ALL OF THOSE TEAMS HAVE DEFENSE THAT HAVE SCORED A TD AND THE REDSKINS HAVE 0. THEN, TRYING TO COMPARE JASON CAMPELL TO Aaron Rogers, Matt Cassel, Jay Cutler IS CRAZY. WHAT DID WE EXPECT FROM A ROOKIE HC WITH NO PLAY CALLING EXPERIENCE? AS FOR JASON CAMPBELL I THINK HE'S HAVING A DECENT YEAR. SOMETIMES HE MAY HOLD ONTO THE BALL TOO LONG, ALSO HIS WR HAS DROPPED SOME BALLS, TOO. ALSO, ONE LAST THING... THEY STATED THAT OUR DEFENSE IS BETTER THAN THE Falcons & Dolphins . THE FALCONS DEFENSIVE STATS ARE: 28 SACKS 10 INT 7 FFUM 2 DEFTD THE DOLPHINS DEFENSIVE STATS ARE: 37 SACKS 12INT 13 FFUM 1 DEFTD THE REDSKINS DEFENSIVE STATS ARE: 21 SACKS 12 INT 6 FFUM 0 DEFTD. WITH THAT SAID, FOOTBALL IS A TEAM SPORT. IT'S JUST NOT ONE PLAYER OR HC. I THINK THEY NEED TO KEEP ZORN AND CAMPBELL. WITH THE RIGHT OFF-SEASON MOVES, WE WILL BE IN THE HUNT NEXT YEAR.

OK, so just because the Falcons have scored 2 TDs on defense and Dolphins have scored 1, are you trying to say that are far better than our D?? We have forced more turnovers than Atlanta and have the same INTs as Miami... and again.. we only allow 19.0 points per game which is the only defensive stat that matters! (ATL - 20.1, MIA - 19.2)... I'll grant you that Baltimore's D is better, but they have scored over 100 points more than us on offense!

As far as 4 Falcons having "breakthrough years" ...
1st - Ryan is a ROOKIE QB, does he qualify for a "breakthrough year"?
... and 2nd -You are kind of making my point... I mean why do you think they are having "breakthrough years"? The offense that was just installed this season and the rookie QB directing it?

Also, people mentioning schedules or who people have played, etc remember that we are 2-2 vs teams which are 5-47-1 vs everyone else...

well, I guess I agree with you about Cerrato, but you could blame him for everyone and erverything...
but again, I am saying that THIS SEASON falls on Zorn mostly and Campbell a little...

I am not saying get rid of them... I was just pointing out that I our pass offense is what has kept us from making a real run this season... and that I am not sold on either of them blowing people away in this department next year... I hope I'm wrong there, but...
