In what world is 7-9 a successful season. Losing = success? Interesting concept.

WTF man???
MY guess is that he was not suppose to throw to RGIII unless he was wide open.

given the circumstances, i can pick up what he's putting down.

call it making excuses or tapered expectations.

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

This is a silly thread. Our offense is finally good and our defense got screwed as a result of the salary cap penalty. We had a bad game on offense yesterday with a bad case of the drops. No Fred Davis, no Garcon, lots of dropped balls. It looked like the players on offense were playing tight against a great defense. Our secondary is garbage without having Orakpo there to lead the pass rush. Even with the current coaches, I think we could improve a lot with some good free agent targets and draft class to fix the back end and build more depth in the front. A middle of the road defense with this offense would have us competing for the division title. Anyone remember the calls to fire Tom Coughlin before his superbowl run? Why fire the guy who has put us right on the cusp of where we want to be? Fire Haslett? Maybe, but only because I believe he has limited upside, not because I think he is incompetent.

It's delayed/deferred success buddy. I just figured out most of the Warpath contributors are K-12 teachers

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

The shannahans really are not the problem, and while people want to complain about the wins and losses, this team is inarguably going in the right direction. The one man i would be willing to clean house and start over with is Jon Gruden. Him and griffin would form the most entertaining, swagger-based football tandem in the history of football, and could be very very talented. That being said, the last thing i want is griffin to go through what jason campbell went through with the spinning door of coaches, coordinators, etc that could have contributed to his struggles to ever establish himself.

exactly, thats kinda why I fear Kyle leaving because RG3 has thrived in the system in such a short amount of time. When Kyle leaves I hope they bring somone in who sticks with a similar system at the very least.

Agreed offense been a bit worst every week but not bad its still good.

Our wr. Been not that good other than moss now .

People ovee hype shanny alot we will have another losing season but its bexause we refused to fire haslett last year.
