Voice_of_Reason Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Haslett should not only be fired, but drawn & quartered immediately after being tarred & feathered. Dude, I swear you stole that from me. I use that line all the time. (Though, not always on message boards.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSO Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Two words for you my friend: Swinging Gate My God, how the heck did I end up as the guy arguing for Zorn, lol? Leave it to ES to find one little thing in a post making a much more legitimate, over-arching point and beat that part to death! I really, really don't care for the guy much. Never said he'd be a good or great coach. Just that he'd do a lot better with a competent GM. Can we move on now or are we going to just keep quoting posts of mine so we can bash Zorn as if some point is being refuted, lol? Let's say I'm wrong though and he would've been awful no matter how good the personnel was. Definitely feasible. Who brought him in? Who made him Head Coach? The point still friggin remains... we'll continue to be a losing franchise until our Front Office is one of the best in the league and is structured as the best in the league are structured. Yeesh.

TD Riggo Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yeah, and if we had gone into the half leading 10-7 we would have ended the game with more points than the Vikes. Sure, the D should have stopped them then, but it was all unnecessary. I hated all the first downs our D was giving the Vikes on 3rd and long in the second half, but in the end it wouldn't have mattered had we just ran out the clock before the half. Blame the D all you want. I just wanted to win the game... and THIS would have won the game. As I said .. the refs blew that one. It was not an interception. The guy was CLEARLY out of bounds. And yet, later in the second half Amerson managed to intercept a ball in which he was even MORE clearly IN bounds and they called it incomplete. And yet .. the offense scored 26 points which IF the defense had done their damn jobs would have been enough to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I will play the devils advocate here: Allen tells Gruden I got you covered on the D coach. Gruden just bites his tongue. Thinks: I just got a head coaching job and I will play with their rules for now....Tells himself in the end you will see how has been Hazbeen really is. It really doesn't matter how the masterplan of keeping Haslett went. Everybody knows Haslett has almost 20 years worth of crap defenses and 4 of those are with this team. Allen wanted him, and maybe Gruden did too. Either way somebody, or multiple somebodies, running everything important for the Redskins proudly showed us their "Moron" badge.

Gizmo 3squire Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I think Haslett is gone after this season He needs to go, and let Raheem finish up the season, until Phillips or ANY competent DC is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy614 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I feel bad for Griffin. He's not going to succeed here. He's under a microscope with every move he makes and every word he says. In myopinion? Being black is a big reason why. Oh please, being black has nothing to do with it. Redskin fans are starved for a winner. It's all about the W's and L's. He'd be the toast of the town if we were winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborneskins Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 The irony (bashing the DC media) in this thread is funny.. FTR, I would love to see the Redskins adapt a NO MEDIA approach. It would minimize the distractions to the players. Too bad the league would never allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwiley20 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Man Imma be hurt all week from this game..smh...RG3 looks like he's going to be sacked everyplay.

HogNose Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Gruden was awesome in that presser. Was clearly pissed, clearly hates losing The problem is that our owner hates this type of attitude in a coach. Any coach that tries to see how long the leash is will eventually see the ax fall. Stray from the Snyder script and you are ****ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veteranskinsfan Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I liked seeing Gruden upset. I think he feels the heat more than the players do. He needs to bring in more players next season who are hungry to win and will follow him. Some of these players are too comfortable. He also has to fix a ton of problems. Glad he got a five year contract. I bet he wishes he had Chucky's job right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any coach that tries to see how long the leash is will eventually see the ax fall. Stray from the Snyder script and you are ****ed. Gruden's job is safe. No way would Snyder fire him after just one season. Imagine the firestorm that would cause in the media with them talking about Snyder's meddling and impatience. Grunden isn't going anywhere after this season, IMHO, unless he wants to leave. Which he won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangSteve Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Not to be a jerk, but who cares if he's mad? Every coach that continually gets embarrassed gets mad. What's he going to do about it? Keep grinding out hard fought L's more than likely. What can he do about it this season? This is only his 1st season and he has already brought in some very good players who are making an impact. Remember he inherited a 3-13 team, lost his starting QB the beginning of the 2nd game but still found ways to beat a hot Cowboys team in Texas. I can't wait to see this team 2 years from now after he has the time to straiten this team out and get rid of the dead weight here. I believe we are going to have a pretty darn good team again in Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCranon21 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I'm still upset we gave up 3 70+ yard drives where we should have won by at least 20. What was the difference in a week with the defense? RG3 had a good game coming back off a 7 week layoff. Alf had two scores, and Jackson had another 100 yard game. He should fire him today, as this is inexcusable play call on the defense. Offense did it's job yesterday. 26 points is enough to win on the road.

FrFan Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Quite the opposite tune from his hiring interview when he said he will rely on Haslett for guidance and preventing him from screwing things up. I never liked cronyism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasRoane Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I think Haslett is gone after this season He needs to go, and let Raheem finish up the season, until Phillips or ANY competent DC is available. HELL NO!!! Our DB's are now and have been the most underperforming unit in our defense for years. The guy who deserves a shot is Olivadotti. The LB's have been solid all along and many people think he's the most creative and most likely to be a solid DC. Football is in his blood with his Dad, Tom Olivadotti, being a respected DC for many years. Man Imma be hurt all week from this game..smh...RG3 looks like he's going to be sacked everyplay. Out Left and Right tackles hold up pretty good everybody else nahhhh!!!! our Dline needs coefield back immediatley by the way ( Im team 4-3 defense over (3-4)anyday) Not all sacks are on the O-line. RG III seems to take a lot more of those than the other 2 QB's did with pretty much the same line (except Compton at RT for Polumbus). Gruden called him out on that. Watch the NFL 22 and you'll see that Robert does miss open players and usually it's when they're over the middle. He needs to learn how to slide to a passing lane a'la Drew Brees.

RedBeast Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I like Gruden. He's been far from perfect this season, same as the rest of the team, but I like his fire. He doesn't sugar coat anything or play favorites. If you mess up he will call you out. And he does the same to himself. Just gotta build a solid team around the pieces we have now and I think he'll be fine here I agree. I think Haz is gone and Gruden really starts to put his thumbprint on this team in the off season. He knows he is the man and it is ultimately up to him to get it done. He assumes the responsibility as a HC and that is what this team needs. Discipline and direction (as well as a better OL and DC). We need some more pieces to compete. You can't win football games when the march down the field as many times as they did yesterday. Defense wins football games and that is why we lost yesterday. EDIT: AND OL! G** D**N OL yesterday made me puke. Sack city. Weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I don't know if this has been mentioned in here, but several local reporters, including for the Post, came and defended us on the BSPN piece concerning Griffin. Not sure if this changes our overall relationship, but they totally could have pilled on and co-signed, but they didn't and stood up for us instead. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/wp/2014/11/02/jay-gruden-vehemently-denies-report-by-espns-britt-mchenry/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope that Gruden is allowed to do his thing...hopefully Danny has learned but I still worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, too, believe this team to be dysfunctional, but Wilboner's criticisms aren't coming from a place of constructiveness. He just flat out hates us. Of course, he would never dare criticize the Bears in the same manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeman is a hack from Bleacher Report. Also strange that you don't see anything from Fox Sports, SI, CBS Sports, etc. Just the report from ESPN. I mean come on, if Jason Reid is defending the team, you know something is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Today Gruden learned why you dont keep buddies from back in the day on your staff, when they really arent very good. Because "maybe okay" makes you look like a fool of a football coach, and it looks like hes finally tired of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyron Biggums Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Any coach with any kind of passion would have been pissed off after yesterday's game. Gruden seems to be a straight shooter which is refreshing. I hope he gets Haslett ran out of the building today. 5 years of piss poor defense! I would not have a job if i performed badly at my job for 1 month straight. I realize Gruden is not the GM, but will the real GM please stand up and get this **** straightened out????
