Redskins vs. Bengals game thread

As bad as Zorn's dink and dunk bullshit offense has been I hope Cowher doesn't come here. Does this guy have some special magic wan of something??

Cowher will make players tremble in their gold boots...

Something that Gibbs (I love Gibbs) and Zorn could never do...

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.

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 !!

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?

not w/o Dick Labeau

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.

I see your point, But Zorn has clearly lost the team. Maybe we need to get rid of some players, But someone needs to go!

I think it's more of a players thing. Zorn doesn't have his type of players to runt he WCO. Like someone said earlier: we don't have any tall receivers really. We don't have that 6'4 guy to throw the post to. The offensive line is not built for WCO. The Defensive line never gets any pressure and is not that good against the run.

I think after another off season he'll be able to add some talent and move some things around to suit what he wants to do on offense better. Defense has a great secondary and a little bit of pressure up front would cure alot of their break downs.

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

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...

The blame lies squarely with the owner and the Pres of operations, Snyder and Cerrato. They pick the players and the HC. This is what we are destined for until Snyder is no longer the owner.
