Today the Redskins were laid over on their stomach and spanked like a little bitch by a rookie QB and a second-string RB from a team that has only won 1 game out of their last 28, now 2 out of their last 29. Chances are the St. Louis Rams will go 1-15 on the season. Jim Haslett and his defense weren't the only part of the Redskins that were embarrased, Kyle Shanahan's offense was impotent and shameful, especially inside the Red Zone.  |
| Poor McNabb |
It almost seems like we have no plays drawn up for inside the 20 yard line, and Jim Haslett really has no clue how to defend against the pass. We have the Eagle's next week against a super hot Michael Vick then we go up against the Packers the week after. I don't know about you but I've already marked my team schedule with L's all the way through week 8. The W against the Cowboys we got in week 1 was not a result of a heroic performance by the Redskins, it was the outcome of a downright dispicable performance by the Cowboys. The Redskins are not ready to play in the NFL, even under a super star coach like Mike Shanahan and a winning QB like Donovan McNabb. Love him or hate him, McNabb's resume is a strong and accomplished one. I bet he's kicking himself right about now for joining the Redskins and putting all his career stats and achievements at risk. Additionally, there were periods during this game that I really felt the entire Redskin squad had given up figuring out their fight on their own and left the entire responsibility of winning on the shoulders of McNabb. This is not a healthy mix of morale guys and historically speaking, the negative morale always sucks the life out of the positive. I've already burned my Redskins jersey this year. It's a pity because it fit really nicely.

| The rookie |
Here are some questions that stand out to me throughout the game. Why didn't our "seasoned," and "professional NFL caliber," defensive coordinator pressure a rookie NFL QB on his 3rd start? That's like rule number one in football for dummies, "rookie QB's are susceptible to heavy defensive pressure." Our pass defense is something really disgraceful. It's almost like our secondary is only trained to react to one scenario at a time and have no wherewithal or mental capacity to adjust to the game in play and improvise to a flow in the game. Jim, read chapter 2 in football for dummies, it says something about having to train your players mentally as well as physically and since players are a reflection of their coaches I can only wonder what you scored on your SATs? I suggest Jim Haslett go to a couple of Steeler defensive practices and take some serious notes because he is not ready to coach in the NFL.
My second question is to Kyle Shanahan, why have you not developed a running game? In football for dummies under the offensive coordinator section, "establish the running game," is rule number one. Kyle, do all the Redskin fans a favor and read football for dummies after Jim Haslett is finished with it.

| The little fairy |
I will close with my third question to Clinton Portis and a fourth question to Rocky McIntosh. First, Clinton, why have you made it a habit these last 3 seasons to fall down to the ground like a sissy when you have a chance to break through a defensive back and possibly score your team and it's fans a TD? Rocky, dude why do you suck so bad? Rocky McIntosh gave up on chasing a rookie QB after his initial attempt at a sack failed in the 2nd quarter and he really screwed up some coverages on key plays.
