Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Panthers)

Lol M3420 is getting killed and he wasn't even wanting MS fired

Pretty much my gut* told me that Beck would spark the offense. He delivered...a little late, but he still delivered.

*Same gut told me that Rex Grossman would give life to an offense Donovan McNabb was unable to. I'm 2-for-2!!!!!

High Football IQ...Thank you for being a voice of reason were sitting here panicing like were the eagles or colts

I propose we put a moratorium on using the term "high/low football iq." It's being overused way too much today.

People always overreact. Sure, you feel bad about losing, but as always the sky isn't falling.

1) Beck looked good.

2) Defense


3) Shanahan will not be fired. That just stupid.
4) Injuries -
5) Remember, each loss hurts, .

1) for a competent competing NFL team, beck DID NOT LOOK GOOD. he had flashes at the end but overall he showed that he limits an offense and is not an NFL qb. nor is rex or anyone weve had the last 10 years. makes mcnabb and his redskins passing yard setting season last year look pretty good huh?..before he was benched for not calling kyles plays as kyle wanted them called. ..but man we put up yards, points and big plays last year. i think.

2) defense is good. weve played some of the shitty most injured O lines ive ever seen but the D is good enough. not top 5 or 10 but 15ish.

3) shanny isnt going anywhere, unless he walks after next year

4) injuries - almost haf way thru the season we have them

5) losses hurt if you thought this team was 8-8 or better.

this team is improved but we arent going to stop being the skins (good D, pedestrian O) until we get a legit qb . . . year in year out, same crap different year.

lol mcnabb gave us about 10 games of the most exciting explosive offense we have seen from a qb in b&g in 15 plus years (minus todd collins 4 or so games). . . id bet money he had the most 20 yards plus plays per attempt of any qb the past 15 years.

pretty sure if he wasnt pulled he was on pace or near pace to set skins single season passing yards record. . .

Yep.. All Becks fault for this loss.. We need a legit QB to fix these issues. I mean, him throwing the ball into the WR/TE's hands for drops, and throwing 100% accurate back shoulder fade routes to WR who also drop them is totally his fault.

Not to mention that horrendous sense of feeling pressure and running in for a 4 yard touchdown? What was he thinking? My Redskins don't do that... They are much more content on taking the sack there and settling for 3 points.

At least Gano is good.. Totally should of kicked that guy off the team last year. What are we thinking? I mean.. Allowing players to develop into good players? Totally disgusted...

John Beck.. WHAT where you thinking when you threw the ball between two defenders and low where only Fred Davis could of caught it for the touchdown? Come on man.. You have only played 5 quarters and you are our leading rushing in touchdowns for piss sakes!!!

It's totally getting absurd that this team is PACKED with talent and our QB is holding us back from winning..

I mean.. Bradford right now is living the life. He's a great prospect to be a great QB. He has all this talent around him, and it shows!!! WR's catching every ball, and having a healthy backfield that can produce yards to help the passing game!!!

Man.. We are on our way folks.. Just a QB draft away!! I'm so pumped.

Forget three years ago, this team is one of the worst talented now.

I don't mind losing if losing is productive in the big picture. Losing isn't fun but watching young guys do well is. We have one young guy playing at a high level: Kerrigan. With pretty much the whole roster being in it's prime, the results are as good as they will get under this leadership. Adding a quarterback in the draft wouldn't have changed the result of today's game unless we could have jumped on them early. No matter what the gameplan ultimately is, you have to be able to throw the ball early to get a lead.

I don't agree that it's one of the "worst talented", and I don't agree the "whole roster is in it's prime". The main difference now vs. three years ago is that Shanny's placed some youth in key positions for the future -- nucleus of our talent is now younger. Orakpo, TW, Kerrigan, etc -- all could get a lot better over the next few years.

Shanny's moves:
- Kerrigan - young, great so far
- TW - young, has shown flashes, still not consistent but overall good
- Bowen/Cofield - relatively young/in prime (27), have at least 4-5 years left, been good overall
- Carriker - young, in prime 27, good overall, gotten for rotating draft picks
- Atogwe - aging 30yo, ?hasn't shown much so far
- Promising youth: Helu, ?Jenkins

Others (non-shanny):
- Orakpo - young, great rusher, below average pass coverage
- F.Davis - young, good TE
- Landry - young, good at strong safety, liability when overpursues
- Aging old guard: S.Moss / Cooley - now average
- aging: J.Brown - 30yo

I measure explosion by touchdowns, not yards. 14 TDs and 15 INTs in 13 games versus 13 TDs and 13 INT in 8. I'll take the latter.

Actually, the idea of a head coach getting fed up with his personnel guy and firing him is pretty funny. The only thing more screwed up than a power structure like that is one where the coach actively prevents himself from building a talented roster.
What happened to the Goodmans or real personnel staff?

doesn't look like the Goodmans are coming. Mo Brown and Campbell are doing a fine job, but Brown is on the short list for some GM jobs
