I just don't see much good in the product Haslett has put out. He haslet people run and pass all over us (hardy har). But seriously, I feel like he has gotten less production out of the talent that he DOES have, than he ought to have. Now certainly, he hasn't had much to work with in certain areas, but I just feel with everything invested in the pass rush we ought to have one by now.

Well that being said, I won't exactly be sad if he IS fired. Not that anyone is going to come in here and be a magic bullet, but Haslett didn't have TONS of talent to work with. We were constantly playing with a lead last year and that certainly makes things easy on a defense versus trying to come back from 20+ points down.

Would of liked to have seen what MS would have done with all that cap $$$$. oh well I'm a SKINS fan not a coach fan.

No way in hell he stays, I would have fired him and Burns before Shanahan.

Can't imagine Haslett stays on so can't understand why he's still here? Hopefully it doesn't indicate anything about how the FO will operate going forward. The new GM/HC should pick whoever they prefer for DC and why the hell would they want Haslett??

Well heck ,let's let Griff coach the team, no one else is coming to this nightmare of an organization after his BS with Snyder.

What will happen to Wrecks Grossman now that his patrons are gone? Will the dragon never again be unleashed?

Ditto

I think they kept Haslett as the janitor for now, he'll be gone soon enough.

Sounds like mike and Dan really weren't that close

One playoff win in 14 years AFTER ELWAY, guy was a god in denver for a while, and it took them a while to cut bait, cause they finally found out that he rode Elway all the way to the bank and back a couple times. He accomplished jack shit without that guy, and the numbers, statistics as well as his tenure in DC prove it, at least to me. Game has passed this mofo by like a fukkin bullet train. He should give John Elway half of his salary for the past 4 years, cause Elway is the ONLY reason he got this fuckin job in the first place. I don't think there has ever been a more blatant case of a great QB making an average coach seem great.

Proof is in the pudding.

Well John Elway never won a Superbowl unti Mike Shanahan came to Denver, drafted Terelle Davis and installed the ZBS. John Elway had lost more than a step or two and if it werent for Shanahan would probably not have won a ring.
I agree with you that the game has passed him by. Way by. But to say he rode Elway to a couple of superbowls is not accurate and probably the exact opposite of what really happened.
