To beat the Rams at home by a score of 9-7 isn’t exactly impressive, but they’ll take it however they can get it. At least the defense seemed to be effective. Then again, it all happened against the Rams, a team that struggled to score throughout 2008 and seems to have the same problem in 2009.

They lost to the Detroit Lions in week 3. Either the Detroit Lions were finally do for a win and it just happened to be against the Redskins - or the loss against the Lions showed the lack of focus and determination the Redskins have.

The Cowboys, Giants, and Eagles play competitive football nearly every year, and attempting to win that division is an extremely tall order for a team like Washington. For this reason, every game and every week matters to the fullest.

RB Clinton Portis is having a pedestrian like year and only averaging 3 yards per carry. The Redskins wide receiver core are talented, but haven’t played like it. WR Santa Moss ,WR Antwaan Randle El, and WR Cris Cooley have the explosive, play making abilities, Campbell can’t seem to find them often enough.

If the Redskins can’t beat the Detroit Lions, what chance do they have against the better teams of the league. The Redskins need wins against the Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Bucs and Oakland Raiders if they hope to even taste the top of the NFC East division.

The Redskins have QB Jason Campbell — who hasn’t developed as the franchise QB the Redskins were hoping for, yet. Campbell is already 27 years old and the most touchdown passes he threw for in a season was only- in 08′. Redskins fans hope he is a late bloomer or otherwise the Redskins have no future with his as QB.

At 34 years old, LM London Fletcher is leading the defense in tackles. From 01′ - 08′, Fletcher started and played in every single game at his position never missing a game do to injury, remarkable really.

Head Coach Jim Zorn is on the hot seat if he can’t create some spark with his offense. The Redskins are a proud franchise with a rich history, if Zorn can’t produce for the Redskins fans and ownership by motivating his players he won’t last the season. The players must come ready to play and not play the blame game either as well. .
