speaking of davis, he's been impressive.

Yep, nobody talking bout him either. He had a couple monster blocks on the edge yesterday.

Seriously need to work out an extension

[punch it in]

I dont recall to many drops by Moss and think he would have been a number one on seversl other teams - browns - bucs- rams- bears are a few that come to mind that over the last several years he would have been a number one on. That being said rite now i agree he is not our best wr. Still serviceable. But not our best. As a matter of fact minus the big play yesterday hes been virtually invisible.

The Skins played a good game against a good team and we came up short. Heartbreaking yes; tear all part and start over no.

The RGIII injury was the play of the game. IT knocked the Skins out and lifted up the Falcons who were in the makings of being caught in a trap game.

Moss isn't our best WR, and we are paying them to block also. They all need to perform better.

The Redskins are dead last in 3rd down conversion percentage (23.3%). In the Falcons game, we went a despicable 1-9 on third downs, our yearly total so far is 14-60. While we have holes in the defense and our kicker sucks, very few teams are going to win any games with such an atrocious 3rd down percentage. This crappy conversion percentage is the reason why the Saints and Bucs almost came back on us, it allowed the Rams to beat us, and it didn't help us keep up with the Bengals and the Falcons.

I don't know what the hell Kyle has can do, but we can't have any more situations where we don't convert on 3rd and short in the opponent's side of the field. I know the defense is wildly inconsistent, but we missed out on at least three quarters of our defense keeping a top offense at bay on Sunday.

Noticed a couple drops on third down and couple passes behind the receiver as well. This will improve by sheer probability.

I did. He had a horrible punt but overall he's a good punter. Not someone I would even think about replacing.

Hire the best GM available. We can talk all day about who that may be, and I'd even go so far to say Bruce Allen could be a consideration. But regardless, from that point on it's a simple "you're fired" all the way down the line with the possible exception of Morris...the only coach on the roster to coach a winning team so far this decade.

I'd take either coordinator from Cinci. I'd take either from San Fran. I'd even take Gregg Williams and Al Saunders back.

You know I'm probably too far on the stay the course side of things.

I just don't think we could attract any proven talent here. If I'm a top gm candidate would I really want to go somewhere that has a huge cap hit and no first round picks for the next couple years.

And I I'm a coach like gruden, cowher, or another top name do I go some place where MS, a potential HOF candidate, just failed.

The type of people we would attract would be the guys that can't get a shot elsewhere. We could wind up with the next mike tomlin, but it would be a longshot.

I agree we're unlikely to attract another legacy GM or coach right away, and am fine with it. However, I wouldn't be opposed to Bruce Allen remaining the GM for another couple years.

I can't stop wondering if Jeff Fisher would have come to DC? It's very impressive what he's doing with the Rams. By next season St. Louis will be another 1 to 2 year turnaround story.

What exactly is Fisher doing?

Encouraging guys to play after the whistle. Of course it also helps that that is a proven formula for success, based off his many, many championships with the Oilers/Titans.
