I wish I were as confident as you guys...this in Shanny I trust stuff is a bit over the top considering his teams performance...just like players need to be accountable for their personal performance...the coach needs to be accountable for the team record...so far I am unimpressed...but still willing to hope that this is a 3 year project...I predicted a 7-9 season when most were saying 9-7 or 10-6...and I am a skeptic...obviously hitting 7-9 would be the best possible scenario at this point....did anyone really think that the star Shanny with McNabb and Allen would only yield 1 more win than Zorn, Campbell, and Vinny with 2 games to go? (and possibly for the whole season)
It is true that you are only as good as your record....as a team....and as a coach...I feel the honeymoon "love" should be wearing off for Shanny as he has made his fair share of mistakes...predominantly with how he deals with personnel and his history of screwing up defenses.
McNabb underperformed and should be criticized...but Shanny and Allen have obviously underperformed as well.
The only guys I can think of that overperformed....are guys that weren't even on the squad last year...Banks, Torrain.
Unless there is a major upgrade on the lines...and a legit starter at QB and RB...this team will post another losing record next year. Don't be tempted to drink the annual koolaid.
