Where is Bobby Beathard when you need him Seems like the skins slide began when Beathard left. The string of GM's have been dismal at best since his departure.

yeah this is the excact crap so called "fans" have after a lss like this. so yea we shoul fire bruce & shanahan, we should cut hall, trade orakpo, fred davis, & t williams, we should change. oue uniforms and move to LA. maybe then you would see sunny mornings. this team is still rebuilding like it or not. shanny gets 2 more years if we're lucky.....then this tree will bear fruit.

Griffin, Morris, Williams, Davis, Garcon, Kerrigan, Orakpo, Jenkins, Riley, Fletcher. When we wake up tomorrow we have our franchise QB and 2/3 of the other teams in the league are looking and will be looking for a long time for one. The glass is half full. If folks thought this team was competing for a Superbowl this year that was not reality.

The defensive regression is a big disappointment, but with injuries + players expected to perform that are not, it is very explainable.

These things don't turn around overnight and the most important piece is in place, RGIII.

The biggest issue on this team is it's secondary. If you get one quality safety and a quality corner this offseason then with the players we have, we have depth all of a sudden.

I think the drops today were an abomination. Something that happened and we'll have to get over it. I think that Hankerson needs to step up the rest of the season and show what he can do. Also, I think we were trying to showcase Briscoe for trade bait. Given a rash of injuries in the NFL, we might get something for him. Would be nice if it could be a younger safety or corner but I doubt it.

Not every team can have an excellent secondary, but it is possible to have a decent secondary that you make look excellent with your front 7. Unfortunately, we lost Orakpo and, I think more importantly Carriker, in addition to having what DBs we do have routinely injured (or out on suspension). It would be great if this no-name crew of defensive backs could step up and play awesome, but how much can they really do when the opposing QB doesn't get hit at all? Even *sh$t* receivers could get open with that much time (and they don't have *sh$t* receivers). I'm more concerned about the way they ran on us.

What decline is anyone seeing?

Do people forget how terrible we were last year???

I didn't see the game. Stupid Smeagles and Falcons were on down here in the Deep South. But, the stats would say that we were improved on D. We held Big Ben to like 222 yds passing. That is the first time we have allowed less than 300 this season, I think. I know the run D shut down, and that may be why they didn't have to pass as much. Not sure how the attempts for Ben were compared to other games. Just my observation.

I live in Northern California, and I typically get responses like "right on, RGIII!" Or "wow man, you guys lost a LOT of key players" but have NEVER had any negative crappy unless it was a pie/iggle/gnat fan. You can call the franchise a laughingstock, but outside the beltway and talking pumpkinhead pundits, I don't see it. Danny did put his finger in the fan, but he learned his lesson and has been good(and patient)

Everybody pretty much played sloppy except Sir III, in pouring rain, against a perennial playoff caliber team with a top 5/10 QB. Fletcher missed tackles on a couple of big runs. Does he suck? Moss dropped passes, does he? The goat grope snowballed, we nerd to move on. To me , it seems like we need to fix the secondary(do-able), get back key IR starters(hopefully do-able) and not read so much into our depth players not being top notch starters. The playing time makes them better.
