Agreed, they seemed to only give up in the first half and the defense in general. Once again, I think the Pats game was worst, at least they put up 28 points this time.

Hey we have the best divisional record still.LOL Game started bad and went down hill. Our D & O are ranked at the bottom for a reason and it showed tonight. They scored so quick we did not have any chances for any trunovers which is the only thing saving us all season. I'll probably stick to the parking lot for a few days as this site will be fire everyone thread after another. I will say I was impressed with how the players did not give up.

We are just making dumb moves in the FO, and that was t he basis of my early rant. We do things half assed or backwards, and on top of that just have bad luck to top it off. We get a 6 time Pro Bowl QB, but put him behind a terrible O line, with a crappy WR corp. The $78 million extenstion is a huge waste of $$$$$$ because of these facts. We might get a Wildcard spot at some point with Donovan, but I think you can forget even a divisional crown. By the time we get a proper line in place DM will start to morph into Brunell. Don't get me going on the D. IF we get Eli on one of his "on" days the Gmen will get 40+ on us. Although AA is coming on as a threat, Moss is starting toward the downward slope of his production, and will probably be decent for 2 more seasons, if that. The rest of the guys are just bums. Austin should have been given a shot. Not giving the kid a shot sort of negates the reason for drafting him in the first place, and a linemen should have been drafted in his place. We were hoping the bringing in of Allen as GM would have solved at least some of the boneheadedness of the FO, but the demons still need to be exorcised from Redskins Park I guess. So far in 2010 the only bright spots are Banks, AA, and K Williams. Donovan is a better QB than JC, but his stats sure aren't really showing it thus far. We might have to wait for 2012 til we get a winner, and that is if we are able to retain anybody on defense worth retaining.

Landry should be benched for the pregame fight. That would be the right message to send after this game.

There are still 10-12 vets that need to be cut from this team. I still think we can win 7 games this year but we need honestly need to play our younger players sooner than later to determine whether they are worth keeping or not...

Seriously?

We are two games out, 2-1 in the diivision and haven't even played the Giants yet. Why pack it in already?

In some ways I think this game is exactly what the doctor ordered...I'm not happy about it, but maybe, just maybe this embarrasment at home on national television will be used to light a fire under all Asses that need lit up...

Shanahan and Allen both are a joke.

Well, they've built a bad team.

I'm not advocating for the firing of either, as I don't believe that firing Shanahan after one season could possibly lead to a better coach than Shanahan, nor do a believe that one offseason is enough to evaluate Bruce Allen.

I do think Shanahan was a poor hire at this point in his career. I thought that at the time we did it, and I thought it was a disastrous decision to let him hire his son as offensive coordinator. Who thought that could possibly work? His record with defensive coaches is...not good, though I think he brought some decent coaches in with him on his staff (McCardell, Spanos).

But I also believe you shouldn't compound a bad hiring with a worse firing. I think Shanahan needs to be accountable for what has gone wrong here that he had control over (the offense), and that he should have one more year to fix it. If we struggle again next year (or 2012, whenever we play football next), I think a termination is justified.

We are not as good as we thought. We need to clean house on players and start the youth movement here in Washington.

I don't believe there was anybody else better for the coaching position that were interested in coaching the Redskins. By that, I would say hiring Shanahan was the best thing Snyder and Allen could have done for this team. The biggest problem is, this team somehow needs to find a way to reverse the mentality of free agency first, draft picks last. The teams needs to learn to build through the draft and look at the offensive and defensive lines FIRST! You can't build a great team without being solid in the trenches.

My main concern w/the hiring of Shan was this; Denver was one of the only teams that rivaled the fa spending of the Skins when he was there. His hiring, along w/Allen, was billed as a big change, but so far we have seen more of the same. To be fair, Allen has made some good deals & has shown more fiscal discipline, which was much needed. Still, valuable draft picks have been given up.
