Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

Next time let's just stop throwing the ball, that way we can avoid dropped passes completely!

The one constant this team has had this year is our bad defense. Obviously we know it needs more talent on it, and I think everybody is in agreement Haslett is done after the season, but do people really believe any changes we make mid-season will make a huge difference? How well did Sherman Lewis work out for us? Any recent mid-season pickups made a huge difference down the stretch for any team in the NFL? Damn people. This is the bed we've made. Now we just have to sleep in it.

I happen to agree with the mid season crap but nobody wants to admit that the receivers that cant catch and the D that absolutely stinks is on Shanny. - he drafted and architected this team? I mean I really started to buy into the - we need a couple good secondary players and we are gonna be world beaters but the bottom line is we need
WR's - moss is gone , morgan is ehh , Robinson and Hank are totally up in the air and Garcon is hurt and who knows with that injury?
RT and O- line depth -
Defensive depth across the board
Punter
That is alot of needs still before we can play with the big boys.
Im not sure with the cap hit and lack of first round picks that is going to be possible over a two year period?

Before today I think we had 6 drops all year.

Can't just take the results of one game and draw sweeping conclusions from it. Yes they had a bad day, but at this point I'll chalk it up to being a fluke. Even Moss who was being talked up by some as being our best WR had a crappy day.

We have had two incredibly bad games with regard to basic technique on offense. All those turnovers last week. All those drops today. What is going on?

My two cents....

Do not fire Mike Shanahan! If you do, you will turn RGIII into another Jason Campbell....too many changes of coaches. Plus....I still think Shanahan is a good coach.

I do agree that Hasslett does have to go though.

RG-3 - gee that was a tough call - nobody thought he was gonna be any good - really went out on a limb there

A- mo - great great pick.

TW - check

Kerrigan- check

Starting to run thin now. Probably firgetting a couple good ones but the bad picks outweigh them - so yeah im goin there.

2010 draft was missing a lot of picks and they got a couple good players. Last year was Kerrigan, Helu, royster, hank, and we will see how Jenkins turns out. This year was pretty good of course. Go back to drafts before he arrived, there is literally nothing except Rak.

There is plenty of room to criticize underachieving players after today. This thread could have easily been "should DeAngelo Hall still be employed by the Redskins", but in the big picture, that's irrelevant. Hall will be playing in the NFL for someone next year. That team will not be winning.

Shanahan may very well be on television next year.

So what do you suggest the redskins do if they fire Shannahan? With a salary cap hit, what do you expect? Don't you think we would have signed Grubbs and Finnegan if they didn't have the salary cap hit? Skins have it and Shannahan seems to be working with what he has. I give him until next season. RG III buys him some more time I think.

I completely agree that D Hall should go. He has become more of a liability than an asset.

D Hall needs to go. Honesty, I do not see the Sinks getting rid of him this year, but I also do not see D Hall being on the team next year.

If the Skins can find a replacmemt for D Hall this season, I am all for it.

With all of D Hall's experience in the NFL, he should know better than to get in the face of a ref.

today's loss was almost 100% on dropped balls and bad defense. the WRs haven't had that problem before, so that's really kind of odd, but the bad D was a known problem that does go against the personal decisions that allowed these players to see the field.

worst of our future

I think Shanahan should have until the end of next year before these questions start happening.
