lets forget:

JC's interception.
Landry's failure to be the stop gap.
Moore's failure to sit on the interception.
Sellers failure to secure the ball.
Suisham of course for failing to hit a 23 yrder.

Don't remember if JC's interception turned into a TD. Suish missing the kick only gave up 3 points. Yes it would have won the game. Yes it would have made it two scores to tie the game or win. However ....Landry gave up 7 points by biting on the double move and not being the last man standing. Moore gave up 7 points by not simply falling down and waiting to be tagged. and lastely Seller's failure to secure the ball eventually led to a FG. There are other's who should be more to blame for giving up more points then Suish.

with all that said shushi was the only one who actually had the oportunity to kick a fg score three points and win the game, while it is a team game sometimes it comes down to that one play and within the past three games he has blown that chance twice

People sure love themselves a scapegoat.

Suisham might be burned at the stake this week, but that won't take away from JC taking the ultimate fall for the entire season.

I think that the coaching staff and front office have taken some heat off of Campbell.

I still have issues with JC but I'll agree he played admirably the last few games. Part of this is due to Lewis I think maybe using plays that will work best for JC.

I hate giving props to Cerrato but the last two draft classes have not been to bad. I would challenge that though by saying that he has been with the team for 9 yrs and only gets 2 draft classes right? He needs to go. Bring in a true GM who will tell DS to simply enjoy what he see's and stop meddling, and build this thing up right for years to come.

Scapegoat Suisham is. Supposedly they are bringing in 3 new kickers to try out today and supposedly whoever is the best of the 3 will knock off Suish. Laymens terms Suish is gone. Everyone gets what they want.

I'm not making excuses for Suish though. I agree he missed two important FG's in two important games. but to point the finger at one person is crazy. We might as well cut Landry also for falling for the double move twice and allowing the other team to put up 14 points. No FS should allow that.

There's a chance Suisham wins the kick-off though. He's been in this spot before.

sure has and always seems to come out on top, they always say he kicks perfect in practice. maybe zorn should throw some pads at him while he is kicking

Let Haynesworth, Orakpo and Carter attempt a block with only 3 linemen blocking....since that group requires at least 4 blockers.

^ Maybe wrenches? "If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a FG blocker."

[CRedskinsRule]

yeah I agree with that.

Take your pick, there's a lot to choose from.

Let's try a defense that gave up 500 yds, and on a game tying drive in the 4th qtr. alowed a QB to complete every throw he atempted, mostly sideline passes that stopped the clock for a team working with no timeouts.

A defensive back running with the ball in the wrong hand is stripped for a TD.
A defensive back on PR team alows punted ball to hit him in the back resulting in a turnover at a critical time in the game.
Playcalling prior to the Suisham miss, playing for a FG when you're in position to score a TD is inexcusable, playing a high octane offense like the Saints, you try to score as many points as you can.
A fullback catches a simple pass, the defender makes a routine tackle on last drive of regulation play that could have resulted in the winning points, laid the ball on the ground, another critical turnover.
A QB who played a splendid game but once again in the fourth qtr. threw an INT at a critical time. That's happened three weeks in a row, Dallas, Philly and NO.
I have incooperating the criticism of Landry in the 500 yds. the defense surrendered, more than half of which was amassed in the second half. There's more, but one has to admit when you combine all these mistakes it's very difficult (for me at least) to lay the blame for the loss at the feet of one man.

Man Mike Sellers has had a bad season after coming off a pro bowl year. He has dropped passes and misse blocks near the goal line.

Hadn't seen this quote from Trample(I mean Doughty) till now, but I think it says the exact right sentiment::

Said safety Reed Doughty, "I don't know what to attribute it to, but really good teams find ways to win these games and we're not doing it now."
