Ok well the receivers are one part of what i feel to be the glaring needs here. I shouldnt have mentioned the drops - more just the lack of productivity. I think Moss is probably done after this year because of his age. Robinson and Hank are total question marks. If God forbid Garcons injury is one that follows him ( not claiming to be a doctor just sayin its possible). That leaves us with very little fire power in that department.
Edit : @ Mooby - totally rite. I know drops arent an issue ( ironically i was the one arguing last week against Miss being a career dropaholic and Hank - well he might be one) but the ability to get open would have been a better choice of words.

Before today were you thinking the WRs were a "glaring need"?

Most likely the glaring need was a win in Pittsburgh over WRs.

Do you realize where our offense ranks? Not sure how you can talk about lack of productivity. Today was apparently a off day for all of our WRs. Probably why Kyle ended up running a screen for Paulsen. He was the best out there today.

Before today i didnt care because we were scoring. So i took the who cares how it gets done as long as it gets done approach. But im talking about next year - probably without Moss. Leaves us with Robinson, Morgan, and Hank. Garcon im fine with if he is healthy. Are you totally comfortable with that group?

Assuming Davis comes back 100%, yeah I can live with our receivers as they are now.

Should he be the coach after the bye week? After the season? I think I'm still in wait-and-see mode, but it's been a long time since I've been able to envision a future Redskins team winning under Mike Shanahan. At this point, it sure seems like the Redskins will just be playing out the string, particularly if the Giants hold on today.

A word of warning/advice: obviously this loss seems worse today (Sunday) than it will in the middle of the week. It's totally reasonable to want to change your vote given some time to cool off. I think that's a given, actually.

I generally (and specifically, in this case) do not support mid-season coach firings.
Yeah Snyder fires him at midseason. Are you thinking before typing this?

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

I think we have a good shot at beating Carolina. 4-5 at the bye wouldn't be so bad.

RG- 3 / Morris/ oline. Can you honestly say Hank or Robinson have anything to do with that? Garcon certainly doesnt he is hurt. Morgan? Moss has been pretty decent but the wr's havent exactly carried our offense NC.
Edit: i did not mean lack of productivity from the offense i meant strictly from the wr's.

He is asking for opinions and threw that out there as an option - its a pretty open ended question. You should share your thoughts on your opinion of Shannys job security.

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

I'm a little surprised that Fire has only three votes (for the record, I'm on the fence), because it's a private poll. Not surprised that "No" is in the lead.

How many of you would extend Mike Shanahan's contract today? I'd have to assume between 50-70%...otherwise it would suggest that people are more scared of the alternatives than supporting the status quo.

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

No need to extend him, I'd let him ride out these last 2 years.

2 years is a really long time to ride out, no? 8 games seems far more reasonable.

If these next eight games are the best eight games of the Shanahan era, I see no reason why he shouldn't remain the coach. But the Redskins have already erred on the side of patience here. There's no reason to act irrationally.
