Hey Ho, Haslett has to go! (or maybe not)

Couldn't agree more and when it's all in place the Offense will also look even better.

Hate saying 'Next year', but that's the way it's headed.i'm already on 2014 w the cap penalties, any success before then is a welcome surprise.

Prove it

The contracts of Cofield, Bowen, Merriwether, Garcon and Morgan together are greater than Haynesworth, no?

You can give Cofield the benefit of the doubt, which I do, and say he's out of position.

The rest is just blah. Guys that for one reason or another don't contribute much, but the overarching theme is we spent a wad of cash on high-risk/uncertain reward type players. Garcon and Morgan have done nothing in their careers up to this point to justify what they were given. I don't care that another franchise may have given them the same. How are those franchises doing btw? The Niners clearly let Morgan walk, and appear to be better off because of it, no?

In short, Mike's FA moves overall have been a gigantic failure, as were Cerrato's. It's the reaction (talking about fans here) that's been different, but again I don't suspect it will last much longer.

I wish I could find the article I read about how we play the Steelers defense......but not the way they play it. They usually start out pretty basic and then bring on disquised blitzes etc. And they are very good at disquising what they're doing. With Hasletts defense they rarely fool anyone and without that our defense is pretty easy to read. The Steelers offense was a step or two ahead of us all day. Haslett may know the 3-4 but he definitely doesn't have the creativity to get the most out of it.

I remember that read, it was excellent.

i wouldn't say morgan is playing below his contract
meriweather just isn't playing
garcon isn't living up to his, but i don't fault him for that (this is the first time he has missed more than 2 games in a season)

There's no clear choice to replace him now. So wait until the end of the season and get...

Agreed... until we have a good choice of 3-4 coach to replace him we are stuck with him...

I have changed in the last few seasons, since Gibbs Ver. 2.0.

Long view, hard as it is to maintain as a fan. With RGIII we now have a great (possibly the greatest, potential-wise) QB to build around.

Wives like to talk about their husbands sometimes, that's how I know. And it's players that matter

IF thats really the case then he has to go . . . simple as that . . .

I don't really see Ron Rivera as an option for here, or Mangini (I actually hope he stays on TV, think he's really good there). But if we're going to with a fired/soon to be fired head coach, what about Romeo Crennel?

Whens the last time Crennel has had a top 5 defense?

Whens the last time Crennel has had a top 5 defense?

2003 - #1 points, #7 yardage
2004 - #2 points, #9 yardage

Bowen has been cited by many as having been a beast at times this year and solid throughout. Cofield has not been Ratcliff-like at the NT, but has been serviceable. and at times very good. Morgan has been a solid option in the passing game and, more importantly, has been written up as a great blocking WR.

That's not even considering what Garcon and Merriweather may end up contributing over the life of their contracts.

To compare those five pick-ups to Haynesworth in terms of contribution is just about as divorced from reality as someone suggesting that we should hire Jack Del Rio as our next coach.
