Well it looks like we aren't complete nihilists, nobody has voted for 0-4 yet.

Muchas gracias for taking up that mantle

... it's just so damn hard because I want to hope for another playoff run and mostly to just see improvement on offense - solid execution, development among the rooks, and some friggin points - but when the offense continues to come out flat and play sloppy and the disappointment keeps rising... blah

Hey why not? It's not like we haven't seen this team rattle off big winning streaks to finish off the season before.

A little too early to throw Zorn under the bus. We have to give him time. I do not want us to become a revolving door for head coaches that does not benefit anyone and makes us look bad. If we want to be an elite team we have to have consistency.

1-3

This is what I posted in another thread:

Atlanta is 8-4 right now, they would only need to go 2-2 to get to 10-6 and get that 6th playoff spot. We need to go 3-1 and right now realistictly....

vs. Baltimore - tough as nails defense, we could only win if their offense is subpar...but their defense is just too good. (L)

vs. Bengals - we could win this one. (W)

vs. Iggles - A "we should win" game, but they have a good front four in defense that could disrupt our game.

@ San Fran - and this would be our Rams part 2 game, a team we should be able to beat easily, but could end up losing. (L)

Even if we beat the Bengals and S.F., that would put us at 9-7, not good enough to get that 6th playoff spot in the NFC this year, unless a whole bunch of people lose.

I say we lose to Baltimore, beat San Fran and Cinci, and the Eagles game is a toss up. So, i'm looking at 3-1 at best 2-2 at worst.

2-2, miss the playoffs

[IowaSkinsFan]

1-3. It's a toss up between beating Cincy or SF. One, not both.

[novaman]

I see us finishing 1-3. Call me a pessimist, but our offense is OFFENSIVE!!!

If we score 20 points, it's as if we won the jackpot!!

Additionally, I really have to question the hiring of Jim Zorn. Nice guy, but I just don't see him emerging as a top coach in this league.

Suggestion: Let go of some of the reigns, Mr. Snyder. Go out and hire Bill Cowher after the season, hire a GM, get Jason Campbell a big target wide receiver (infuse Thomas and Kelly little by little), re-build the O-line, and get a stud pass rushing DE.
If he (i.e Zorn) is willing keep him as a Quarterbacks Coach.
This would be a MAJOR step in the right direction.

Yes, let's just start all over again with another coach which means another system, new personnel, etc.

Brilliant.

I think you just have to admire the posters assertiveness. I mean, not only does he suggest that Zorn will likely never be a great coach, but then he suggests that we replace him with a man that through 15 seasons was only able to prove that he could survive in the very most stable situation in the NFL.

I mean, to think that Cowher has a rats chance in hell of lasting two years in Washington, you've got to respect someone with those type of cajones!

Because bringing in a new coach and new GM is the answer? That will set us back 2-3 years. We will be that team that is always "rebuilding". You got to give Zorn a chance. We need to address our lines if we are going to be successful. If you cannot pressure the other teams' qb and yours is getting knocked around I do not care if Vince Lombardi is the coach, it is hard to be successful.
