Time to fire Haslett

Slate is always out to fire somebody.  He should work for the federal government

Time to fire Haslett

This team looks like horsecrap

"There are still 14 games left!"

[Mathguy]

That does not have anything to do with how they look now

"There are still 14 games left!"

[HalfSmokes]

The Rams must be excited.

So where does this rank on the list of all time bad trades?

[PC]

The Redskins can only score when they're hopelessly behind.

It allows RG3 to pad his stats so he doesn't look like a horrendous mistake

He's going to be a great QB. And this start will (with any luck) silence him on Twitter.

At this point I'd take Kapernick (remember,  there was just money to draft that year,  had to go with Beck)  and the picks (or Wilson and the picks)

Oh, me too. But no one imagined he'd be what he turned out to be. Not even the Niners.

I thought we had a head coach paid millions to be able to do that?  Even if RG3 is great,  you're seeing the effects of the McNabb and RG3 trades - that's four players (2 for McNabb,  2 for rg3 since I'm assuming one of the three we've given up so far would still have been a qb)  who should be starting and the porous secondary and crap O line could be far better

Federal government can't fire anyone

[Slateman]

Rams must be getting excited at the Top 5 pick the Skins are going to hand them

[Smithian]

The Redskins can and must win 3 of the next 4.

[Optics]

Take last year's team and replace RG3 with Gabbert/Sanchez. That's basically what we are right now.

What makes you so confident about it? I'm not seeing anything to be confident about.

[mitlen]

If the Steelers didn't suck so bad, I'd troll this thread.

All starts with the QB. If RG3 returns to form, we can hang with anyone. I mean this is still mostly the same team that reeled off seven in a row last year. The problem is right now we are getting nothing from our QB until it's too late.

Detroit will be tough next week, but beatable. Then we get the Raiders in Oakland, they look improved but another winnable game. Then 2-2 going into the bye.

Seasons can change quick in the NFL.

Things are never as bad nor as good as they seem. It's pretty bleak but we have two winnable games coming up and a BYE. It could look a bit better soon.

[HalfSmokes]

The Lions look winnable,  but hall on Johnson doesn't inspire confidence -  they'll need to score and the just laid an egg against the same offense that Kapernick shredded last week (likewise the chargers just ran up 33 on the eagles) -  Griffen needs to get right fast

[spidernat]

The BYE will beat the Redskins by double digits.

If Griffin doesn't start becoming a running threat they're in major trouble. He's either not ready to play (and he should sit if that's the case) or he and his father are trying to convince everyone that Griffin can be Warren Moon (and he's no Warren Moon). Griffin needs to be a double threat or he's an average QB. The defense freaking sucks. It's one thing to see rookies struggle but I'm sick of watching veterans take it in the ass.

Did Fletcher retire?   

@ Orakpo for talking crap on the sidelines when he doesn't produce even at an average level.

We really don't have any other choice than to let him play thru it.

[imref]

no need to panic, the Redskins play in the NFC East where it looks like 8-8 or 9-7 will be enough to win the division.

[HalfSmokes]

The record is ok (not great,  but green bay could easily sweep the division,  the loss to the Eagles is worse,  but we have another shot at them),  it's how bad the offense has started out and,  even worse,  how putrid the defense has been
