Three things...

1. The whistle call was an important part of the game. It was a momentum changer in a game where momentum is everything.

2. The loss of Orakpo and Carriker were bigger than we could have imagined. Those guys change the way our "lesser" players are defended. With Orakpo in the game, Bowen may only get 1 person on him, which he can easily beat. Without Orakpo, he gets doubled and isn't talent enough to consistenly beat it. Hopefully Rak can stay healthy moving forward.

U can look up north to Baltimore for the same results. Their defense wasn't the same without T Sizzle. Then with Ray out and their best DB, their defense completely collasped. That mantra of "next man up" is BS IMO. There are limits to depth.

3. Fans demanding a coaching change... <snore>. If anyone is going to go, it will prolly be Haz. But I doubt it. He's playing without the players he was "promised" at saftey. No upgrades at CB. -1 probowl OLB. And without one of his better DE's. That's a heck of an issue to overcome.

To CLL's post - I agree, the call came at a bad time and as Mike P. said on air - the call should have been changed, the refs should have sucked it up

as far as advocating for a coaching change - not so fast

I do not like what we've seen for the most part of the past 9 games but at the same time I'm not so sure I'd say it's ALL due to the coaching

I'm not a fan of the HC - I'm really disappointed in what we've seen from the players due to the 'leadership' of both Kyle and Jim ..

that being said - I'm not looking for all out house-cleaning here .... well ..... not just yet

not good though - especially with an owner like we have who does not have a SINGLE clue about owning an NFL franchise

I was against keeping Banks on the roster going into this year, and I hope by now the coaches agree with me. They took a gamble on him and lost, and it's time to give up on the idea that he has long-term potential. With the rule change on kickoffs and our porous defense, he only has half the chances to do anything, and while that's been enough to make a half-dozen boneheaded plays he has yet to create a positive game-changing moment.

Meanwhile, the trick plays on offense with him have gone from "that wasn't too bad, I guess" to flacid.

Whatever edge he brought on returns is gone — I'm guessing due to the injuries he's battled. And with our best receivers either injured or not performing, we badly need that roster spot for a real NFL WR.

If I'm Shanahan, I call Banks into my office this morning, thank him for everything he's done the past three years, cut him, and give Terrence Austin a call.

How many guys did the Pac have on IR the year they won it all? 15?

Yeah, I know, we aren't the Packers.

Exactly.

Don't get me wrong. I still love the Redskins. I will cheer in two weeks against the Eags. But right now we are in a bad way and we can't blame injuries. We are probably "relatively" healthy but as we all knew in advance we lacked the depth to deal with it and that's on ... you know who.

This one hurt. This isn't one the Redskins can afford to lose.

The comments by Shanahan were inexcusable, but it's pretty clear that the team showed little effort in this game.

I'm pretty beat up today about this one.

There are 2 things about this game that really disappointed me ...

1 going for the TD on 4th down when you as a HC know that the defense has not shown they can stop anyone

AND

2 the defense then allowing the Panthers to go 99 yards and score a TD

devastating

as a HC you can decide to have a go at a TD when you are absolutely positive your defense will NOT allow the other team to then go and score

we are not that team - Mike has to take the 3 at that time

Even at HOME.....we couldn't get a BREAK

SUX

I typically blame players for not executing the plays given, however, Kyles redzone offense has been an issue. Our highly rated passer isn't being allowed to throw the ball.

The other issue is that, Alfred Morris is being taken off the field for Evan Royster... Royster sucks. Helu sucks. You don't take your best players off the field when you get into the most important area of the field. And quite frankly, Roysters blocking isn't good enough to warrant his appearances.

The season isn't over, but it's time to make some gut checks.
