What are you doing? What, what, what are you doing? I've decided that you are the one to blame for what is now the Redskins' biggest problem because you're head coach. For years, the biggest problem has been not converting on third downs, but I hereby proclaim that this is no longer true because NO ONE CAN FREAKING CATCH A FOOTBALL.
First, Carlos Rogers couldn't catch, but no one really expected him to suddenly start doing his job, so this wasn't enough to elevate the issue to Threat Level Orange. But then it wasn't just him. Everyone started missing catches and dropping balls until I had to seriously consider the possibility that all the players' bodies have been inhabited by football-repelling aliens. I'm still deliberating.
At least the offense used to be able to catch, but Donovan McNabb insists on throwing a few balls towards Joey Galloway whose motto should be, "Don't throw the ball to me; I'm not even supposed to be here!" because he's not supposed to be there. He should be sitting at home, watching the game on TV beneath a crocheted blanket, muttering to anyone who walks through the room that he could play better than "those young whippersnappers." Because he's old. Did you all catch that?
Anyway, Mike Shanahan, please fix this. Immediately. Santana Moss isn't sucking completely, so maybe get McNabb to keep throwing his way. After this game, please work on catching drills--and I don't mean drills where the players practice catching the football. I want them to literally have to catch power drills and the like (chainsaws, hammers, wrenches, and ballistic missiles are also acceptable). They're never going to get better if you baby them.
Now I'm going to go back to watching the game. You may resume coaching. If you can call it that.
