I call it like I see it, even if it means praising teams I hate. Ask Mark, he'll vouche for that.<br /><br />I expected more from Shanahan. I mean, do you really expect people to take you seriously when you bench Donovan McNabb for Rex Grossman and claim it was becasue Rex gave you the best chance to win? Your new name is Lovie Shanahan, because he was the only coach who ever though Grossman was the best chance. Rex isn't your best option when you're winning 35-0 let alone for a 2 minute drill.<br /><br />Rex Grossman gave us the best chance to win. WHAT?!? Seriously Mike?<br /><br />Which leads me to my next point. I wish coaches would stop lying. You guys are human, we understand you make poor decisions. Stop making excuses. Be honest, McNabb was having a sub-par game, you felt putting in a different QB might spark the offense and it blew up in your face. Lesson learned. McNabb played 98% of the game without "hamstring problems", come on man. If Shanahan wants to be on the Skins sideline next year, I suggest Grossman only see the field from the sideline for the rest of the season. If McNabb goes down, you put in Colt Brennan.<br /><br />The bottom line is, I have no clue what Shanny is thinking. He put Haynesworth in his place, which was necessary, but once he proved his point, he wouldn't give up on it. He made it his goal to embarrass Haynesworth just to "prove a point" and he is now trying to do it with McNabb. "I'm the boss...I know what's best at all times...every member of this team will jump when I say jump." Plenty of coaches are no non-sense with out being morons about it. Shanahan was a great coach. If he doesn't get his head on straight, people will begin to doubt that.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04181847285792041577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620274372107752132.post-67944161760476080572010-11-02T02:02:07.370-04:002010-11-02T02:02:07.370-04:00Yeah I agree with you Matt- they could of gone int...Yeah I agree with you Matt- they could of gone into the bye week just focusing on getting better and resting up, but now they gotta deal with the crap about why Shanahan decided to bench McNabb. Maybe having a bye week is going to be the best thing that could happen in this situation since all sides will have a chance to rest up and refocus for the remainder of the season<br /><br />I don't get what Shanahan was trying to accomplish either. I mean yeah McNabb isn't the most greatest passer ever, but he can still throw some bombs here and there. Think of it this way, at least our team is 4-4 and not 1-6 like another certain overrated & overhyped team that was picked to play the Super Bowl this season in their home stadium LOL :D<br /><br />Thanks for the posting, glad to have you on board here! :)Mark Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524379457684964705noreply@blogger.com
