Whether it was against Washington or another team doesn't really matter. We live in a world where the Cubs may still win a pennant someday. Things happen. I wish Washington's fans would stop crying.

I have oodles more respect for Dick than Buddy Ryan, although Rex Ryan is showing that he's seriously got chops this year with the Jets.

As for the Redskins, it has become painfully simple where the problem lies. Every meglomaniac owner who shoves thier noses in the middle of football operations ends up sucking but does it with tons of flash. Saints(Who Dat!) and Bears won so I am happy.

I told ya when he was hired that we Seattlites were scratching our heads/laughing out loud, and Zorn's our hometown guy. At best, during his time here, he was one-part spaceman and one-part god freak. But, you know, he threw dodgeballs at the QBs, so that makes him a genius. EVERYONE was calling for the Lions to beat the Skins last week. So the real indictment of Zorn is that he couldn't rally the troops around that and use it as motivation leading up to the game. Instead, the first half was a shambles. THAT is why Zorn must go. Leave it to Snyder. He just got... ZORNED! Sorry.

I seriously doubt firing Zorn is the answer; although hiring him certainly wasn't. Washington would markedly improve if ownership simply adopted a hands-free approach and leave the football to people who know what they're doing. Blaming Zorn is like blaming Art Shell for the Raiders' 2-14 season in 2006. Sure, he didn't do much to help the situation, but it was hardly his fault. . . and it's not like Lane Kiffin (or his DC equivalent) is going to be any better.
