Shanahan said what?

Lol @ this thread. Just sayin, imo.

if it were not for all the fumbles lost, the interceptions thrown, and the holding penalties, we would have been in the playoffs!

What the hell do you want him to say in public on a dumb little interview?
.......it had to be said

I thought we looked real good in our first few games. I agree with shanny that if we had no injuries, then we could be a bottom tier playoff caliber offense, but then again every team has injuries. NYG had a bunch this year, as did GB last year. Depth is what makes teams go.

Injuries hurt a bunch so who knows? It was only four games, but the offense wasn't playoff caliber in those first four games.

I see it as posturing with the Rams. Shanny saying don't expect a bidding war. We are going to make an offer take it or leave it.
Exactly what I was thinking. My take away from it is Shanny publicly saying, "we aren't bad and could still be in the playoffs next year with someone other than RG3 under center. In fact, Tanenhill and some depth and we'll be just fine. We'll talk with the Rams, but we have options."

What do you want him to say? "We suck and are willing to give up everything for the second pick but since we have nobody worthy of playing in the NFL on offense we'll suck for years."

....injuries more then anything else will kill a super bowl season.:drink

How about the truth.
Or something thats believable.

The NFL is so Machiavellian these days it is difficult to know what someone truly believes

....injuries more then anything else will kill a super bowl season.:drinkTiming of injuries might matter more than who gets injured. The Giants had a ton of defensive injuries in the preseason, and their defense in the regular season was awful enough to have kept them out, but their defense in the playoffs was good enough to win it.

The Giants couldn't have won the super bowl (maybe not even made the playoffs) if all those preseason injuries happened during the season.
