Make it a bottle and you've got a deal.

Sorry my drinking days are behind me. Though I guess this is the type of safe bet my Dad use to always make. Like when he would stand under the basketball hoop while I would put up shots.

9-7 and he stays .. BUT, that's a long ass way to go .. we just lost to the Lions, are 3-8 in the last 11 and have NEVER scored over 30 pts since the Z Man .. i mean i'm a big Z and JC supporter but it's really hard to back the Z Man with the calls this year and last .. JC is making plays .. somewhat .. Z Man has to get the O rockin' or it's another laughing stock season .. god it's tough when you have such high hopes ..

it's more than Zorn first of all ...

blache has ALOT to do with the games we've already lost. point blank.

i've been saying all along if things change u know, maybe we dont have to fire the staff...

simple enough, if the subtle things change, we WILL start winning...

if they dont .... happy trails... evreybody but Bugel should go.

I think Zorn needs to win 10 games and look good doing it to survive. He may even need to make the playoffs but if I were DS I'd have to think long and hard before I fired a coach who won double digit games. I don't think just scraping over the bar at 9-7 will save Zorn because there will be too many highly qualified HC candidates available for DS to settle for a mediocre coach.



That would require beating some very good teams

Well the way we look now I would be happy if we even made the playoffs. If we make the playoffs he will surely stay.

Why would you fire the coach you ( Synder) hired and he turned the team around after losing to the Lions. If we make the playoffs that would mean we must be playing much better offense and defense. The only team I know who fired their coach for making the playoffs is the Chargers ( Marty Shottenheimer). We are a far cry from making the playoffs as of right now. I guess we can still dream.

Based on DS i think we go 10-6 win a playoff game JZ stays & we sign JC to a nice contract.

When that happens Armageddon wil be a........thing of the past.

OH, and JZ stays IF, we demonstrate a modicum of change. The "new" guys start producing. Innovation can be seen in the play calling, and F..n time mgmt. AND we don't limp and LUCK our way to a w-card only to get spanked in the WC game.
A clear step forward.....NOT a...see ya' next season for more of the same. I personally am WAY tired of "Groundhog Day". YOU KNOW, inspiring confidence to all that we actually may know WTF we're doing?

Trust me, 9-7 and Zorn and Blache are out of here. I think 9-7 and a first round playoff berth and they're gone.

A second round playoff appearance, Hunter Smith knocking out the lights of Jerry's Jone's screen per Zorn, Zorn on his knees begging Danny to keep his job, run a few fire drills, 50 push-ups, 100 sit ups and Danny might let him stay.

If Zorn makes the playoffs, Ill be happy and wont complain, but Im am still in favor of firing Vinny and hiring a real GM regardless. I would def but 4 Zorn and JC staying if we do make the playoffs.

At this point and with this schedule 9-7 would represent an epic turnaround. The combined records of the next three opponents is 0-9 so really you need to get those wins, but it is very unlikely they go 3-0. Hopefully you can beat Tampa Bay and Kansas City, legitimately bad teams, at home. I don't see the Skins going into the Carolina, facing a desperate team who is coming off a bye week, and stealing a victory. So that puts you, best case, 3-3 heading into the varsity portion of the schedule. If Zorn can come up with 6 wins against the NFC East, New Orleans, @ Atlanta, and @ San Diego he really would be doing something. That is eight of the games, he also gets to face Denver at home (who looks improved on defense, if not quite as good as 3-0 would suggest), and a terrible Oakland team on the road. Even the Oakland game will be tough because it is a West Coast trip. If you come out of that 9-7, after the way they looked against St. Louis and Detroit, then Zorn would really have done something good. It seems pretty hard to imagine right now. If they play at the level they have so far you are looking at something like 6-10 or worse.

Frankly we will know a lot more after this week. If you lose to Tampa than you have now dropped 2 conference games to two of the worst teams in the conference. Forget playoffs at that point because you won't be winning any tiebreakers. Then it just becomes a bunch of guys playing for their jobs and it will get even uglier.

Wow. This is a tough question. I don't know what keeo Zorn here other than a complete turn around before the bye week. If we limp into the bye at 2-5 I think Zorn may be fired at that point. Of course, that being said I don't think 9-7 and missing the playoffs will keep him his job either. 9-7 isn't going to be good enough in the NFC this year to make the playoffs. 10-6 or better in the NFC to get the Wildcard.

Even then Zorn is going to need to fight to get to 10-6 and win a playoff game. Then he gets to stay. Right now that is a very daunting task for the HC.
