Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins vs. Chiefs)

[SmootSmack]

You know, the irony of it all is that I had picked this as a surprise loss for us when the schedule came out. Of course, we were supposed to be riding a four game winning streak going into this game. But still I expected a loss...I take no solace in being right.

It's hard not to just line up everyone from Snyder on down to the waterboy and give them just one huge smack. But I'll try to single out the worst of the worst

Time to lay the smack down

Jason Campbell I really thought he made great strides last year, but he's just not getting it done this year. I don't trust him anymore as our quarterback. Which is a shame, I was really rooting for him. But too many of us are digging into obscure stats just to show his worth (Campbell is 3-4 for 48 yards on day games when Nancy Pelosi is a guest on Meet the Press) and that to me is a sign of really reaching. And look I know Campbell isn't to blame for the Redskins giving up so much for him, but like I said when he was drafted you better damn well be Brett Favre, especially when we could have just kept our 3rd and drafted Kyle Orton. It may not be fair, but that's too bad. And I know we have offensive line issues, but in the first half there will plenty of opportunities given by our offensive line for Campbell to make plays and they simply weren't made. Meanwhile, I look at the Packers and their horrific offensive line, and yet Rodger makes plays. Maybe Campbell will have success elsewhere, I'm sure he can, but let's put an end to this unfortunate experiment right now. Is it fair to put so much blame on Campbell? Maybe not, but that's life as an NFL QB. I'll be curious to see what happens now that Cerrato has "suggested" Zorn spend more time as head coach and helping the QB.

Teammates Complaining that Campbell Got Benched So some of the guys on offense were "not happy" with the decision to bench Campbell. Are these the same guys that say it's not on Zorn and that they want management to commit to him? You know what. No one cares what you think. These rushes to defend teammates and coaches is just idle talk. It's really easy to say you support someone when you have a guaranteed contract that keeps the money coming whether Zorn and Campbell are coaching/starting or not. It's another to say it and then do something about it. As a whole the offense's effort today was worse than pathetic...it was apathetic.

Carlos Rogers I think Bowe is underrated...but most people Rogers is too. He's playing too soft this year in my opinion. He's getting turned around too often and getting out manned by some of the league's bigger receivers. He's playing like a guy just counting the days until he signs with his next team, but he's not playing like a guy looking for a big contract.

Spirit Airlines Just wanted to throw this in here. Awful service, dirty planes, hidden additional costs. You get what you pay for I suppose.

The Balloon Buffoons Idiot parents "We take our kids out of school and take them storm chasing because it's educational" You want to create some elaborate hoax for a reality show and waste government time and resources, and disrupt people's routines...you go right ahead and accept the consequences. But don't drag your kids into this mess. Don't worry a nation with the thought a little boy might be flying off into who knows where, don't make a moderator on a Redskins message board start a thread about your poor kid...just saying

Jerry Gray/Sherman Lewis I'm just practicing for when they are officially named interim head coach and play caller sometime in the next 24 to 240 hours

Dan Snyder I'm not one of those "I hate the man even though I don't know him so I'm going to hurl all sorts of insults and threats at him" kind of guy. But dude's got to make serious, impactful changes in the next few weeks and months. And they need to be well-thought out changes that will have a positive impact come next October. Not front page splashes that will have a positive impact in March.

Devin Thomas/Malcom Kelly You know if neither of you wants that #2 WR position, I'll take it. Seriously. What is this? Pathetic...no sorry, apathetic

On a positive note, I thought Brian Orakpo and Andre Carter had strong games and I was happy to see Chris Wilson getting more minutes at the SAM, freeing up Orakpo to play more on the line

Oh well, tomorrow should be a freakin' blast at work.
