TV Announcers: Thom Brennaman & Brian BillickRadio: 980 AM, 730 AM (Spanish), 94.3 FM and 92.7 FMWashington Redskins @ Detroit Lions
Sunday, Sept. 27th, 1:00 PM, Ford Field
Weather: With the air-conditioning, perfect. Not for the fans at home though. The game is blacked out in Detroit and fans will instead have to watch the Vikings game.For national coverage details, click here to view the map.Injury Report: (after the jump...everyone healthy for WAS)It's hard to believe the Redskins have only hosted one playoff game at Fedex, yet it was against the Lions. Redskins have owned Detroit with a 27-10 career record. The Skins have a 0 +/- ratio for turnovers while Detroit has a -2 ratio (thanks to Stafford's five pickles through 2 games). There's no reason the Redskins shouldn't get at least two on Sunday. I really envision one sack fumble and some easy interceptions due to bad decisions from a hurried rush. Orakpo was on the Lavar Arrington show on Friday, and he is ITCHING to get that first sack in the books.
As for all the experts picking the Lions, they're going to get embarrassed on Sunday. There is simply too much talent on the Redskins. Zorn has remained professional through all the media questions about being on the hot seat. The Redskins are CLEARLY not taking this game lightly and that will show. Even though the Redskins squeaked out a win in DET last year, they still put up huge numbers:
JASON CAMPBELL: 2-0 vs. the Lions with 126.3 passer rating. He's posted his 2 highest rated games of his career against the Lions (127.4, 125.3) & aims for 3rd in row vs. Detroit with 125+ rating
SANTANA MOSS: I50-yard rec. TD & 80-yard PR-TD. Finished with 9 catches for 140 yards.
CLINTON PORTIS: Rushed for 345 yards (115 per game) in 3 career meetings.
My Prediction: Redskins 33 - Lions 13
HTTR.

even if they make it, it's a dumb move to go for it
I love our Def at this spot and know they won’t drive it on us, that’s not the point though. If they go for it it shows me that Zorn is feeling the heat from the fans and the press about their red zone struggles, he should do the correct thing and kick the field goal, we will score TD’s later.
it was dumb
you are on the one yard line run between the damn tackles..

by snowburnt on Sep 27, 2009 1:42 PM EDT up reply actions 1 recs
it says on espn play by play that they accepted the offensive pass interfenece...
says they went from the 33 to the 42, from 3rd and 4 to 3rd and 14, then stafford made that 21 yard run.
thats why Im blaming him
yeah, the defense sucked/sucks, but why decline that penalty?
Zorn should be fired after this game
His play-calling is idiotic, the team knows he is shit and doesn’t seem to show up for him against the Motor City Kittens. I would rather take an impetuous decision to fire him early before it gets more poisonous and offensive to fans than keep him on in some ethereal belief in “stick with him”. I am so sick of this guy

A lot of people
Were saying it would be a disaster to change coaches mid-season. Can it really be any worse than losing to the Lions?
I'm more
Surprised by the defense. We’re letting them any and everything they want to. Maybe it’s execution, but I’m really disappointed in Blache as much as Zorn right now.
With a sack that good, why bother getting up?

Our Defense truly isnt that good. Unless someone says otherwise, they are not even in the top 15 best.
Based on today's performance
They aren’t top 20. However, there’s no way you can convince me that we somehow got worse on defense this year when we were 4th last year. Right now, I’m hating Blache as much as I’m hating Zorn. And I never thought I would say that.

Since we are 95% chance we are going to loose, lets says zorn gets fired, we takes over? Who can turn the skins the around? If a new coach comes in, the offense has to learn a new system.
unless its a
West Coast coach. Shanahan, Gruden, Holmgren.
But I don’t think they’ll bring someone in mid season. It’ll be Smith or Blache

i really think the skins are the worst team in the league. about to lose to the lions, almost lost to the rams if it werent for a fumble by avery. skins are the worst
Maybe Snyder realizes that
Cerrato is the main problem? We all know Snyder isn’t going to think he’s the problem.
Dont worry
They will all still collect their paychecks, so everyone just take it easy on here.

An eight yard pass to Moss, who immediately pitched it to Randle-El, who ran two yards sideways and pitched it to Betts who must have though he only needed a first down because he ran it pass the first down marker and got tackled without even an attempt at a pitch.

It's shameful
That this time has this much talent and plays this badly.
I’m sad to say it, but I’m ashamed to be a Redskins fan right now. I’ll always be a fan no matter what, but it’s embarrassing as of right now.
press conference
watch redskins.com or on comcast sports net
ITS NOT ALL ZORNS FAULT
We arguably have as much talent as any team. Blame the players to!
oh come on
the run to the left on the one yard line? accepting the penalty when we had stopped them? then this las play of the game a fucking flea flicker are you kidding me ?
by confederate_gent on Sep 27, 2009 4:34 PM EDT up reply actions
Dude,
you run the play that is called. The only time the Skins have moved the ball is in hurry-up with JC calling the shots.
The fish stinks from the head.
The sad thing is Zorn will get fired but
the players will have to stay. Maybe Snyder can fill their pockets with more cash for some extra incentive.
Well...
Campbell had 339 yards and 2TDs. We accomplished one of our “bold” predictions for the game, even though I’m sure no one cares right now.
you know what would be funny?
if at the press conference dan snyder came and said zorn is no longer the coach. applications???
CSN redskins post game live is DESTROYING the skins
That would be funny
If Snyder interrupted Zorn’s conference and just said “Zorn, you’re fired” and then walked out the door
that's what I'm talking about!
it’s like a featherweight against a Klitschko brother out there between our pathetic excuse for a head coach, and defensive coach, and their counter-parts.
by Grand Tanyon Sturtze on Sep 27, 2009 6:06 PM EDT up reply actions
Don't worry
I’m sure we’ll win just enough games to prevent us from getting a good draft pick. I’m thinking 6-10 or 7-9, and we’ll end up with the 13th pick or something.
Oh, and we’ll draft a WR who will suck.
The replacements
They need heart, miles, and miles of heart
he says
he “didn’t think 3 points would lose the game for us.”
Because of our potent, high scoring offense
Zorn is a terrible coach
but Vince Lombardi would be lucky to win 8 games with this team. All this supposed talent we have, I sure as hell don’t see it.
exactly.
but he knew if he kicked a field goal everyone would have said our offense sucks. well not converting on 4th says out offense sucks more
I might sound a little crazy but...
How would you feel if BMitch were hired as head coach? I think he has a similar mindset as Mike Singletary and would tell the team if they were playing like crap, instead of Zorn saying that we fought hard when we lost to the Lions. I know this won’t happen, but I’m just going over all of the possibilities right now.
wouldn't happen
First – Snyder doesn’t like him.
Second – I think B Mitch would rather throw darts than catch them
Well
What I should have said was that I want a head coach with the personality of BMitch or Singletary- a tell it like it is coach that doesn’t take any crap and is willing to go all out to get the win. That’s what this team needs.
I wouldn't say that about Singletary after today's game
his play-calling at the end was straight from the pansy old man prevent. Never rushed more than 4 and the last few plays only rushed 3. Completely balless playcalling on D.

Blache just said that this is a dangerous football team. And that we shouldn’t be surprised we lost. THEY’RE STILL A BAD TEAM! I can’t describe how facepalm worthy this statement is. We shouldn’t be even considering getting beat by the fucking Lions, we should be getting ready to dominate them. Instead, here we are. Unbelieveable.

We're seriously
Just barely a step ahead of the Lions and Raiders the past few years in terms of wins. And maybe we’re not ahead of the Lions anymore, which is just sad.
Build through the draft, supplement through free agency. I don’t understand how this is so hard for Snyder to understand.

Yeah
I really don’t like Jansen after hearing that interview, even though he was telling the truth on a lot of things.
actually
I think Jon was holding back. You could tell by the grin on his face he had so much more to say
You think he wanted to slam Snyderatto or Zorn? I’m not up on his departure, so I have no knowledge on the subject, but it wouldn’t surprise me if its either/or or both.

definitely
he basically said they make too many rash decisions, they need to “ride out the storm sometimes.” That’s all about him, cuz this goddamm team has been riding a storm for 18 years.
I can’t hate on him for that. Dude, spent 10 years with Skins and was always a team player.
Let him have his day…
Oh, he had it
did you see him talkin trash across the sideline? What really bothers me though, and I was all for letting Jansen go, is that I keep thinking “Is Mike Williams really a better option than Jansen?”
just wow.
How can you do something for a living and be so unable to just own up and do it right? There must be so many guys on this team who are just cashing checks. No one shows any fire, it looks like there is no accountability, no drive to win at all costs.
Jesus.
Campbell’s parroting the same ‘Lions are better than we think’. Why can’t anyone interviewing right now man up and say “We stunk. We should’ve won. There’s no excuses, we’ll be better next week.”
It would be a bit cathartic to hear
It would be, at the very least, a bit cathartic to hear something like this (via Jim Mora).
All this talk
Zorn, but is he REALLY gonna get fired? I’m not sure. There just isn’t anyone to take over. I’ve never heard of a coach joining a team DURING the season
Nah, I don’t think he’ll get canned. But this is just one more nail in his coffin. Not that anything has changed: he needs to go deep in the playoffs or he’s gone. Same with Campbell. Now, if we’re sitting at 1-4, 2-5?…

I agree
It just sucks. I really think this team has the talent to make the playoffs. But Zorn is clueless sometimes. I readily admitted that we were bad under Spurrier. I’m just flabbergasted because I truly did not think we were THIS bad.
I agree
We are awful. There is no question that getting rid of Zorn is the first step, for the first time Snyder moving briskly to make a move will be in the best interest of the organization.

and Blache
I thought that he sounded like an old fool when he insisted that the defense was incredible because of our rankings despite the incredibly conspicuous lack of turnovers OR sacks. We should have been in the Detroit backfield all day, but instead we can’t even stop what was the worst team in the NFL from marching down the field in the air and on the ground.
by Grand Tanyon Sturtze on Sep 27, 2009 5:48 PM EDT up reply actions
he should be gone too
the defense is living in the stone-age if turnovers and a significantly higher sack total are not in the making, we have so much money invested and I don’t think we should reflexively worship old man Blache simply because he picked a fight with a dopey reporter, he needs to be canned too, a new coach hired, with a completely new staff. I know I’ve ranted earlier, and won’t anymore, but this head coach is trash, and his associate coaches are likewise garbage.

Screw the Zorn apologists
who say come on, the Lions are much better this year, and frame the debate as if the intelligent desire to get RID of Zorn is based on an impetuous reaction to just one game. Snide fools. As a Skins fan it incenses me that we’ve let it go this far. This game is a summation of what we have had and what our future will be with Jim Zorn. Do you think, as he learns on the job, that he will be able to both teach himself how to be a head coach AND gain all of the ground Andy Reid, Tom Coughlin, and (even) Wade Phillips have on him in terms of both their inherently superior coaching skills + as their strategies get more honed as the season goes on & they know how to work their personnel to maximize their teams’ abilities? I realize that was a run on sentence, but bear with me. COME ON. We need to wake up and wash our hands of this piece of garbage wearing hte coach’s uniform and disgracing our organization, our fans, and the number of great players we have on our roster this year, whom are too numerous to lose like we have been, leading up to our loss to the Detroit Lions.

a bunch of goddam* apologists, Campbell: “the Lions are better this year,” what kind of statement is that? Absolutely pathetic excuse for a team that has personnel way too talented to lose to that bunch. That’s what they implied when we beat the Rams with a score more deserving of an MLB game. Every team is going to be better this year with Zorn making the game-call.
Please Daniel Snyder, for the first time in Redskins history under your authority, moving briskly will be a great thing. Can this Carlesimo of football Jim Zorn and repair your franchise with a head coach with a legitimate NFL CV.
