Shanahan and his incredibly poor communications and leadership skills is letting some of the players take the fall uncontested. The stink is not sticking to him yet so he will keep his mouth shut.
According to the pro-Shanahan posts on this thread it is everyone fault but the Shanahan's. To say we do not have enough talent is a cop out. Teams like Cleveland that had less talent than us when this season started are now showing signs of improvement as the season goes on. That is what great coaches do is coach up their struggling or less talented players and help them improve, not bench them and treat them like they do not belong. Shanahan does not inspire his players.
What alarms me the most and it is getting louder and louder, is all along the way since Shanahan has arrived he continues to show poor leadership skills and make bad decisions.

Of course Shanahan deserves blame. After the Monday Night debacle against the Eagles, Shanahan took all of the blame. Contrary to the claims of the anti-Shanahan crowd, his supporters never implied that he's perfect and the team would be an instant success just because of his presence on the sideline.

And I don't believe it's assured that Cleveland has less talent than us. I'd say the two teams are about even.
