Redskins vs. Bengals game thread

Maybe I'm just really optimistic during the week, but I really expected us to come out and win this.

All I'm preparing for now is a WHOLE lot locker room and radio show drama this week - it's going to make last week look downright friendly.


Most people did, including me. I thought the D could win this one with giving us 2-3 turnovers and some shorter fields. Guess I was wrong huh? The players are quitting on Zorn, which is a shame. Zorn needs to fiddle with his scheme in the offseason, that is if Snyder keeps him as HC.

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.

You are correct, this was a total team loss.

How do I start a poll asking who is the head coach in 2009:

1.Zorn
2.Cowher
3.Other

no one is jumping ship. most people are probably just ready for next season to begin.

Precisely. Geez I say the Skins are driving their fans mad, and these guys think fans like me are totally losing faith or loyalty to our team. The things that have transpired since the end of 2001 have been totally whack to put in nicely. Snyder doesn't hire the right guy so we can have stability and something concrete to build on. Gibbs should not have been hires, as everyone knew he was gone after say 4 years. Snyder needed to hire an active coach after Spurrier, not the HOF Gibbs, who was gone in a few seasons anyway.

If you are going to write in font 43 at least make sense.

Dude, we're all pissed about the loss, but get a grip????

Dude, just root for the Lions. They're still playing for something.

LMAO, it's sad how true that statement is.

My guess would be option 2. However for option 3 I would like to nominate Russ Grimm. However selecting option 1 is a type II error.

synder needs to wake up a hire a GM and vice president who knows football and let these people do the decisions!!!!!!!!!!!
