Shanahan said what?

[mooby]

Lol @ this thread. Just sayin, imo.

if it were not for all the fumbles lost, the interceptions thrown, and the holding penalties, we would have been in the playoffs!

I thought we looked real good in our first few games. I agree with shanny that if we had no injuries, then we could be a bottom tier playoff caliber offense, but then again every team has injuries. NYG had a bunch this year, as did GB last year. Depth is what makes teams go.

Injuries hurt a bunch so who knows? It was only four games, but the offense wasn't playoff caliber in those first four games.

Exactly what I was thinking. My take away from it is Shanny publicly saying, "we aren't bad and could still be in the playoffs next year with someone other than RG3 under center. In fact, Tanenhill and some depth and we'll be just fine. We'll talk with the Rams, but we have options."

What do you want him to say? "We suck and are willing to give up everything for the second pick but since we have nobody worthy of playing in the NFL on offense we'll suck for years."

....injuries more then anything else will kill a super bowl season.

Timing of injuries might matter more than who gets injured. The Giants had a ton of defensive injuries in the preseason, and their defense in the regular season was awful enough to have kept them out, but their defense in the playoffs was good enough to win it.

The Giants couldn't have won the super bowl (maybe not even made the playoffs) if all those preseason injuries happened during the season.

Some people here think that if you dont put IMO behind all of your posts, then you are force feeding your ideas down others throats as if what you said was fact. Its all about being politically correct nowadays, and if your view is considered incorrect or doesnt match up with theirs, then by golly you are just being downright rude, unless you add an IMO, IMO.

Mike Shanahan's interviews are awesome.
I'm srurprised he didn't slip in a: 'for obvious reasons' in the interview he managed to sneak in a 'best chance to win' right there at the end.

But what does anyone expect him to say?
He's already proven he'll literally say anything yet tell nothing.

How about the Pack last year????? Had the most on IR of any team.

Considering the Super Bowl's final score wasn't exactly a display of offense, maybe Shanahan isn't too far off. But, like others have said, what is he supposed to say exactly?
