The Washington Redskins haven't started out their 09' exactly how they anticipated. In fact, they are probably the most under achieving team in the NFL so far.
This loss might not have been the worst loss in franchise history, but it's definitely right up there. There is no excuse in losing to the Lions really, the Washington Redskins have by far the more talented team -- the most talented teams don't always win -- sometimes the team more prepared wins.
The Redskins offense is one of the worst in the NFC - QB Jason Campbell is completing a high percentage of his passes but the Redskins can't score in the redzone.
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.
The defensive unit for Washington seemed solid on paper, but hasn't been showing up (I don't count the Rams game). The defenses in New York, Philadelphia, and Dallas are all stronger than that in Washington.
The Redskins have to create offense and do it quickly before they fall too far back in the NFC East division race. The Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, and Philadelphia eagles are all better teams at the moment.
Their running game hasn't been looking like it has in the past. Clinton Portis is no doubt one of the best running backs of the decade; he's aging a bit, and seems to have lost a step.
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. .
