Tubby the head coach sucks. That's why they're sucking. Oh wait, I said that.

Um, they allowed David Garrad to throw 4 tds last week in a game in which they quit (again) and allowed 35 points. They've allowed 35 points again this week and there's still a quarter and a half of football left.

Wade Phillips calls all the defensive plays. He's a gigantic fail. How can you justify having him over Haslett right now? Makes zero sense.

And Haslett is good because what?
Misusing AH for 8 weeks.
Running a great defense into the ground.
Being praised for certain concepts that any good coordinator does nowadays?

Tubby is fine when someone else is doing the motivating, like Marty.

Coordinators don't have to motivate? Heading into this weekend, the Skins led the league in takeaways with 19. Despite allowing the yards, they've kept us in a lot of games. Leading the league in takeaways is hardly "running a defense into the ground." I'm not saying Haslett is great, but he's running a D that's creating lots of opportunities for the team.

Wade Phillips team can't disguise a coverage to save their lives (you'd see this if you were watching any of the Cowboys game last week or tonight), and can't get anyone to play for him. He doesn't have to worry about calling the offense. That's all Garrett. He's basically a glorified D-coordinator, and he's got a group of bums throwing themselves at air out there.

That's 73 points allowed now in the past 7+ quarters....

Wade's D has been getting shredded all season.

Seriously. I can't even really fathom why SirClintonPortis is still trying to fight this fight. They suck something awful. They've allowed nearly 1,300 yards the past three games.

The thing that Haslett has done that has impressed me the most is the adjustments he's made. We got shredded worse than the Cowboys D when we played Houston and St. Louis, and he made adjustments that have improved our defense, although not much statistically. We are still giving up yards, but we have improved our turnovers by a lot and we're not giving up as many touchdown drives, and with him mixing in 4-3 looks that's helping use our personnel to the best of their talent. The defense has improved a lot with the adjustments he's made, and we're easily better than the Cowboys D at this point.

The Skins D in 2009 was not great. The Skins D in 2010 is far surperior to last year's.

Only a testament to how out of touch Blache was, not how great Haslett is. We changed from Swiss cheese to average.

And it's not Super Bowl caliber and it won't be for at least 2 years.

Taking a small sample and building strawmen.
