How DonoShan will take us to the Playoffs this year.

I'm not a fan of the DonoShan.

Someone came up with Shanovan Era. It just sound better.

I also hate the whole "Team So&So" thing. "I'm with Team Campbell, he still can be great," "Well I'm with Team McNabb, he's a proven winner."

SHUT THE F' UP!!!

So, what's this thread about?

Having real optimism that the team will be successful.
The team is headed for an exciting season, and the future looks bright.

What makes you think we won't have a starting left tackle by september?
They have a great chance to get Okung, or someone in the draft. They can still sign a FA, or make a few trades. My point is, I feel very confident that Shanahan and Allen will get what they need to compete before the season starts. Do you really think they are done making moves to improve the team?

I am trying to understand why many people are so negative about the team, and the direction. They are trying to win a championship now! Mike's son is in line to take over the team when he retires. He will build this team up for long term success.

I am middle of the road, not really negative, but definitely a huge wait and see. But to claim that McNabb/Shanahan have us going to the playoffs, AS THE TEAM IS NOW, is way too early. Let's get to training camp, see how the LT spot is handled, and the OL in general. 2 weeks before the draft I would be calling any fan site thread that talks playoffs a retarded thread.

Your original post could just have easily been:
Hi I am a fan, my team made changes, we are going to the playoffs. Yay. (oh yeah we were 4-12, and let 10 players go, and don't have a starting LT on our roster) But we are there Man! Yeah!

IF we get to the playoffs it will be a testament to Shanahan's abilities to get the most out of his players, not merely because McNabb is here instead of Campbell. Every action that the FO has made has been to get this group of players focused on winning, not focused on individuals. We have had talent for many years, we have not had that talent work towards the same goal. Maybe now we will, but it is still WAY to early to predict playoffs, or even an 8-8 record.

I don't think it is too early, they have taken major steps toward improving the roster and the mentality, and there is plenty of time to go before the season starts. It will take more than just McNabb, but he is the key piece.
Vegas cut in half the Redskin's odds of winning the Super Bowl with just his acquisition. That is impressive!

:laughing2

Hilarious...speaking of funny things, is this thread the first candidate in 2010 for the Thread Hell section?

Not sure why trying to have a positive outlook is reason for disdain.
For the first time in a long time, I have an optimistic view of my team.
I was never comfortable with Zorn and Campbell, and The Gibbs move for Brunell was a head scratcher form the get.
While I am not totally convinced about the shift to a 3-4, I do realize it is a high pressure defense, and where the league is heading.
We have the best HC/QB combination that I can ever remember, and that is a huge reason for excitement.

they still need more help on the OL but i have faith that it will be done

If anything it would be DonoHan. (1st part of one name and second part of the other name) As in 'Brangelina' or Bennifer or Vaughniston...jeez ppl...name combining 101...

Personally I think Shanovan or McNabbahan.
brangelina technically has all of angelina's name

you spend too much time in US Weekly :silly:
