All those guys have potential, but all of them are (obviously) replaceable.

Did you mean T.O.? Did you realize that we can get him for a crappy TV show, Chad Johnson, and a box of popcorn?

Maybe if we start a rumor about him he will slip to like the third round. Than we can grab our safety in the second. :)

RG3 cant do it all by himself. He was throwing great balls and his terrible WRs just cant catch them. This team needs lots of help at every position except QB as the Steelers manhandled them. Also Meangelo Hall should never play another game as a Redskin again.

[quote=Mattyk;958355]I'm not oblivious to the front office shortcomings, but at the same time I'm not a fan of piling everything on them and letting players off the hook for fumbles, drops, and other fundamental miscues. Next week is a crucial game no doubt, I think if we want any real chance of being in [B]the wildcard race[/B] we have to beat Carolina and go into the bye at 4-5 with some momentum.[/quote]

are you serious?

Re: Steelers 27 Skins 12 post game thread
 

I think what's even more frustrating is what's the plan to get better? We don't have any first rounders the next two years and we already know the free agent route doesn't really work. We're really going to have to hit in the draft and I'm not so sure I trust our front office in that area.

Re: Steelers 27 Skins 12 post game thread
 

This team has been badly broken for over a decade and its not going to be fixed in 3 or 4 years. The constant coach changes keep resetting the clock so getting rid of Shanny and bringing in a new coach/system IMO resets the clock back to 0. There is no way Shanny or any other coach gets this team consistently competitive until 2015 at the earliest.

Re: Steelers 27 Skins 12 post game thread
 

I watched the entire game today. I didn't like what I saw one bit. I didn't expect the Redskins to beat the Steelers but I did expect a better effort. I saw a team that wasn't motivated and a beaten team that wasn't trying to win. Leonard Hankerson needs to be benched. He dropped too many passes today. The wide receivers were the reason why RG3 was so inaccurate today, namely Hankerson. Both Paulsen and Niles Paul did a good job catching the ball. The offensive line allowed way too much penetration.

[quote=GTripp0012;957835]There are currently unemployed corners who would make no. 2 CBs on this team.[/quote]

It's the truth. We took an azz kickin today that "Bully Beatdown" can't match. No pass rush, no coverage, no catches, no win.

I agree with this statement 100%, does anyone know why Hall went crazy? What set him off? I watched the replay, didn't really see anything??

Relax chief, I'm not saying they'll get there. If they want to have any sort of shot they need to get to 4-5 heading into the bye.

Re: Steelers 27 Skins 12 post game thread
 

Our focus going into the offseason should be defense
- secondary
- NT
- LB
- TE
- WR
- OL
I think this team is in good shape when all the pieces are healthy and in place but we need to wipe out our 2ndary with the exception of Wilso. I would keep Josh only as 3rd CB in the nickel.

That's quite a bit to do in one year. Doubtful we can completely overhaul the secondary in one offseason.

address secondary in the draft and fill in holes with bandaids from free agency
but yeah I don't expect this wish list done by spring.
