Hindsight being 20/20 I agree with you Sir CP. We really needed those picks!!!!! This team is in need of such an overhaul that by the time we have a solid roster in place Donovan will be where Favre is now. Too many holes to fill, and still a sorry ass WR corp. I do not think even our newbie Wrs are the answer either. AA is great for 2-3 long balls a game, but not much more. It will be interesting to see if Austin can do anything, but I would bet not much.

With Snyder as owner, the Skins have NEVER taken the long term approach to rebuilding. The quick fix might feel good at first, but we would be much better served long term if we keep our picks and build through the draft.

Shanahan does not deserved to be cut any slack either. He's a coach trying to be a GM, and the coach, aka the "must try to win every game" mentality, beat out the GM.

We were sold a bill of goods with him as well. He won 2 SBs with Elway, none after that, when his teams were still stacked with offensive firepower in a crappy division. Although I don't agree with a lot of what he says, I think Jason Whitlock of FoxSports might have hit on a grain of truth about MS and the Skins, in that he is just trying to help Kyle become the youngest HC in the NFL. Of course, the big payday doesn't hurt either!!!

I tell ya I know it was a penalty but that late flag really pisses me off it's like they were waiting to see if he scored.

I agree with you here that was a hell of a late flag.

The flag for the Riley block was probably thrown right away. The stupid announcers teased us saying that there were no flags as Banks got to the end zone. Don't blame the refs for that.

Yeah I guess your right. Watching it on the T.V. just seemed like a real late call. The only good thing we can get from this is that Banks has that play maker thing going on.

Maybe it's because our strong safety is ****ing deaf.

That's cool, you came off like it wasn't. Hell I say crazy shit 2. It's all good to bad we lost today.

Also, the phenomena isn't just Fedex, but everywhere. The real fans are locked out because of the outrageous pricing, and you just get s lot of the corporate types in there that really aren't all that into it. I think a part of it is also cultural, as we have been sort of cowed into being less vocal in public.

[skinsfan69]

below average teams self destruct and that's what we did today.

Toughest loss of the season.
