(Redskins) You know its bad when...

your owner feels that he has to tell the press that his team has been underperforming and is a dissapointment. Being from the land of the Skins, I know how passionate the fans are for that franchise but really folks? This has to be one of the worst teams in the league in almost every aspect. Their 24th ranked offense is atrocious considering some of the readily available weapons Jason Campbell has to work with. Special teams is nothing to look twice at seeing as though their oppenents this year all have a higher punt return average than they. And worse of all their first seven games included all losing teams and they came out 2-5!
If I were head coach of their next opponent the only thing I would gameplan for is playing against their defense who is currently ranked 5th in the league. They are doing a decent job of stoping oppenents from returning kicks up and down the field on them.

But Jason Campbell has been given chance after chance to emerge as a valuable quarterback but it hasn't worked out. If that situation with Campbell were to ever succeed, everyone around him would have to play exceptionally well but that is not the case. There are crucial imperfections in the offensive line, Clinton Portis is not running a step past decent and Santana Moss would have to more like Randy Moss in order to cover up how bad his quarterback is playing.

There needs to be some serious changes very soon (perhaps during the season) to make this team better. Because Jason Campbell is no Doug Williams and Jim Zorn is no Joe Gibbs so the redskins need to stop thinking this offense is going to magically come together somehow. But at this rate there will be no need to take immediate action, the Redskins are going to have a very long off-season to work on their problems because they WON'T be playing in January!
