Redskins-Cowboys II Winners & Losers
By Jamie Mottram | December 28, 2009
I didn’t watch much of this game, which the Skins lost 17-0 to finish 0-6 in the division. Let me know what I missed in the comments.

Laron Landry still can’t tackle and still can’t cover. Greg Blache essentially forfeited the game by playing both safeties 25 yards deep – but I guess he can brag about only holding Dallas to 17 points. Will Montgomery made another appearance on the offensive line. Malcolm Kelly still can’t get any separation. Jason Campbell still runs into defensive ends rather than stepping up in the pocket. Alan Greenspan was in Danny’s box – hard to imagine more fail in one place.

Winner: Fletcher who beasted tackles as usual
Reed Doughty: Seriously laid himself on the line and suffered a gruesome injury.
Big Al Haynesworthy: Played his guts out, clogged up the middle as much as he could.
Loser: Landry. Seriously this guy has got to go. He had one accidental tackle that he launched himself in the air and somehow connected with his leg. Painful to watch play.

Winner: Fletcher, just for that (Boderline Illegal) hit in the first quarter
Loser: Blache, who should just let someone else(Fat albert? Fletcher) call the plays.

Landry sure can dance though.

Losers: The Washington Redskins, Dan Snyder, Jim Zorn, Jason Campbell.
Winners: Washington Capitals.
Also a winner? Colt Fuckin Brennan.

Reed Doughty was definitely a winner for going all out on that interception that got him hurt.
Do you think Jim Zorn will have a bonfire to burn all his Redskins garb after he gets fired?

Ok. The Redskins-Haynesworth experience cannot be qualified as even sniffing “winning” or “winner.” Haynesworth is not capable of playing “his guts out.” There are only degrees of slightly better or slightly worse play from a guy who is looking at $40 million garaunteed. Haynesworth=big fat worthless load who will get paid no matter how mediocre his performance is– which means he fits in here at DC. We are surrounded by Haynesworths.
“Do you think Jim Zorn will have a bonfire to burn all his Redskins garb after he gets fired?”
Why? Because the failure of a front office painted itself into a corner two years ago and not only promoted a quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator (or is it assistant head coach; offense?) but to head coach of a real-life NFL team?
Why? Because someone, somewhere finally figured out that there are actual big-boy coaches available?
Why? For giving someone with no credentials the longest cup of coffee he’ll ever have?
Why? Because Zorn’s next stop is in Division IIIA… if he’s lucky… and if the athletic director has never heard of the game of football.
Yes, someone is feeling a little sensitive this morning. Maybe it has something to do with a Zorn quote that goes something like; yes, it’s a dissapointment, our fans weren’t able to enjoy the game as much as theirs, and at our stadium.
Get a clue Zorn. Get the fuck outta dodge. Git.
It just keeps getting worse.

And I’m willing to bet that in some way, every disenfranchised Redskins fan will funnel money Snyder’s way in some format over the next six months.
Seems like the fans are the only ones who have escaped the ‘Fail’ label throughout this entire process.

@ horseydeucey: I believe the phrase we use around here is Pack Shit, Get Out.

17-0? I’m still not sure it was a good idea for Zorn to pull his starters just so the team could be healthy for the playoffs.

Also, the picture is blocking out the post. Not sure if it’s just my computer…

Sounds like you may have some selective memory loss. You’ll be ok in a couple of days. Just try to keep your mind limber.
Winners: No one.
Losers:
The Offense: As a unit didn’t make it to the redzone once all night. I’ve never even heard of this happening before.
The Offensive Line: Horrible pass protection and run blocking. So basically just horrible.
Jason Campbell: Even when he did have time, looked like garbage. His three game audition for Allen is so far not going very well. Like Al Micheals put it, he’s OK. OK when everything is perfect, otherwise he’s just not good enough. On a third down play late in the game, Campbell steps up into the pocket to avoid pressure, sees Rock out by the sideline by himself, and throws the ball 20 yards out of bounds. Rock throws up his hands in disbelief. The refs throw a flag for intentional grounding, but then pick it up realizing Campbell was actually trying to throw it to 31. Somewhere, Chuck Knoblock giggled.
The Offense: I’m putting them here twice because they laid an egg. Some players put in some effort, but as a unit, it was shameful and it was lead by multiple losers.
