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.

Seems to be the norm lately.

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.

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.

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).

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

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

RobH, your Galloway isn't in our long term plans either point is a great one. I'm sorry it's buried in a sea of idiocy

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.

Can't believe so many people wanted to claim this guy. Shanny and Allen are trying to change the culture at Redskins park. They are trying to weed out guys like Moss not bring in more of them.

I think he is saying he doesn't know a good team when he sees one. Just guessing though.

Dear lord! Isn't this the same "We need a team run by Football People" crowd bitching about Vinny & Dan constantly chasing stars.

Hey aceinthehouse & crew, how many Superbowls have you won? Why don't we give the guy who has won a couple more than 8 games before we decide he's a complete idiot.

Ha! Probably. Funny how just a few weeks ago we were guaranteed to go 14-2, and now we need to get rid of Shanahan asap. Yet we didn't have Randy Moss when the 14-2 predictions were flying our way
