I agree with you here that was a hell of a late flag.

With Snyder as owner, the Skins have NEVER taken the long term approach to rebuilding. The quick fix might feel good at first, but we would be much better served long term if we keep our picks and build through the draft.

Still, Shanahan doesn't come in here with a mediocre QB like Campbell or Rex. Maybe a younger coach, but not MS. I just wonder if we had stuck out with some of these players and come out with a better compliment of a draft picks for the 2011 draft by sacrificing the 2010 season. Although I think the uncertainty of the 2011 season makes you wonder if any team would do such thing.

Shanahan does not deserved to be cut any slack either. He's a coach trying to be a GM, and the coach, aka the "must try to win every game" mentality, beat out the GM.

Hindsight being 20/20 I agree with you Sir CP. We really needed those picks!!!!! This team is in need of such an overhaul that by the time we have a solid roster in place Donovan will be where Favre is now. Too many holes to fill, and still a sorry ass WR corp. I do not think even our newbie Wrs are the answer either. AA is great for 2-3 long balls a game, but not much more. It will be interesting to see if Austin can do anything, but I would bet not much.

The flag for the Riley block was probably thrown right away. The stupid announcers teased us saying that there were no flags as Banks got to the end zone. Don't blame the refs for that.

Yeah I guess your right. Watching it on the T.V. just seemed like a real late call. The only good thing we can get from this is that Banks has that play maker thing going on.

We were sold a bill of goods with him as well. He won 2 SBs with Elway, none after that, when his teams were still stacked with offensive firepower in a crappy division. Although I don't agree with a lot of what he says, I think Jason Whitlock of FoxSports might have hit on a grain of truth about MS and the Skins, in that he is just trying to help Kyle become the youngest HC in the NFL. Of course, the big payday doesn't hurt either!!!

below average teams self destruct and that's what we did today.

That's cool, you came off like it wasn't. Hell I say crazy shit 2. It's all good to bad we lost today.

[Bushead]

Toughest loss of the season.

[rstone1979]

lets say it like we usually do at this time every year. There is always next year......we will be better next year.......or cant wait till next year......the usual bs. There is no chance this team will beat the Giants, or any other team at this point. How can we let grandpa and his walker stroll for 8 yards to end the game?

[SFREDSKIN]

4 things that killed this team today:

1-Lack of execution, dropped passes by Moss, Armstrong, Cooley killing drives.
2-Penalties during KO return, like I've been saying all season, fix this shit!!
3-Coaching, 13 rushing attempts for a whole game, unacceptable.
4-Stopping the run and play action, all season long this has been a problem.
