What's wrong with our Red Zone offense?

My feelings on whats wrong with the red zone offense are summed up nicely here:

For Jim Zorn, there is always an explanation for why a specific play didn't work, and each day that follows a game during the Redskins' season, he spends time investigating the particulars on every snap...

...During his tenure overseeing the Redskins' offense, Zorn has professed confidence in his ability as a play-caller, even though he had never held the job in the NFL before Washington hired him from the Seattle Seahawks, where he had served as quarterbacks coach under offensive whiz Mike Holmgren.

Zorn's dellusional. He thinks he's a good play-caller, when he's not.

You don't have four drives of 13+ plays and one of 9 plays and convert 46% of 3rd downs by being a bad playcaller.

This quote in the article is the most important, "
"We have to pay attention to the detail of the work," Zorn said. "That is what it's going to take for us to continue to improve."

Zorn must look at his calls in the RZ and make the adjustments. Zorn must do his part to put the players in the right position to be successful and not be afraid to let them be successful...or fail.

If Sellers could catch the damn ball, Zorn looks like a much better play caller.

By how much though? If you take away one field goal and replace with a TD and extra point we score 13 points. If I remember correctly we had 5 red zone trips. At the very least we should have had 27 points.

5 was counting the kneel-down possession at the end correct? So it was really 4?

If that's the case then I lower my minimum acceptable score to 24 points.

I wouldn't fully blame sellers on that play, JC continues to rocket the ball in any situation. Wheres the touch on the ball?
