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.

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.

Re: Redskins vs. Bengals game thread

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

1.Zorn
2.Cowher
3.Other

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.

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.

I say other for the fact that Zorn lost 5 out of six winnable games.

Well, if you're hoping for a more dynamic, quick-scoring offense, don't expect that from a Bill Cowher coached team. He lives for three straight runs and a punt-type offense.

And there's no way Snyder gives his team to another inexperienced coach like Grimm would be.

Exactly. Portis is their guy. I hope it wasn't because Zorn is pissed at CP. Giving the ball to Sellers, a blocker, cost us dearly. Who holds out the ball like that around 8 defenders?

No I wasn't smart enough to call the fumble, and you are right it was a team loss ... But I think the team might be able to execute better and gain some intensity if they diversified their game plan and varied their play calling. It's hard to do great things if you're afraid to try great things. When we had Riggins and the Hogs it was okay that teams knew what we were going to do because we were good enough to do it anyway. We don't have that luxury right now so we have to be more creative. I've been a Redskins fan since Larry Brown and Charlie Harraway were in the backfield and I will be until I die I'm frustrated because we have great potential and can't seem to tap it.
