49ers @ Redskins Pregame Thread

Hey everybody, it was a quote he said regarding Rex Grossman, and making the switch to John Beck.

"I believe in Rex, and I believe in John Beck," Shanahan said. "I told you that from Day One. Both guys, I'm hoping, are going to be here for a long time. … I've been around quarterbacks in the National Football League for a long time, and I know these guys have got what it takes."

Players back Redskins' Grossman; Shanahan not sure – USATODAY.com (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/redskins/story/2011-10-17/santana-moss-rex-grossman/50805404/1)

Straight from the horses mouth

Coach speak.. he's not.gonna say we will try these guys out for a year lol

What in the world do people expect Shanahan to say? "Well we were hoping to draft Jake Locker and use Hasselbeck or Rex as a bridge to starting Locker in 2012. Things didn't work out that way so we'll just make do with what we have and hope Foles is there when we pick next April."

Pretty much my thoughts. Our roster on O is mostly ass. One of the things I learned when I had a card game obsession was that good cards cost the opponent resources(more than 1 card) to counter. The opposing defense can simply just beat us with some simple scheming and a pass rush. Compare that with the rest of the NFC East. They all have legit threats that sometimes requires 2 players or one of your "best" players to shut down. We don't.

I've got something else going on so I'm going to record the game and watch it Sunday night, but I have a feeling it's going to be like last week... not worth watching.Take your medicine and suffer along with the rest of us.

I'm setting the over under on 5 minute power naps I take during this game at 2. My stats show that in the last 5 years, anytime I take more than 1.5 naps due to offensive boredom, our record is 1-17. It's not looking good today. Place your bets, I'll take the over.

Joe Gibbs "the best coach of all times". There something wrong with you and the rest of the Gibbs suck ups, 1 gibbs won 3 super bowls for us 100 years ago, 2.he was so out of touch with football, and to busy with his nose up that NASCAR crap! He did a horrible job drafting talent, we could of had Demarcus Ware and Aaron Rodgers, instead we got Carlos Rogers and Jason Campbell????? Joe wasn't super, Just Ordinary, really, he set this franchise back all these years and left it, worse than he got it, Clinton Portis for Champ and a second rounder, how is Portis doing these days? Champ, well he still is in the league, playing good ball..... Then bringing in bugus with his 70's blocking schemes....... We were never an elite team under Joe (blows). Remember the N.E. game........ Sad!

We are having growing pains right now, like swiss cheese there holes all over the place even in the fan base. I going to say we have pull it out and get our heads out the sand this week.
