The Mike Shanaplan

[sportscurmudgeon]

If the Redskins win fewer than 6 games this year, then there would be good reason to heap a lot of scorn on Shanahan and company. The reason has nothing to do with whom he drafted or anything about the schemes or anything at all attached to roster creation.

If the Redsksins win fewer than 6 games this year there should be floggings at Redskins Park on the basis of the schedule.

The Redskins get to play the NFC West this year. There are no great teams in the NFC West; there are two bad teams and two mediocre teams there. That represents 4 games against less than fearsome opponents.

In addition, the Redskins get to play the Bills (when did that team last have a winning season) and the Panthers (or should I call them the Pantloads?) There are two more games against less than fearsome opponents.

The Skins have 6 games against mediocre to bad teams right there. If they end this season at 4-12 against that competition, somebody's head ought to roll.
