I highly doubt the Lions finish the season as 31st or 32nd

Haha, true but that's where they were...we might end up 31st or 32nd at this rate.

The Redskins are not a hungry team. They are grossly overpaid and collectively achieving less than mediocre results. Someone mentioned today that Haynesworth was the highest paid on the team, above Campbell, Portis, Cooley, Moss, etc. It's hard for me to watch Haynesworth be exhausted and hurt. I know Portis fights through injuries tough and silent. And making less money. Unfortunately Haynesworth is not the only disappointment. Also included are Rogers, Hall, Dockery and both lines.

I don't think Zorn is that bad of a head coach, I just think his play calling sucks. We are not sustaining drives, which makes me ask why? We are currently 14/37 on 3rd downs, that's pretty damn bad. NFL.com has our opponents at 22/43, that's not great but it's over 50%. We haven't been blown out, we've lost by a TD in both games. Regardless of who we are playing...blah...blah any given Sunday.
We need someone calling the plays other than Zorn. The offense is firing the passing game up (Currently 11th with 249.7 avg), and our running game is sucking (currently 24th with 91.7 avg.). Last year our avg.. passing yards a game was 189.1, and rushing was 130.9.
We've improved on passing, and regressed on rushing the ball. We need someone to call the plays that Zorn has in place. That is how we improve our offense, without firing Zorn (immediately).

The coaches arent great but these players are bums too. I really dont think there is any coach out there that can get these guys to play. If they fire JZ the season really is over. I'm hoping this loss will wake these losers up but I really doubt it. I think huge changes on need to be made on this team because changing coaches wont be enough to make a difference, there are a lot of players that gotta go.

I'm probably going to catch a lot of flack for this but I'm finding it hard to root for this team going forward. If they are going to be bad I want it to be what President Bush would call a five spiral crash. At least then there might be some significant changes. As long as we keep winning 6-9 games a year as we have been since Spurrier left, they'll keep finding ways to convince themselves they are close. I don't know exactly what the problem is but it seems pretty clear to me that this incarnation of "core Skins" as Gibbs would say are never going to put it together.

Now what? Time to get ready for Tampa Bay.

the bottom line is you can't make huge changes during the season. snyder made his bed so now he has to lie in it. firing zorn at this point would not be the smart thing to do cause he wears so many hats. and you can bench guys but are the players behind the starters better? maybe but probably not. so right now you can't hit the panic buttom. we've got to try and go out and beat TB.

I can't believe that I'm starting to think the same thing, and its only week 4!

Well its has taken sometime but I just don't let how the Skins play affect me any more. Before it would take days for me to get over a loss but I was over this loss in about 5 min. That might have come with age, maybe all of the loosing has something to do with it, but I decided a few years back not to let these losses bring me down. It did help watching my 3 yr. old daughter cheere as we lost the game and I looked at her and could only smile as she had no clue. I'll keep watching every game but I just will not let it bring me down as there is alot more to life then a football game or team.

My brother-in-law gave up on the Redskins a few years back. I don't know if it was the Norv Turner fiasco, Steve Spurrier circus or Marty Schottenheimer firing but he disassociated himself from the team and went to the dark side. He is a full fledged Cowboy fan. I thought he did it just to piss off the rest of family. But...you know...there is a limit to the amount of bullshit you can withstand. These last two games...no...these last two seasons are trying. I'm either delusional or crazy to keep thinking this team is going to turn the corner. I'm not jumping ship like my brother-in-law. I'll stop watching football all together before I become a Cowboy fan. I watch the games, knowing the Skins are not that good and things are not going to get much better anytime soon. Firing Jim Zorn or replacing Jason Campbell is not going to fix this organization. It needs an overhaul.

1) Prepare your self for a below 500 season.
2) Know that any games won will be low scoring and ugly.
3) Pray the season can't end fast enough.
4) Watch a lot of the Capitals and hopefully Wizards.
5) Anticipate who the next coach will be.

The Wizards Blow so you can expect them to be watching the playoffs again.
