Troublingly Norvlike. Troublingly.

This is the look of a coach who seems a little lost. This is the look we got from Norv Turner for almost a decade.

Its too early to get too panicked, but I want them to show me something. I just don’t get these coaches and their systems. Campbell has his own problems but it seems like they’re squeezing a round peg into a square hole.

And we need a receiver or two. Malcolm Kelly got bumped up to #2, but he’s just as quiet as Antwaan Randle-El was there last year.

When was the last time the Redskins had two strong receivers? Ten years ago, with Albert Connell and Michael Westbrook, who both quickly flamed out of the league (with one stealing from his teammates).

Okay. On to the first home game and the Rams. A team so bad they… beat us last season (and they only won 2 games).

YIKES.

    I caught part of this game. The color commentator said the Skins have two high draft pick wide receivers who just aren’t getting much action and don’t seem to produce anything.

    After watching about a quarter and a half, I came to the realization that the Skins just don’t have their program together and clicked over to Family Guy.

    I think the Texans should hire Cowher first. Good God, losing to a rookie QB by 17 at home on opening day. Kubiak’s a GENIUS!

    Dude you act like you lost by 30 or something. You got beat yesterday by a beast of a team at their home place. I thought you were more of a deadskins fan than this O Dub. Hell it could be worse, a LOT worse. Did you see the Lions or Rams or Texans play yesterday?

    If yall stink next week at home against a team like the Rams then ok maybe you can start bringing out the Norv Turner references, but you couldn’t have really though yall had that much of a chance against the Giants yesterday and yet it was still relatively close. Less than a touchdown in fact.

    I gotta keep your spirits up until my Cowboys come to town and rip your heart out anyway lol. :)

    You make a strong case, but O-Dub’s main point still stands: Norv Zorn is a drag on the ‘Skins’s potential. And losing a close one to a good team (are the Giants really All That? I guess we’ll find out) in their digs on Opening Day has “Norv” written all over it. I didn’t watch the after presser, but I’m guessing it was damn near as insufferable as back in The Norv Era. With the benefit of hindsight, the way last season played out stinks of High Norvism.

    The Coach is killing me!

    The Jets looked good. Maybe that was because the Texans sucked hard. Embarrassing.

    Meanwhile the Cowboys took care of business against a team they should have beaten as they did. Pencil them in for at least a wild card. No more prima donna distractions.

    Guess Kolb has a few games to prove he belongs in the NFL, before McNabb gets back and Vick shows up…

    Think Cutler was pressing too hard. Has to hurt losing that game and playing that bad while his old team gets the gift of the century against the Bungles.

    I can’t tell whether you guys are poorly coached or your QB sucks. But checking down to a run on 3rd-and-8 because you don’t know the down-and-distance? Ouch. And Fat Albert played a whole lot like a guy who just signed a Fat Contract.
    Just get it together in time to beat the frickin’ Cowboys, ok?
