I see the game being 45-41 Redskins, unless our offense is lagging, and then we could get blown out badly.

We just have to win this game, period. Even if we win ugly. I have a feeling if we are coming out of the bye at 0-4, our season could be over and we may lose a lot of games this year. I think people will be fired if we turn out a 2 or 3 win year. I think they let Shanahan finish out the season, but if we win 2 games i see him getting the axe. My question is, if you know you are going to fire him, do you wait until the end of the year to give him his dignity, or do you fire him when the skins are officially out of the playoffs?

Mike isn't going anywhere this team was crap before he got here, he has added young talent that we haven't had in a long time. Yeah the secondary sucks and Oline needs better talent. We had no money this offseason to improve either area, bottom line we are missing a few more key pieces and our QB is coming off major knee surgery. Last was a great season but by no means were we a top tier team, we had to win 7 in a row to win the division. Synder would be dumb to fire Mike, if I was him I would extend him during the bye week to make all this talk go away. Now firing Haslet and shaking up coaching staff I could see, but no to firing Mike.
