Zorn can stick Colt when we're 0-4, ok? In the second half JC played better when the o-line gave him time and when the WRs weren't dropping the ball. That bomb that Moss missed was partly Moss' fault b/c he stopped. Moss also dropped a short pass, and when JC had time to pass there were no receivers open. I'm not saying JC was perfect, but he adjusted in the second half. Unfortunately we were behind and our 2:00 minute drill play calling sucks. The team needs to get its act together, but we shouldn't throw in the towel, that's just stupid.

Agreed. By what standards could anyone say Cambell had a bad game? 15 for 27, 133 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT's, and an 81.3 passer in his first game with a new offense against one of the nastiest defenses in the league? Cmon, if we're going to criticizing, how bout Cooley? Where was he tonight, except for when he was getting bowled over when blocking the rush? Perhaps his thoughts were on his next blog and how he's going to spend more of that big old signing bonus he wrote so much about.

I would have been very unhappy if Zorn put in Brennan. A lot of you know how happy I am that we picked Colt, but if Zorn put him in the game week 1, then that would show 0% confidence in Campbell. That would be a moronic move, and if he did that, I'd be ready to fire Zorn. Did campbell play well? Absolutely not! But you let Zorn review the tapes and work with Campbell, you don't pull the rug out week 1. If we're 2-11 and it's mainly campbell's fault...sure, I can see the move, but this is Campbell's team, and you let him work through it. Campbell played MUCH better in the 2nd half, hopefully he will build on it.

I am a little concerned at how quick everyone is ready to hit the panic button. It's not even "hitting" the panic button, it's jumping on it over and over and over. Relax guys, we can do this (lose) about 6 more times and we can still make the playoffs.

well im going to bed and try to sleep ths over, an hope it dont get me down for the rest of the NFL opening weekend=] NIght! everyone!

JC and Carlos Rogers need to get on the same f@cking bus out of town! I swear if I keep hearing all the JC and Rogers excuses I might just JUMP OFF A FUCKIN BRIDGE!

Second - our O line and D line need to improve, and I think it was a BAD idea to have Taylor out there not 100%

Third – Coach your team, Zorn. Don’t run the damn ball over and over when it doesn’t work, even if Portis tells you to!!!

Landry - THANK YOU for trying to save the game and make plays.

Cooley - sorry dude.. drop your love for JC.. he's a mess.

Moss - nice try, catch the ball EVERY TIME, even if it's not a good throw.

.. We suck.. and I'm going to bed... wake me when Collins is QB again.

How did you watch the game and not think Carlos Rogers was our best player on either side of the ball.

Like Skinsfan69 said, it's always personal with you. I think Carlos Rogers could win the Comeback Player of the year award, and you would be harping on stuff he did wrong in 2006.

Are you kidding? Brooks was obviously the best player. He was on the field just about as much as the defense was.

I laughed at this the first time I read it, but now I am not so sure it's actually untrue. We had a lot of players that looked lost, or didn't perform to standards. Brooks was fairly consistant, and not bad overall.

Are you sure you aren't getting Landry and Rogers confused? Rogers was NOT our best player....

Stop trying to make this some kind of personal attack, ok? Please tell me how you think it's personal? I mean to make it personal I'd have to know the guy, or some how be personally involved in his career or life. It isn't a personal attack and I'm NOT the only fan that feels this way about JC and Rogers. Turn on sports talk 980... and you'll find quite a few people that agree with me!!! I am passionate about my Skins, that I am! If Rogers played well I would praise him, and I've done that before with him and JC. So instead of calling my opinon "personal".... why not list all the reasons you think I’m wrong.

Well speaking on behalf of the board, it just appears that this entire offseason, you've had little to no praise for the guy, and it is a steady constant. After a while, it just gets annoying to read over and over again

Until I see improvement he isn't going to get praise. However, when he does have good games I DO praise him, so on "behalf of the board" feel free to look up my posts about the first three preseason games when JC did seem to be improving some. As for Rogers.. he's been hurt so I haven't said much about him at all until now. But he said he's 100% and I see no change from the first day he arrived.

[CRedskinsRule]

a loss hurts, and i think campbell bears the burden for the offense, he is the QB, BUT for a first regular season game under Zorn, i think it was ok. the defense held even after smoot game out, Campbell was over 50%, and we have 15 games left to go

[skinsfan69]

People...the Giants are a better football team than we are. They are better where it counts most. In the trenches!
