Can't just take the results of one game and draw sweeping conclusions from it. Yes they had a bad day, but at this point I'll chalk it up to being a fluke. Even Moss who was being talked up by some as being our best WR had a crappy day.

Fair enough and you cant just take one line from my post and draw sweeping conclusions from it. The rest is on Shanny too.

I didn't draw any conclusions about the rest of your post, I just took issue with that one point.

Its more contoversial this way.

"What we need" as far as players go is subjective to the opinion of every fan, whereas you can pretty much say that 6 drops in 7 games is the opposite of "wr's who can't catch." Hence why it was pretty easy to target that line of your post. If he hadn't called you on it, I probably would've. We had 10 drops in one game today, whereas we had 6 (give or take) in our previous 7 games. That's not indicative of wide receivers that can't catch.

Ok well the receivers are one part of what i feel to be the glaring needs here. I shouldnt have mentioned the drops - more just the lack of productivity. I think Moss is probably done after this year because of his age. Robinson and Hank are total question marks. If God forbid Garcons injury is one that follows him ( not claiming to be a doctor just sayin its possible). That leaves us with very little fire power in that department.
Edit : @ Mooby - totally rite. I know drops arent an issue ( ironically i was the one arguing last week against Miss being a career dropaholic and Hank - well he might be one) but the ability to get open would have been a better choice of words.

Before today were you thinking the WRs were a "glaring need"?

Most likely the glaring need was a win in Pittsburgh over WRs.

Before today i didnt care because we were scoring. So i took the who cares how it gets done as long as it gets done approach. But im talking about next year - probably without Moss. Leaves us with Robinson, Morgan, and Hank. Garcon im fine with if he is healthy. Are you totally comfortable with that group?

Shanahan may very well be on television next year.

So what do you suggest the redskins do if they fire Shannahan? With a salary cap hit, what do you expect? Don't you think we would have signed Grubbs and Finnegan if they didn't have the salary cap hit? Skins have it and Shannahan seems to be working with what he has. I give him until next season. RG III buys him some more time I think.

Should he be the coach after the bye week? After the season? I think I'm still in wait-and-see mode, but it's been a long time since I've been able to envision a future Redskins team winning under Mike Shanahan. At this point, it sure seems like the Redskins will just be playing out the string, particularly if the Giants hold on today.

A word of warning/advice: obviously this loss seems worse today (Sunday) than it will in the middle of the week. It's totally reasonable to want to change your vote given some time to cool off. I think that's a given, actually.

I generally (and specifically, in this case) do not support mid-season coach firings.

Yeah Snyder fires him at midseason. Are you thinking before typing this?

Probably penalties I'm guessing, or maybe it's time for Forbath to go 0/4

Assuming Davis comes back 100%, yeah I can live with our receivers as they are now.

Do you realize where our offense ranks? Not sure how you can talk about lack of productivity. Today was apparently a off day for all of our WRs. Probably why Kyle ended up running a screen for Paulsen. He was the best out there today.
