Get this garbage ass mofo out of here!

he sd the TE was responsible with the tackle fanning out to help ... and he took full responsibility for the call - switching it from a run to pass after the colts took a timeout.

he couldnt have been more responsible or accountable if you listen to his post-game presser.


im feel like im in the twillight zone ... are fans really calling to fire a first year head coach who came into this shit show of an organization .. a first year head coach who seems to have a pretty lethal passing attack with JAG qbs as long as RG3 isnt under center ....

6 sacks = problem

49 pts against = problem

insurmountable holes in roster = problem

392 passing yards, 3 tds no ints = not the problem

Haslett has an extensive body of work that says "I am a mediocre DC". That's why he should go if we can get someone who is significantly better.

the solutions are obvious and achievable to me:

1. hire a GM
2. fire haslett
3. increase the college and NFL scouting dept budget so that we are top 15 in scout spending
4. cut/let walk - rak, bowen, pualsen, chester, porter, clark, riley (perhaps roberts, coefield [health questions], and garcon)
5. add a starter level FS, RT, CB1 or CB2, mlb
6. dont go back to RG3

I just found out that Gruden has a fully guaranteed 5-year contract (for some incomprehensible reason since he's a rookie coach), so I think we should all forget about the possibility of his getting fired at the end of the season. It would be bad business.

On the other hand, I would guess that the probability that The Turk will be visiting some assistant coaches at the end of this season is nearing 100%.

The 4th down play where McCoy got blind-sided, I don't know if Jackson was open but it looked like Paul was wide open on a crossing route. Is that on the coach? Or is it on the TE who blew the protection? I'm sure they've practiced and ran that play many times. Sorry but I can't blame the coach on that cause his players are too stupid to know their assignments. This is what really bad football teams do. Blow their assignments and have mental errors.

[JWsleep]

you call a play. The players do not block. What are you supposed to do as a play caller? Assume they won't do what you practiced and planned?

Now, different question: why did the guys blow the blocks? Bad preparation? Bad onfield communication? Something the other team did to throw off our guys? What?

SOunds to me like we've got to simplify things, until we get our shit together. And that means we can't do as much as we'd like. And that means people will be calling Gruden conservative and timid.

Here's my view of the offense and the coaching: the system works fine, even with Colt, the no-armed bandit. We need a better o-line: draft and FA next season. And we need to fix our prep and communication issues. Most likely, that comes with keeping a system in place and working hard to perfect it. And that means keeping Gruden. Plus, there's no one better in the wings, to be sure. Stick with it.

Haslett, on the other hand, has been here five awful years. Time to clean house there. Please.

Oy.

One of the biggest places I would like to see improvement in the offseason is special teams. I don't know how you can get so many penalties on ST. The Skins have the 3rd worst average starting position for drives. Before the Offense even makes it onto the field they are in a hole.

Media reports already saying the team will part with RG after the season.

If we can't trade him him I'd keep and make him ride the pine until his contract is up....

Get Griffin away from here as fast as possible. Period. Beyond the poor play is the perma-drama he brings....full separation is needed.

I guess this means Gary84Clark wont't be trolling this site next year.. That's just another plus for a quick seperation from RG3.

I have no reason to trust such a media report a month before the season is over and firm decisions are made.

[VTSkins1961]

Gruden - same message every press- We have to coach these guys up...... I say lets hold the everyone accountable. (Can't fire owner, damn), Allen needs to go away from personal discisions, if he had a different last name he would've been fired, Haz - gone - go back to 4-3 defense, OC - gone, I give Gruden 1 more year, if no change - gone or demote to OC, dead beat/awful players - gone. Gruden - Oline is okay...whats he smoking......

So sick of this, In Madden I excel with the current players.......
