I mean Johnson throwing a perfect TD pass on his first pass play in the NFL? Hunter Smith going down with an injury on the first punt? It just seems like week in and week out its just one mistake/bad luck after another. Further, every week we question Jim Zorn's decision making but when the guy explains his decisions, they actually make a lot of sense and seem like the right decision within the context of what happened. His play calling could be greatly improved but it seems that the poor guy is just trying to stay level headed and do the best he can but just everything seems to go wrong...
Any thoughts?

Injuries happen. It happened to our O-line last yr. Good teams can fight through this. At the risk of sounding like I'm making excuses for Zorn, it's easy for all of us to look at a play after it's failure and question why it was called. I know he's trying to change things up so teams won't know what he's going to do at any given time. Also there are two sides to every story. He calls a play and it's successful ...he's a genius. He call a play and it's a bomb he's an idiot. In both cases he most likely would have an reason as to why he called the play and especially if it doesn't work cause he's going to have to answer for it later.
Maybe we need more time in this offense but it kills me to see teams running their plays all preseason getting ready for the regular season. They basically say these are our plays, we know they are good plays, try to figure out a way to stop it or we'll beat you. They don't care if other teams know the plays. It always seems like the Skins are afraid to divulge anything. Like "oh my god if the other teams see our plays we won't be able to run them" so they go vinella during preseason and the team has trouble getting the plays down during the season.
Wins a win. Good job Skins. I thought they would lose so I'll eat my crow, but I just don't like the ugly wins. This brand of football will not lead us to any chanpionships.
