IF there is any credence to that angle there might be more trouble ahead if the L column starts to get a lot bigger. Zorny lost the locker room after the Detroit debacle last season, it would be a shame if Shanny started to lose it after this Lions loss. Our FO needs to drop the win now crap and focus on building a team, and get a youth movement going. The acquisition of Galloway and Roydell Williams was a waste. Whatever the reason for getting them, it has proven to be faulty. Getting De angelo Hall was the decent move made recently, but with our pass defense ranked 31st, he isn't that great, unless he can keep getting 2-4 picks a game. Our first two picks need to be linemen and maybe we can sneak a good WR with our 3rd pick.

When you hear the phrase, "the coach has lost the locker room" it seems to imply that the coach is a goner. That won't be the case here. If anyone quits on Shanahan, it'll be the player that's gone, not the head coach.
