Don't think I agree with McNabb's benching in light of us still being in the mix for the playoffs and the OL being horrendous. I haven't had a chance to review the last few games to determine where the problem lies. That being said, wherever the problem lies, Grossman ain't the solution. I also find it hard to believe that Kory L. is better than Dock at LG. KL would be better to replace Rabach. But I'm not getting paid 7 figures a year to fix this stuff and get wins.

Re: Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss
I thought on one that Armstrong throttled down to catch the ball, he still could have turned it on after the catch and split the two safeties. I think he went and cut it back to the outside and got around one safety while the other tackled him.

Re: Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss
Furthermore, how did we go from flying high in the friendly sky McNabb is growing and will be around for 3 years to this cluster mess of we don't have faith in him at all.
I would say it's all because he threw into triple coverage, and essentially, gave the Lions a great chance to win the game, but then why did he get another crack at it right afterwards? |

Oh boy, this doesn't look good...

Re: Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss
We ****ing could have had Lamarr Houston instead of the one-year rental in McNabb. Who wouldn't have loved that 4-3 front? Rak, AH, Houston, Jarmon could have been one of the possibilities.

Re: Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss
Yeah the picks could have given us more depth at least. I am hoping this "controversy" isn't much of a real problem. It was sort of dumb with hindsight being 20/20 to bring him in here with so much building work to do around him.

Re: Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss
Well, in Houston's case we would have had an excellent D-line for the damn future, but once again, Shanahan misses out on a way to improve the defense.

Re: Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss
I'm sorry, but I just have to blame the O-Line on this loss. McNabb couldn't get anything going because he had the whole Detroit defensive line in his face before he could turn around. Either that or Rabach was stepping on his foot! What a pathetic line. And what pathetic coaching AND play calling! And what horrible decisions on the inactive list! It sound like Portis is writing most of the responses to this. I can't imagine any sane person wanting to start Grossman over McNabb!

This is one of those situations that is so ridiculous, something must be happening that we just don't know about.

Re: Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss
Funny how Mr Accountablilty can't be held accountable for his own stupid mistake. McNabb is your best QB, so he naturally would be your 2 minute drill guy also. Guy can dish it out, but can't take it himself. Shanny should have just told the truth, that it was a knee jerk reaction, etc and admit the mistake.

Re: Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss
I'd seriously like to ask Shanahan WTF?! Stop making this situation worse! You ask the players to be men and hold themselves accountable when they make a bad decision so you should be doing the same right now and just admit you screwed the pooch with this decision and are now making it worse by further disrepecting the guy you gave up 2 high draft picks for him to come in to lead your new team. Donovan must thinking this is deja vu all over again.
