Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

Firing the coach doesn't fix players dropping passes. Stupid thread.

So let's JUST blame the players.

I know some people have been making stupid "fire x coach" comments/threads that are uncalled for. But how much does something fall on the players and how much does something fall on a coaches?

Uh, if the receivers drop double digit passes - passes that were right in the hands/bread basket - then who the heck do you think should get the blame?

The guys that agreed to bring him on the team.

Oh, I see. So, who are you firing for bringing in Santana Moss?

It was sarcasm... I couldn't care less if they fire him or not. The Skins will never be a great team. Well not for a long time anyway...

Exactly, its going to take at least another 4 or 5 years until we are playoff ready. It takes time to build a winner. The past 3 years have been the PRE-rebuilding phase. Fans just need to shut the phuck up and be patient. Jeezus christ. It takes a long time to get above .500, even with an ALL UNIVERSE quarterback. DUH. Shanahan will turn us into a perennial contender, just you wait and see (4-5 years). Mike Shanahan has lost his edge (Elway), so its just gonna take him a while to get it back. Thats all..........

Mike Shanahan has absolutely disappointed, and I believe no longer is qualified to coach any team. His successes this season are completely attributed to Robert Griffin, just as the defense being completely run into the ground, burnt up, then defecated on can be directly attributed to him. I don't know what its going to take to prove the game has passed his geriatric ass by, but sorry to say it has. Denver fired his ass for a reason, we were just so desperate for a good coach, we thought that we could put some good pieces around him, and waalaah, at least have an 8-8 team. Guess we were very wrong. I just hope we cut bait after THIS season, instead of giving him and Haslett one more year of stunted progression. (Other than RG3, regression might actually fit better as the term there.)

No. The Skins put up one horrid game and folks want to throw the baby out with the bath water.

blowout losses happen. Considering this is the first one (with a rookie QB, mind you) its nothing to freak out about. If the Texans can ger blown out, with perhaps the most prolific offense in the leauge, then I don't think you can begrudge our team for one.

Thiiiiis. And I mean we didn't even get blown out really. We lost by... what, 2 scores? It could've been worse. We could've been the week 7 Ravens.

He's not just the coach but he's the President of Football operations, in other words THEY ARE HIS PLAYERS!

who is responsible for bringing in all these wr's that can't catch? at some point, the braintrust has to held accountable for the lack of talent on this team.

So why weren't you complaining when the receivers were catching the passes up to this game? Again, I think it's typical Redskins fan knee-jerk reaction, but why should I expect anything different? When the players don't execute, it's the coaches fault, but when they do, it's completely the players' credit and none to the coaches. At least you guys are consistent, lol!
