For Washington Redskins, Only One Word Will Do: Pathetic!

In case you missed the title of this article let me state it again: Pa-Thetic.

The Washington Redskins proved today beyond a shadow of a doubt that they have an offense that can not play on an NFL level by losing to the Kansas City Chiefs 14-6.

That’s the Chiefs that hadn’t won a game in nine previous attempts.

That’s the Chiefs that came into this game with the worst defensive unit in the entire NFL statistically.

That’s the Chiefs that lost AT HOME to JaMarcus Russell and the Oakland Raiders.

That’s the Chiefs that made Kevin Kolb look like Donovan McNabb.

That’s the Chiefs that made Miles Austin look like Jerry Rice.

That’s the Chiefs that were the last team to have the ineptitude to lose to the Detroit Lions (that is, until, you know, the Redskins lost to them this year).

That’s the Chiefs that……………well, you get the picture.

I am going through such pains to remind people who this team that the Redskins lost to actually is because their defense didn’t look like Kansas City today.  They looked like an all star team comprised of players from the ’85 Bears and the 2000 Ravens.

Please don’t be angry, Chiefs fans.  I am just stating facts.  I will not write the pathetic line that I have heard over and over from the Redskins locker room that we lost to a team that we should have beaten.

That is a lie and a cop out.  The truth is that the Chiefs deserved to win that game and at this point are a better team.  The Chiefs dominated the Washington offense and deserved to win the game.

Read what I have written carefully.  It is the truth.  The Redskins’ current offensive lineup is not capable of exposing the worst defense in the league.

The sad thing is that a very good defense is going to waste in Washington.  I truly believe that the Washington defensive unit could take at least ten teams in this league to the Super Bowl. 

Any team that could score 20 points on a regular basis would win 12-14 games with this defense.

Word came down after the game today that Jim Zorn has been relieved of his play-calling duties.  While I am glad that some form of reprimand was carried out somewhere on this team I have little faith that it will make a difference.

At this point there are too many areas to point fingers at.  The Head Coach is probably the right place to start, but anyone who thinks that the problems end there is delusional.

I really considered going down the entire Redskins organization from the owner, personnel, coaching staff, roster to the practice squad and listing who I would get rid of and why.

I still may at some point this year, but for now let me state the obvious.
