Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss

Talking about New England is just silly. They had several seasons to turn over that defense, and Brady is well established and has a much better OL.

I think people are forgetting the new regime here came in at a tough time where free agency was very limited and we already had limited picks on hand from Vinny.

Yeah but if the picks were limited and you've already got an old team why give up more picks to bring in more old guys? Sorry but it makes no sense and the smart teams don't make moves like that.

While I dont agree with Shanny's decision to bench DM for the last series I do like the fact that Shanny isnt in love with the players no matter their name or how much $ they make. If he thinks you arent getting it done you are out of there and I like that.

Well in that case we should have half the team (or more) sit the bench. Seems Shannys picking on the High profile players IMO. I think everyone should stand accountable no matter the position or the salary.

I don't see that happening across the board.

He's not benching that terrible left guard who can't block a girl. I think it's cause it's his hand picked guy so he's staying in there, even though he's a total 100% liability.

This just in....
The Redskins just activated a new QB and they are making him the starter over both McNabb and Grossman since he knows the offense better than both of them

Our new starting QB is Kyle Shanahan!

ingenious!

I don't think he should have been benched (thought I don't hate on Grossman quite the way some others do), however, I've watched that final interception a few dozen times now and for the life of me I can't figure out what McNabb was thinking. He says his hand got it, or the ball got tipped, something like that-still, it was hardly enough to account for such a terrible decision there. He telegraphed the play right into triple coverage. That was a horrible play by McNabb. Absolutely horrible

Oh yeah...regarding offensive line play...I said it several weeks ago that rotating olinemen was idiotic...and some said...well, they used to do that in the 60's or something when Guard brought in the play call from the sidelines.

Ask yourself these questions in general...
Is it wise to voluntarily shuffle olinemen every game?
Is it wise to bench a clearly better LG for another?
Is it wise to stick with zone blocking when it is collapsing and you have the players and experience to power rush? (see TD by Williams)

At least Bugel put in a H back AND Sellers when things got bad.

This was ridiculous....and Haslett is dodging a bullet here too.
The Lions adjusted at half time and had a field day moving the ball....the Skins did not adjust any blocking scheme at half time.
Overall...not impressed with coaching...the benching was just idiotic icing on the cake.

And get off McNabb's back....that run he made was amazing.
If we had "dump off" Campbell we'd probably be 2-6...remember, that was the alternative.

People are forgetting the other pick six that was called back due to penalty. That's the second week in a row he mind-****ed a telegraphed pass right to an opposing db and was bailed out by the officials.

That was some Jim Zorn sh#t! That was a horrible coaching decision with horrible timing. Rex Grossman is not an option with 2 minutes to go and the game on the line. Only if McNabb is injured. I was so upset, I was stunned! I thought that for sure McNabb was knocked out of the game, not a coaching decision. WTF. The result of the benching was worse than the decision. F'ckn Sexy Rexy fumbling the ball, like he did so many times at Chicago, and giving the Lions a sealed victory. Not even a f'ckn chance. Jim Zorn sh#t!

I think the breakdown Tim Ryan did during the game outlining the difference between this offense and Philly's was very good. In Philly McNabb read short to long in his progressions, here it's the opposite. In Philly it was all about short quick throws, here the plays take a lot longer to develop.

Yes he's had plenty of bad throws that you can't blame on the system, but you can definitely see he's not comfortable out there, so like it or not, the system "excuse" is a very valid one in my book.I usually hate Tim Ryan, but that was some of the best on-air analysis that I've heard regarding McNabb's adjustment to the new offense.

Ok. I apologize. I had to get that off my chest. I was very upset with McNabb as well. He was having a horrible day. You have 2 minutes on the clock and are down less than a touchdown. All it takes is one good drive to win the game. You have to give your veteran quarterback a chance to redeem himself.
