""That's my point. I'm tired of going through season after season where we lose games that we should win, guys not doing the right thing, guys not putting the best effort in, whatever it may be. I'm tried of that, man. We deserve better."
- Philip Daniels

I'm glad a player's finally airing out the dirty laundry. I think the Skins have been too loyal about keeping things in-house. The organization has lost for too long and the fans are at a point that transparency is needed.

If a player is saying that loafing has been a problem every season, I say good for Shanahan and whatever kind of punishments he's handing out. Talent, scheme changes, luck be damned. I've watched teams like the Lions and Bills this season... and while their records may be worse than ours, they keep many of their games competitive.

We've had talent in the past, schemes that have worked... the one constant? Losing. And it all starts with attitude. 3-4 or 4-3... missed tackling, players dropping passes, guys not going full speed on game day- that's a lack of focus and want.

As long as Danny Snyder's pocket is the only thing suffering from such moves, I'll buy it. If I'm going to flog myself every Sunday watching the Skins lose, if I'm going to receive ridicule from all my friends over the years for being a fan of this team, if I'm going to have my hopes dashed every season at the halfway point... I'd rather go through such masochism if the performers are at least leaving it all out on the field. If professional football players have been able to skate by on less-than optimum behavior, I'll take the frito lays we'd get in return for Fat Al.
