It's apparent that's what the 90,000 at FedEx thought after they booed the Skins nearly the entire game. They dominated the Rams in nearly every statistical category but a 2-point victory over a team that won just 2 games last year wasn't enough for the Redskin faithful. Going 0-5 in the red zone didn't help either.
Immediately following the game, Campbell and Zorn's ability to lead the team were called into question. But before you blame Washington's inability to finish drives on JC and JZ try to remember all 5 red zone trips: Devin Thomas and Mike Sellers both dropped sure TD passes on consecutive drives and CP overthrew an open Chris Cooley. On a 4th-and-1 toward the end of the game CP neglected to cut upfield and tried bouncing what looked like an off-tackle run outside and was stopped short.
In reality, JZ can only draw up a game plan and call plays that give his offense the best chance they have to score. JC's job is to put the ball where it needs to be. He can't catch it too. The boo birds and finger-pointers need to wake up or shut up.
