With every expressing their dislike and disappointment for Redskins own Dan Snyder for the past couple of months, you’d think he would’ve gotten the hint by now. But no, of course not. The only changes he’s made recently were to remove head coach Jim Zorn’s play calling responsibility. Which seems pretty silly if you ask me; all Zorn does now is stand on the sideline and call timeouts.
However, now Snyder is making remarks regarding the Redskins, about how disappointed he is, but he has yet to make any changes. And chances are we won’t see any anytime soon. The Redskins will continue to lose, and fans will continue to be disappointed.

Signs Banned at FedEx Field
Unhappy Redskins fans have been voicing their opinions lately, through petitions, boycotts and portraying signs at the games. The signs included attacks on owner Dan Snyder, Vinny Cerrato and Coach Jim Zorn. Any security guard deeming a sign or article of clothing inappropriate are now telling attendants to get rid of it (or turn it inside out) or get out.
Fans who refuse to comply will be escorted out of the stadium, their information was taken, and they could risk losing their season ticket privleges. This makes absolutely no sense. The people that are paying money to support the team and put money in Danny’s pockets should be able to have a say in how their money is spent. There are a lot of problems involving the Redskins, and Dan should focus on more important things than t-shirts and poster board.
The NFL does not have a policy regarding signs brought to games. The only thing they do not allow are inappropriate signs, or signs that obstruct someone’s view. This is the first time that anyone has ever heard of an organization banning signs.
Below are examples of confiscated signs, thanks to DC Sports Bog.

A Tough Week for the Redskins
Oh man. Here we go again. We gave the Lions, the Panthers and now the Chiefs their first win of the season. Teams that haven’t won games in a year or so. Your teams hitting a rough patch? Need an easy win? Play the Redskins!
But seriously…during the Chiefs game, the one that Zorn replaced Jason Campbell with backup quarterback Todd Collins, and the Redskins lost… it seemed to be a turning point for Vinny Cerrato. Instead of firing Zorn, which owner Dan Snyder has made clear he does not want to do, he just got his play calling duties taken away from him. They were given to none other than Sherm Lewis.
I’m not quite sure I understand this. Isn’t the main duty of the head coach to call the plays? If that’s taken away from Zorn, the only thing he has left is call timeouts and throw the challenge flag, and I’m not even sure he knows how to do that correctly.

Jason Campbell Benched
While playing the previously winless Kansas City Chiefs, Jim Zorn decided to bench Jason Campbell and see how backup quarterback Todd Collins would do in his place.
The idea was successful at first; Collins was able to throw for the Skins’ first touchdown of the game. However, the Skins still wound up losing 14-6.
Campbell was pretty off his game, throwing one interception and going 9 of 16 for 89 yards. This was one of the main reasons for Zorn taking him out. Collins completed only six of 14 passes for 75 yards. It is possible he will make more starts in the future unless Campbell can get his act together.

Skins Hand Detroit a Win
I'm not sure why, but us Skins fans tend to think we're invincible sometimes. For the past week or so there have been jokes about the Lions beating us. No one really thought it was going to happen, but we thought it was pretty funny to think about. Until today. When we lost horribly. To the LIONS for crying out loud.
Detroit was ahead 13-0 until the 3rd quarter! With a rookie quarterback fresh out of college (I’m not quite sure he even graduated)! Did this actually happen? Are the Skins really as bad as they played today?
I blame it on Tom Cruise. Who allowed him on the field? He was probably trying to push his scientology beliefs on poor Zorny before the game. Or maybe it’s due to the Remy rap that is played over and over and over and basically fried everyone’s brains.
How else can you explain the 19-14 lost to the worst team in the NFL? I refuse to believe that it’s due to the inadequate coaching skills and a team that can’t seem to get their act together. No… that couldn’t possibly be right could it? Hopefully the Skins will get their coach a going away present. Bye Jim Zorn, it was nice knowing you.
