Skins Lose to Chiefs, Zorn Relieved of Play Calling Duties
I have to admit, that in some sick pathetic way, losing is getting easier to handle. Earlier this year, and in year's prior, a Skins loss at home to a winless Chiefs team would have ruined my weekend and caused me to avoid listening to sports radio or watching ESPN for days. Now, not so much. The losing, because of its frequency and its magnitude, is apparently becoming easier every week.
The Skins-Chiefs game was one of the worst games I have ever watched. Two pathetic teams playing in front of a half empty stadium. The highlight of the game for Skins fans was watching QB Jason Campbell get benched at the start of the second half. Alas, the Todd Collins era looked a lot like the Jason Campbell era - boring and ineffective.
On the same day that the Patriots put 59 points on the board, the Skins could only manage 7 first downs and 6 points against the 32nd ranked Chiefs defense.
Last night we learned Zorn had been relieved of his play-calling duty. This morning we learn that former Green Bay offensive co-ordinator Sherman Lewis (hired recently as a "fresh set of eyes") will call the plays. I am happy Zorn got stripped of his play calling duty. Then again, I would be happy to see Zorn drawn and quartered at this point. Quite honestly, it probably wont make a difference. This is just a temporary half-step. When we lose to the Eagles next week (and we will lose), Zorn will get relieved of all of his duties.
The season is lost. Time to rebuild.

You might not lose to the iggles, they lost to the Raiders yesterday. If the Raiders can do it...maybe the Skins can too. Although I do have to point out that the "cream puff" Panthers (as you pointed out in your last post) won again yesterday. Not sure what was so cream puffy about them, they were the NFC defending champs from last year. :P
Oh we will lose to the Eagles. The Eagles wont be looking past us and worse, after losing to the Raiders, ther are going to be looking to show the world they are for real.
The Panthers have beaten the Skins (dreadful) and the Bucs (even more dreadful). Cream puffy is totally earned and well deserved.
