If we made those 7 receptions then he would have been 21 for 30. I know our WR are rookies or inexperienced, but this is the NFL. You have got to make those catches. Also WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ROBISKIE????? He has been inactive over half the games we have played! Is it an injury that we aren't hearing about, or is it a personal difference between him and the coaching staff. Either way he is the 36th overall pick from last year's draft. He needs to be out there learning like the others. Besides he probably has the best hands on the team, and I know he runs good routes. He could only help our weak passing attack. By the way, what happened to the deep attack that we used with success against the Lions??? With 5+ minutes to go in the game Quinn was 14 out of 30, and the WR had already recorded 7 drops.

That was an error. Well I actually meant that Holmgren is not going to do anything for this team. That was an error.

Holmgren is not with the team...yet. I agree with beerman. We need to get Holmgren in here NOW!!! If not, at least go ahead and fire Mangini now so we can throw out some "feelers" to Cowher, and see if he is interested. I know he will decline to interview or anything until after the season, but you could at least get an idea if he would be interested. If he is interested that would be the only way I wouldn't go and hire Holmgren now. I can guarantee that Cowher won't coach under a "czar". I don't think that Cowher will take the job anyhow, but we need to do/know something. If we do hold out on hiring Holmgren then I think there is a good chance he will use us as bait to get a big deal in Seattle. Timing is everything and we need to act now. We could fire Mangini and in less than a week know if Cowher would be interested. If he isn't then THROW A BOAT LOAD OF MONEY at Holmgren and get him here. He won't keep Mangini anyhow so we could pave the road for him to have a smooth take over. He could bring in the coach he wants, the GM he wants(I don't really have a problem if he wants to do it), and we could start trying to right the ship right away. If he does, I hope whatever coach he brings in will keep Ryan as defensive coach(I know we haven't looked good defensively the last couple of games or all year for that matter, but they play hard and he is a proven coach), and make a strong push to get Weis(fired today from Notre Dame) as offensive coordinator(who has already been contacted by 6 NFL teams as reported by ESPN). It would reunite him with Quinn(if he is going to be our starter)and he knows how to use him best. He is also a proven winner. As for Quinn; like beerman said he is basically a rookie, there is going to be growing pains, and besides that this NFL draft class is pretty weak at QB anyhow. So why bring in another rookie QB and pay them a boat load of money to be right back in the same position. No matter what happens, it is going to take time. I know Mangini hasn't been given that, but he also has caused the team to regress. Unless a miracle happens I don't see us finishing with a better record this year than last year. All he has done since he has been here was, ship out talent, dodge and duck questions, acuse other teams of cheating, oh and most important reduced the fan base!!!!!
