Skins vs Packers post game thread

Shanahan says he won’t consider a quarterback change (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2013/09/16/shanahan-says-he-wont-consider-a-quarterback-change/)

I think he will be thinking differently if and when it puts his job on the line.

If the team is struggling and he has a chance to make a switch and perhaps "jump start" the offense, i think he will do it. I think it's clear that RG3 is not 100%

I don't want to see a quarterback change but i think if we come out of the bye at 0-4, it has to be going through his mind....

Why this is even a topic is beyond me. A QB change after 2 games? ROFL. Either the media doesn't have jack squat to write on or the people thinking this stuff up are idiots.


yeah KC isn't playing def anytime soon

Well if he does change the QB he better hope the OLine learns how to block, receivers learn how to get open and to make catches, and the defense learns how to tackle, cover, and get consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Hopefully if cousins becomes the starter all those aspects of football magically become fixed.

KC isn't playing and it shouldn't even be a thought in anyone's mind right now.

KC missed a good chunk of practice time with his injury. Substitute one rusty QB for another? Not smart.

Griffin is the franchise, you don't bench him. It will only create a giant shit storm of controversy.

Does anyone just think that we the fans/ media over estimated the talent on this team? All day long everyone is making excuses and what not...I know we can play better than this, but perhaps we just aren't a good team.

No I see our holes, WR , RT , and CB'S and Safeties.

But I also see a Big time LT and a legit star QB so maybe I'm just a little greedy from last yr.

I think we are on the way to being a good team. I can't stress enough how many bums were here when Shanahan came in as coach. I remember that many of the players they released never played in the NFL ever again.

I have mentioned this before, but a few years ago, during the terrible Jim Zorn years, I caught this show on NFL network about the NFL's greatest dynasties, winningest teams, etc.. They said on there that the average time it took to turn a team into a dynasty, meaning consistently winning, superbowls, etc... was like 6 or 7 years on the average. So assuming 6 years is the average, what has MS been here for, like 4 years already? So i would say there are still like 2 more years to go. If MS is here that long.

I think it could just be that we got hot at the right time last year, luck usually has a lot to do with playoffs, etc, getting good at the right time. And perhaps we have some good luck this year....

I think they're just sloppy and undisciplined right now.

They showed last year what they're capable of. Teams just don't luck into runs like that. This team has talent.

This. Plus, if Cousins is put in and the Shanny's open the offense up with rollouts, bootlegs and screens you're not comparing apples to apples between RG and Cousins, but just starting a huge QB controversy.

But those issues are just part of the problem, and fixing them isn't going to make this team a contender IMO. There's much more at issue here.
