The Washington Redskins suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Detroit Lions in week 3. After spending all this money in the off season, nobody would have predicted this outcome.
The Washington Redskins find themselves in arguably the toughest division in football. If they don’t raise their level of play, they’ll find themselves at the bottom of the NFC East.
The Cowboys, Giants, and Eagles play competitive football nearly every year, and attempting to win that division is an extremely tall order for a team like Washington. For this reason, every game and every week matters to the fullest.
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.
If the Redskins can’t beat the Detroit Lions, what chance do they have against the better teams of the league. The Redskins need wins against the Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Bucs and Oakland Raiders if they hope to even taste the top of the NFC East division.
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.
At 34 years old, LM London Fletcher is leading the defense in tackles. From 01′ - 08′, Fletcher started and played in every single game at his position never missing a game do to injury, remarkable really.
Given that head coach Jim Zorn played quarterback in the NFL before — one would assume Campbell would be further along in his development then he currently is. The Redskins are in a very tough division if you are a good team, if the Redskins keep playing like they have, a 6-10 season will be their destiny.
