Well, it’s all getting a bit silly isn’t it?

In all honesty though, I never saw us doing more than propping up the division so I’m not hugely surprised at our results. Just how bad we are though… that is surprising.

Another scoreless first half, more of the same again and again. I just… really, I don’t know what to say. This season is shot to pieces and if anything we’re being flattered with our 2-4 record. We have no easy games coming up any time soon and could easily be looking at 2-8 when we travel to Oakland in week 14.

Jason Campbell has surely played his way out of Washington. He’s not been good, and though he’s been let down across the board the bottom line is that he’s the quarterback, and more responsibility falls onto his shoulders. Even if the offensive line can’t protect him, you just don’t feel like he’s carrying the team or taking any sort of leadership role. That might be wrong, but that’s how it seems.

And let’s not forget that management have not been sure on him for a while now about him. Worse is that we can watch Jay Cutler and Mark “Sanchize” performing well (though not this week, eh Mark?) we can surely see someone new in teh ‘Skins backfield in 2010. In all honesty, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Portis out either.

Jim Zorn has been stripped of play-calling duties. But I’m not sure Sherman Lewis is the answer just a few weeks after joining the organisation. He might though, and we’ll have to see what happens first half next week.

I can’t possibly get three things I liked, but I did get to two and that’ll have to do this week. (I can’t find it in me to give the special teams some credit for not falling over each other during punt returns.)

  • Clinton Portis did break his longest run as a ‘Skin though, and it was good to watch. I can’t decide if he was let down by Mike Sellers at the end of the run, or if it was just great play from Mike Brown to wait and wait and finally make the tackle at the right time. To be fair to Sellers though, he must have been shattered by then.
    It’s a real shame that one couldn’t have been punched in though, as I think it would have bouyed the whole team, but it wasn’t to be. But it was a smart run, and good to see.
  • Todd Collins to Santana Moss for a big gain on the first play of the second half. I thought it would ignite the offense… but no.

    • What wasn’t good to see was a deserted FedEx field by the time Collins ambled into a safety to end the game. I never like to see a stadium that quiet, and certainly not the Field.

    Anyway, the Philadephia Eagles are up in primetime on Monday and then we head into the bye-week. Nobody is going to be surprised if Coach Zorn is clearing his office early next week, regardless of the result.
