.

Here’s Mike Shanahan, the team’s coach, in the post-game press conference: “When you lose a game like that, now you’re playing to see who, obviously, is going to be on your football team for years to come.” While he did say he “takes full responsibility” for the team’s third loss in a row, he also said he was “disappointed” and that “now we find out what kind of character we’ve got.”

He has been "refining" his team for three seasons now. Took a horrid team with a good defense, into a horrid team with a horrid defense who are a part of a larger whole that are now the most penalized team in the league. Bottom in defense, ROCK BOTTOM. This is not the turnaround anyone expected. I love the whole "Shanahan and Allen have changed the entire feel and aura around Redskins Park. The attitude is so much more positive." Looking at this three game losing streak, a 3-6 record, at the bottom of the league in defensive stats, penalties, players acting like fools during games, blaming everyone but your next door neighbor (even if it is in an obscure way), heading downhill the past 4 weeks offensively, I say get this idiot out of here before he really screws the team up for our franchise QB, if there is any time to start new, its RIGHT NOW, with a good young RB, a good young QB as your leader, and one more season for Fletcher to train up his young replacement.

Redskins fans, turning a team around is not a 5 or 6 year process. Its about time we demand more from the team we love. Mike and his little boy ain't cutting it. God Damn it just show him the door so someone can turn this thing rightside up. Plenty of good coaches that would want RG3 and ALMo to turn them into great coaches. Lets fetch us one, instead of one that changes a decent defense for no good reason other than he wants to.
