yeah, i don't understand the shannahan comment.

I know most people probably don't agree with me on this, but I'm in favor of what Shannahan did if it is because he's teaching the kid to respect the coaching staff. He put the coach in a corner during the preseason when he was running around blabbing about how he'll be ready for week one and even making commercials about it. Quit acting like you are the best QB ever and listen to guys who know a thing or two about football.

I'm biased though, so take that for what it is worth. I never liked RGIII.

I'm biased as well (not anti-RGIII, but pro-Shanny), but I can understand the move for a different reason: since the Redskins are already eliminated, it does make some sense to assure that RGIII doesn't get hurt again and sustain a setback. Especially when you've got an excellent backup in Cousins available.

I don't think RGIII is a very good qb, but Shanny is an average coach at best. He's from another era and hasn't changed with the times.

I'd send them both packing.

Also if they want to get a draft pick back it is a good time for Cousins to show his stuff so they can trade him away.

Definitely.

Again, biased, but I think that the zone-blocking run scheme is still quite relevant in this era. Just see the success that Alfred Morris has had. And Shanny looked to be lighting up the passing game again back when he had Cutler and Marshall only a few years ago. I'd still like to see what he could do with a fully healthy RGIII.

Now defense, on the other hand, Shanny has never been great at, even back in the day.

A few extra million over the cap, instead of under, wouldn't hurt either.

He's a nut job.

that being said, would be awesome to see him in Buffalo.

Really? I think Marrone has shown some promise. I'd take him over Shanahan at the moment.

i just don't know. the guy seems clueless at times. he shows no emotion on the sidelines a la Dick Jauron. he's thrown two challenge flags on plays that can't be challenged.

rookie HC, yea. seems like i've seen this guy before though. their D coordinator is the one i'm impressed with the most for sure.

after every incompletion in those final 24 seconds, Pats are throwing their arms up for PI. i was really thinking the refs were going to bite on one.

They probably could/should have called it on that Hoomanawanui pass attempt. But I'm not complaining!

So it sounds like Kyle Shanahan's causing the most drama in DC. I'd be fine with getting rid of just him and replace him with Kubiak.

oh so dallas is going to play defense today

At least you won't have the misfortune of watching your team lose in the playoffs. I'm not looking forward to it.

bwahahah Dallas why you so stupid?

This--and also a hefty LOL Romo.

what a stupid question asked to Romo by that female reporter.

WTF Cowboys? And fuck Dez Bryant leaving the field early. He's such a douche.

Yeah, that was bushleague. Someone commented on the Romo post game interview--I want to her Dez's.

If I was a Dallas running back I would have headed for the tunnel early and taken a huge dump on Jason Garrett's desk.
