Now What??

I'd like to see Trevor Matich kick Blache's ass right about now.

Yup! I think Blache talked a lot of shit without backing it up.

JC calling plays= 2 td
Dany smith = 1 td
Jim Zorn = 1 td.

Jason has called the plays on half of the scoring drives this year.

I have a great idea. Let's make JC the coach and bring in a quality QB who knows how to get his team in the end zone when it's not garbage time. Preferably someone who can throw a fade pass and keep the ball in-bounds and someone who can sense a pass rush before it's up his ass. Ideally, someone who can actually take a few steps in the pocket and still throw with at least a little accuracy.

I agree. Look at the Ravens and Steelers. Even they're giving up points, the Ravens especially (maybe not today). The rules overwhelmingly favor the Offense, so it's unreasonable to ask the Defense to pitch shut outs every week. They gave up 13 points today and another 7 on a very questionable pass interference call. At some point, our Offense has to score points and get a lead on someone.

Last year the Ravens and Titans were pretty much winning games for their teams, and they had very little offense (now the Ravens are pretty much a complete team). Last week, the Giants D kept their offense in the game, and their defense has scored points. With as much money as the team has spent on the defense, you expect them to be the stronger unit and winning games.

Our D would play much better if the opposing team was behind for once and had to be one-dimensional in order to pass their way back into the game. It's like when Collins came in a few years ago and started moving the Offense up and down the field. The O line blocked better, the Receivers played better, the RBs ran better and the Defense played better. And yes, I'm advocating a change at the QB position. Campbell's stats are fine, but he is paid to put points on the board and win games. Time for a change.

When your QB throws for over 300 yds and 2 TDs, and loses the game, there's something wrong with the team. You are obviously not a fan of Campbell and just say that. When he throws for 60 yds and two or three picks, then you can call for a QB change.

Someone told me to work on my confidence boosters earlier...Here's an attempt...


The superbowl champs lost to the Bengals today

Bring Marty Back as President

The myth is that Snyder was upset that Marty wouldn't let him get involved in player personnel decisions. The reality is that Snyder thought being coach and general manager was too much for Marty to handle and wanted him to just focus one area. Back then Marty didn't want that, but now he has said he's only interested in a front office position. Plus, the Hall of Famers that had issues with Schott before are gone now. Snyder and Marty get along pretty well now, and I wouldn't be surprised if they reunited. I'd move Cerrato out of football operations immediately and bring in Marty as "consultant" now (thought about Carl Peterson because he's available) and then official name him President (aka "Bill Parcells") as soon as the season is done.

I don't think VC is the satanic buffoon many think he is, or that Snyder is "micro-managing." In fact, things won't be much different in terms of Snyder's involvement whoever is the new person in charge. But perception is reality, and if the fans perceive that Snyder isn't involved because Cerrato isn't there, then they'll believe that's true

Hire Reggie McKenzie or Bill Kuharich as General Manager

Reggie (Raleigh's twin) has done a good job in Green Bay and Bill Kuharich did a nice job with the previous few drafts in KC before he was let go when Pioli came on board. There are other good candidates but I'd look to these two guys first. I'd let Scott Campbell and Mo Brown go as well, again because of the connection to Cerrato and the whole perception is reality thing. I think both are strong talent evaluators but they will have to find their success elsewhere.

Hire Russ Grimm as Head Coach

Zorn is a lame duck, to be sure. But I wouldn't just jump at someone like Shanahan right away. Just finish the season with Zorn, and then do what some team should have done long ago (but has been afraid to for various reasons), name Russ Grimm as head coach. Good public relations move, and he's a strong head coach candidate. When you look around the NFL you see so many players/front office people from the Redskins glory decade of the 80s-Mayhew: GM Lions, Doug Williams: Front Office Exec Tampa, Mark Murphy: President Packers; Billy Devaney: GM Rams and so on-that it's a shame our only connection is Joe Bugel (and I guess Don Warren)



The coaching problem isn't isolated to just Zorn, it's that his support staff (Smith, Stump, Meidt, Watchamacallit) is woefully inexperienced as well. Grimm has experience that even Zorn didn't have but he could benefit from having an experienced play caller to support him. Look at other first time coaches-Harbaugh (has Cam Cameron); Sparano (has Dan Henning); Mike Smith (Mularkey)-all have proven coordinators

[B]Name Kirk Olivadotti Defensive Coordinator

Why not?

That makes way too much sense to ever happen.

... what are the odds they come out next week and Take Tampa bay to the woodshed?

and this is where the blind faith/hope starts all over again....game after game. Good luck with your emotions.

Exactly. We said they would do the same thing to the Rams after the Giants game ... then we said they'd take the Lions to the woodshed ... now we'll take the Bucs to the woodshed ...

It would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic. This team doesn't have the paddles to take any team to the woodshed.

I wish Jason Campbell had JaMarcus Russell's numbers, so people like you had a reason to complain.

Points and wins are the only stats that matter. Ramsey had some nice stats while he was here. Hell, Brunell statted his way to a record against the Texans. But I actually think it's kind of cute that you keep defending JC. Sad and demented, but cute. And you'll have plenty to complain about next year when Campbell is backing up a rookie QB somewhere. Until then, keep taking comfort in those gaudy stats that seem to keep piling up only after the Skins are down by 2 TDs.

Because like you just said....he lacks the necessary experience. Why would we want another guy learning as he goes? F that!

I know, it was time to eat dinner so I had to just finish my post right away :)

I would give him more responsibility though

More truth from you...*bows*

GTripp, I would like to apologize to you. I was trying to be funny when I said you would come on here and everyone would be happy again with hope. I was not trying to poke fun at you although it sounds like I am. You do good work in your reviews of what the team is doing. I just was thinking that with your positive reviews some people get hope that things will change and this week they didn't. I was just trying to make a joke that we might see this again, and yes it was a piss poor joke so I apologize.
