Redskins vs. Bengals game thread

How is it possible that at 6-2 I was Horny for Zorny and now I'm Power for Cowher?

WE LOST TO THE BANGELS (along with other games we should have won) MAN COME ON ZORN CAN NOT CALL A GAME HE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO BEING A QB COACH..............

It's hard to put it all on Zorn when players are showing off after TDs, not making smart decisions with the football in the red zone, running routes shorter than the 1st down marker, committing stupid penalties...

At some point the players have to be accountable too.

Right now this team reminds me of a "in it for the beer" softball team or something. I don't see any frustration on the sidelines, or any surprised faces for that matter. About the only players I saw some emotion from was London Fletcher, and Rock Cartwright.

Bite the bullet and clean house and rebuild, it's way overdue.

I'm just tired of changing systems.

Cowher and his 4 inch thick chin would end all that bullshit...

Cowher would never come to Wash. Cowher operates on the idea that the head coach runs the team. The Redskins dont operate that way. The players answer to the owner not the head coach and until that changes it will be the same old thing we have seen for the last 10+ years.

Exactly. People keep talking about Cowher but why in the hell would he come here and work for an owner like Snyder? I doubt it's going to happen.

The first three series of this game started with extremely vanilla, first down runs by Clinton Portis. (Amazingly, the Bengals were not taken by surprise). In fact, it was so ridiculous, that I was able to predict every play in those first three series with the exception of the end around. Here’s my point … If I can predict Zorn’s play calls, I’m sure coaches around the NFL can … even the Bengals.
We are pretty good at protecting the ball … THREE DOWNS AT A TIME. It’s not hard to protect it if you don’t do anything with it. I know that it’s legal to throw on first down; I see other teams do it fairly effectively. I’m also sure that it’s legal to throw unrestricted distances … Who knows, it might even generate some intensity and excitement on the field.
Would someone please remind Mr. (barely worthy to call coach) Zorn that he used to be a quarterback who threw the ball with some regularity … and it’s not just an option on third and long (which we find ourselves in way too often). We run when it’s obvious and we pass when it’s obvious …. It almost makes me throw up. My gosh … it’s the Bengals … … … The BENGALS !!

So I guess your so smart that you called the Cooley fumble. It start there and then our D let us down in the 1st qtr then in the 4th but it did not help with all the mistakes in between. This was a team loose and not to be blamed on any one player.

No I wasn't smart enough to call the fumble, and you are right it was a team loss ... But I think the team might be able to execute better and gain some intensity if they diversified their game plan and varied their play calling. It's hard to do great things if you're afraid to try great things. When we had Riggins and the Hogs it was okay that teams knew what we were going to do because we were good enough to do it anyway. We don't have that luxury right now so we have to be more creative. I've been a Redskins fan since Larry Brown and Charlie Harraway were in the backfield and I will be until I die I'm frustrated because we have great potential and can't seem to tap it.

he is not a head coach. it's too much for him. why do you think that in his 10 years with seattle he was never promoted to coordinator?

[skinsfan69]

What pisses me off the most is when we constantly throw passes short of the 1st down markers. It just getting old. We must be last in the NFL in plays of 25 yards or more and we probably lead the NFL in passes under 10 yards.

The players have 0 respect for Zorn
Portis is the best player in a Skins uniform and even he called him out
Dink and Dunk, throwing Cooley screen passes on 3rd downs? Come on
Go back to Seattle where I guess you're a legend but you have no place running an NFL football team...
