(Disclaimer: never had any particular animus towards the skins 'till Snyder started suing people who couldn't pay for their season tickets and then -kept- the tickets, only to resell them.). Say you're a competent NFL coach. Why the F would you come work for a guy who is going to first bring in a "consultant" and then castrate you in the middle of the season? Especially when the GM is a complete jackass? They may make money, but they're turning into the Raiders of the east. High profile talent, no team cohesion. Guys like Snyder cannot win.

Simply an attempt to save face going into the MNF game. Of course, it won't save face and the team will get destroyed vs Philly. Zorned! Hilarious.

Give Jason Campbell any kind of offensive line at all and he could be a top ranked quarterback. His contract is up this year and if he and his agent were smart he would get out of there.

Just have someone from front office Human Resources schedule the on-field personnel, since then the job only involves counting to eleven. The team might pressure this individual to save money by putting out ten or nine, but would the results be any worse? These Redskins could be a new model of efficiency for the League!

I don't see Sherm Lewis making any difference. No matter what Zorn called, the offense managed to botch things for numerous reasons, most of which Zorn has no control over. Zorn is a scapegoat. The two biggest problems of this team are: 1)Snyder/Cerrato; and 2)Jason Campbell, now in his FIFTH season, who continues to be inconsistent. When he's on, he's on and when he's not, he is AWFUL. Not just off but AWFUL and you can pretty much count on him being awful in the Red Zone or when the team needs a big play out of the QB. These are the facts and Jim Zorn has no control over them.

I can't... 6 teams with 0 or 1 wins, and 4 more that are 2-4. Plus, the Titan's yesterday gave a second performance that no NFL team ever should, along with Tampa's 86 offensive yard game a couple weeks ago.
