Let's not forget though, that the two TDs came off Panther turnovers deep in their territory. Without those, we'd have 3 points.
As for Zorn, this decline would have happened even if Joe Gibbs were still coaching. The veteran core group of Samuels, Thomas, Rabach, Moss, Randle El, Portis, Griffin, Daniels, and Rogers just isn't very good anymore. The experienced, highly-paid vets are getting old, and the younger guys are lackluster or just flat haven't produced.
The deterioration of this roster is NOT Jim Zorn's fault.
