if Shanahan goes, then its all over. the idea of RGIII being the franchise QB will be gone too.......
Redskins and Snyder are in a catch 22. look really dumb by throwing that all away
OR
stick with Shany and RGIII, and go Do or Die.

the whole idea was to bank on the future of the trades for RGIII and Shany, molding a solid Franchise QB.
thinking that this season was about, be a pocket passer 1st, then look to run out of pocket.......

anyway;
if a team offers a 1st rounder for Cousins......take it. we need a 1st rounder next year.
bring Pat White back and its settled.

You may be right about RGIII moving forward if Shanahan is not retained. However, I would think Snyder and Allen would know that they've invested quite a bit in RGIII, and that their next hire would be someone who has innovative ideas with how to build the team around RGIII, and someone younger who can relate to him better. That honestly would be the best move I think.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Fletcher is done following the year. That will hopefully make a tough decision into one we don't have to make. I would love Fletcher back next year, but not as a starter, and I don't think he would take well to that.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Humble, I think the Shanahan clock is ticking right now. Snyder and Allen were reportedly at Redskins Park late last night running through what their options were.

I'm thinking they will let Shanahan go if he doesn't want the rest of his money, so he can start pursuing other jobs, likely Houston. As far as an interim HC, I can't imagine it's Kyle or Jim Haslett, as both will be gone next season. The only options I can think of that could still be here are Chris Forster or Raheem Morris.

Beginning of the end

On Dec. 8, 1940, only a day shy of one full year before the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Washington Redskins suffered the franchise’s own notorious day of infamy, losing the NFL championship game to the Chicago Bears by a remarkable 73-0 score. Exactly 40 years later, on Sunday, the club absorbed another ignominious defeat, falling behind the Kansas City Chiefs 31-0 before dropping a dismal 45-10 decision.

No denying it’s terribly inappropriate to compare the Skins’ two historic loses to what transpired in the Hawaiian Islands on Dec. 7, 1941, and we’re not suggesting there is any kind of approximation of the events. So hold the comments and e-mails, please, because we acknowledge that. One, after all, led to World War II. The others were just losses in football games, hardly comparable in the real-world, big-picture view. In viewing the 2013 Redskins, however, the big picture is mostly ugly.

And the future employment of coach Mike Shanahan certainly is murky.

At best.

its just lots of media hype after that ridiculously embarassing loss to the Chiefs........
media thinking that somebody's head has to roll.
i will believe when i see
but
until then; i will believe the coaching will stay.

the same way i believe RGIII was gonna start on opening day.

I would give Shanahan another season. I would probably can Haslett. This defense just has not progressed like we thought it would, and I know the secondary has sucked this year but our front seven still plays relatively well. The entire defense actually has held up for the most part in previous weeks, they just lose it late because they've been on the field so much. That would be the only way I'd think of not canning Haslett.

Right now, Snyder doesn't come out of this looking well if he lets Shanahan go before his contract is up. You really devalue the position if you don't let him finish out.

Cousins starting..interesting

what does that mean ?

what does that mean ?

It's an advanced statistic, but it just confirms our special teams are horrid. We have a good punter and a good kicker, that's about it.

off season is gonna be like;



AND

 

[ThomasTomasz]

All I want is for DeAngelo Hall to be gone, and Aquib Talib brought on board. After that, I don't really care what happens, depending on the coaching change.

Hall actually did a much better job than last year
AND
was better behaved than i really thought he was capable of doing.

not to mention; he covered all the Superstars all season....
from Megatron to Dez.

 

[x0xHumblex0x]

i dont like the fact that RGIII was benched.........

anyway; this was interesting to me: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap20...l-irvin-on-rgiii-would-they-bench-andrew-luck

At least Robert Griffin III and Kyle Shanahan are on the same page about something . . .

 

[ThomasTomasz]

And we thought the dysfunction was over with Mike Shanahan originally coming on board. How things change, and then become the same again.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

I'm fully expecting Shanahan gone now. I hope we don't go the direction of the Baylor coach, or for Lovie Smith. I'm really hoping for Roman from the 49ers or Bevell from Seattle. They do what the Redskins want to do, are young innovative coaches and can certainly relate to RGIII.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

I can't remember in a time in this area where Redskins fans have not cared at all about a Cowboys game. This is just too depressing.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Also depressing are the amount of cheers I am hearing on my TV. I understand not caring anymore, I understand wanting to make money off your tickets and helping pay off the obscene amount that season tickets are, but don't sell them to Dallas fans.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Let the speculation begin on whether or not Moss lined up wrong on that last play on purpose or not…...
