Re: Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss
The OL got blown the F up today.
Blaming McNabb is just so nearsighted it's not even funny. Yeah his play was certainly a factor to a degree, the INT certainly didn't help, but the shotty OL play is what we should be focusing on. |

He also is not as nearly bad as you are at creating a ridiculous thread like this one. Talk about an overreaction. McNabb was running for his life from a very good d-line. Detroit is not the pushovers they used to be. We were 4-12 last year. 4-4 right now is not as bad as you think considering where we were as a team less than a year ago. McNabb is not the problem...the impatience of Redskins fans is the problem. BREAKING NEWS: we are not going to the Super Bowl this year. Get used that idea. We are building a good team. It take a year or two. The sooner you deal with reality...the sooner you will not create threads like this one. |

One huge positive: Brandon Banks is electric, he almost ran three back for TDs today, one got called back for the illegal block and in the other one he just tripped (or something, right?). I hope he turns out to be a huge spark plug for our return game.

Re: Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss
McNabb didn't make throws when he had to... but he was running scared and you would be too if you had zero confidence in the OL which is about right. Suh and Vanden Bosch were men among boys today, Rabach and Lichtensteiger would probably not start on any other team and receivers again dropped passes which were tough but really need to be pulled in. I will say that the pass into triple coverage was all McNabb.

Re: Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss
Just echo the rest of the thread: Mcnabb wasn't the reason for the loss. The OL was horrible and was the reason we lost. Sure the passes were pretty bad but when u get hit on every play that happens. Mcnabb's legs kept us in this game if anything. I also would be willing to bet that Mcnabb would've held onto the ball that Grossman fumbled.
I really can't understand Shannahans reasoning at the end of the game. U pull a QB that has played 95% of the game in favor of a QB that isn't even warmed up? We brought Mcnabb in to lead this team. Y pull him with 1:39 left in the game. Grossman certainly wasn't the answer........ |

With the performance of the OL the past few weeks i'd be ready to jet if I was Mcnabb.

Re: Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss
Anyone who knows football's got to admit the OL was horrible today and has been the majority of this year. McNabb's made a bunch of good plays in spite of them. Today, he couldn't, but not many QB's could have. The OL was bad.

I just don't think it can be said, like some have, that just because a pick occurs in the 4th quarter, in the final few minutes of the game, that it is the sole reason we lost, especially since we got the ball back with enough time to score. ^Run-on Sentence |

Re: Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss
Exactly, Peyton Manning would have sucked behind our line today. Not to mention Donovan has an inadequate WR still to throw to. AA is a keeper, and a good threat, but the fossils that also make up our WR corp need to go. They are roster spot wastes of space. Give Austin a call up and put him on the active roster during the bye. That might alleviate some pressure for Donovan if another speedster is out there.

Re: Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss
Benching McNabb was one of the worst coaching decisions I have seen in some time. It was Zornesque. If I am a player on that team--it raises some real questions about Shanny's decision making. I don't care if Grossman knows the offense better--to take a cold QB off the bench in the last two minutes is a complete lack of confidence in McNabb and awful/team destructive decision. I also indicates that K Shanny has not does his job to coach up McNabb on the two minute offense. I mean it's week 8! Either the player is not that good or the coaching is not that good. Right now I have a hard time believing it is McNabb's fault.
Kyle Shanahan is not adjusting well to the player's he currently has on this team. All the skill positions (and O line) are of lesser quality than what he had at Houston (although Cooley is probably a slightly better than Daniels). He needs to figure this out during the bye week... |

He isn't so far off the mark or off the wall. The best coaches are the ones who can adapt their system to the players he has to work with and utilize there strengths in the best possible manner. Maybe Kyle isn't doing that as much as he could. |
