What he said!
Where as an organization do we go from here? Seriously......we were just trying to "hang on" against an 0-19 team? Embarrassing...
The sky is officially falling....We are obviously not gaining productive ground here. We're just marking off days
sorry...

Does it make sense to fire a head coach after 19 games? Granted, he's 3-8 since starting 6-2, but it can't be completely Zorn's fault, can it?

Is Zorn trying too hard? It seems to me that he's going over the top in trying to outsmart the opponent, and in doing so, is failing. Is it time to dumb down the offense and go back to basics?

What adjustments does Blache and the defense have to make from here going forward? They made Matthew Stafford look like the best thing since sliced bread in the first half, and this is a unit that cannot allow that kind of play for this team to be successful.

And while Zorn and Campbell are taking the brunt of the criticism for the poor start, when do the players start looking at themselves and realize that they aren't putting their best foot forward? Receivers not getting beyond the sticks on 3rd down to convert, taking bad angles, knowing when to press and when to have a cushion?

Tony,

Why?

What do we do to right the ship? Will this finally be the game that forces Danny to realize that his system failed? Will Washington finally get a GM? Will Vinny finally be let go?

Is it alright to cry now?

Has Campbell been having more trouble lately getting the snap cleanly. Seems like every game there anywhere from 5-10 plays where he just doesnt get into his drop cleanly, esp from shotgun. Just ruins chances to execute a play when your trying to resecure the ball constantly.

Tony,

Is it time for the team to start the process of parting ways with Clinton Portis? The running game has been a non-factor so far this season. And while there may be issues with the line, he is not the same RB he used to be. Any chance the team tries to shop him around and gets some compensation for him?

Tony,

Is now the time for a players only meeting?

What message does it send to the players in the locker room if a coaching change is made in season?

Is the problem really Zorn or is that Zorn has surrounded himself with other inexperienced offensive play callers?

Who should be the General Manager and who should be the head coach of the team?
