I am not really sure of what to say, 2-4 is 2-4, and definitely the record of a bad team. The Titans loss hurt in many ways, and one would think the team would have been motivated after laying an egg in the Meadowlands. I caught part of the John Riggin's Joe Gibb's Show on the radio and Riggo made a comment about, expectations and reality, and the truth of the matter is that everyone in the DC area who is Redskins fan, bought into the off-season hoopla that this was going to be a good team, now we have the reality of 2-4.

I hope the best for the team and want them to win every single game, realisticly though, that is not a highly probably outcome. The team seems to be out of sorts, and there are major problems on both the offense and the defence, I don't foresee this problems getting 'fixed' anytime soon. I guess in part this is why so many people focus on Brunell for it is easier to change the quarterback than it is to come up with a new defensive line, or secondary. Undoubtedly the big problem in the Tenesse game was the rookie DTs going through a painful learning curve, of learning the game.

The problem with the organization is the lack of a Plan B, in that Griffin has had health issues and likewise with Springs and John Hall, yet no effort was made to ensure that there was quality depth at these positions. In contrast you look at the Eagles, and they always seem to have quality depth on their defensive line, I find it remarkable that the basically just dump Corey Simon, a year ago, and keep getting good results. In contrast the Redskins are too 'star' focused in that in lot of money is vested in 'star' caliber starters but there is in adequate quality depth. Therefore, it should not come as a surprise that the team struggles when it looses starters. Until organization changes mind set, and gets away from 'star' players to Joe Gibb's 'Redskin' players these problems are going to continue. I remember the great teams of the 80s - 90s and those teams were not loaded with star players, after all, the Redskins were one of the first teams to have the fans glamorize the offensive line with the Hogs. The glamor team back then was the 49ers with Montanna, Rice, Craig, etc., not the Skins.
