The talent level on this team is very low. How many players would rank in either (1) the top ten at their position or (2) a player who has the potential to become a top ten player at his position?

1. McNabb
2. Trent Williams
3. Cooley (Maybe)
4. Orakpo

That's about it unless you think Landry's a top 10 given the defense being run, Haynesworth as a top 10 because he is in the right defense, or Fletcher.

Then, think of the fact that this is the oldest team in the NFL and how many players you want from this roster on the team 3 yrs from now. Basically, the team's a complete disaster and it needs an overhaul of the WR, RB, and OL right now and not too far from now a change in personnel at DL, LB, and DB.

Seeing Lorenzo Alexander or Andre Carter in coverage makes me laugh. How could anyone think that is a good idea?

Don't anyone give up just yet. Rome wasn't built in a day. The deficiencies on this team weren't going to be fixed in one off season. Sahanallehan addressed our two biggest needs last off season; QB and LT. They also got us a pretty good PK, and some serviceable O linemen (that will be backups on this team once they get their guys in here).

Remember the roster purge right before the start of the season? That was done solely to clear cap space and the Redskins will have a ton of it when the new collective bargaining agreement is signed.

There will be a plethora of free agents after this season and the Redskins will be one of the few teams that can restock their roster. Expect some O line help, D line help, another WR (maybe two), a RB, and maybe another linebacker who actually knows how to play in a 3-4.

This season may turn out to be another 5-11 year, but better days are just ahead. That's a fact.

One good thing about this game is that the pressure to watch the Skins for the rest of the year is now officially off. I no longer have to rearrange my Sunday schedule to watch the game live, I'll just dvr the rest of the season and fast forward past the bad parts. Last season I fast forwarded through whole games, there were no good parts. It really is the same ****, different year. For all those saying give Shanahan a chance, it takes time, etc, well we have heard that before too. I would love to see him turn it around, but I am not holding my breath. Someone on the radio this morning said it best, hard to believe this was once a proud franchise. The saddest thing for me is that I grew up cheering for the Redskins, and now I worry my sons will never get that chance. Hard to stomach teaching them to root for losers. **** you, Dan Snyder. I am beginning to think the best we can hope for is for Snyder to Irsay this team to LA, and let us start over with an expansion franchise [insert angry emoticon here]

Probably about the same way the RedDog58 post did...

From Twitter:

Shanahan: Portis' right hand was bothering him so he went down on that long run to avoid fumble

That's not spin Malik. It's a fact. You know where the Redskins sit in salaries for next season as of today? $94.8M, and that's if Hanyesworth and Portis are on the team. If they're both gone that number is $76M. The cap last season was $127M. You've got to figure that next season, if there is one, that number would be $133M or higher. They could conceivably have in excess of $50M to play with. Obviously some of that will have to go to McNabb, but they're going to be able to sign anyone they want.

This uncapped season was huge for the Redskins.

spending money on free agents will obviously make the skins elite.

I called BS on this. Portis looked angry on the sideline and he was back in the game for carries after William and Torian badly missed some blocks.

Rams outcoached our "genius" coach.

Can't convert on 3rd down
Can't get off the field on 3rd down
