Bye week, where have you been all season?

2-5, 5th-worst in the NFL. Debatably ranked 25th in ESPN's power rankings.
0-3 on the road, 0-2 in the division.
28th in points/game (13.7), 24th in total yards/game (296).
25th in rush yards/game (93.4). 27th in rushing TDs (2).
3rd-most sacks allowed (23).
10th-most penalty yards (347).
28th on 3rd down (29%).
30th in time of possession/game (27:44).
29th in turnover margin (-8)...

That's out of all 32 teams that make up the NFL.

It goes without saying that the Washington Redskins have nosedived to the bottom of the league. Over the course of the easiest 7 weeks in NFL history, they've proved themselves incapable of executing standard tasks such as snapping the football, tackling an immobile QB in the open field, or defending against 3rd and 22.

The QB has been benched (then brought back), the play-caller has been replaced, the star RB and DT are calling out their teammates, the GM is sidestepping questions concerning his defective roster, the owner is attempting to muzzle the disgruntled fans, allegiance is turning into apathy, and no one has any clue on where to begin to fix it all.

You couldn't ask for a better time for a bye week.

What needs to change? What can be changed midway though the season without furthering this franchise's descent to despondency? Only one man can realistically right the ship and that's the head coach. Regardless of recently being stripped of his play-calling duties, JZ is still the head coach of this football team and, therefore, is still responsible for leading this team.

As Julius Campbell asserted in Remember the Titans, "Attitude reflect leadership, captain."

It's no secret. The dispirited attitudes of these players stick out like a sore thumb on game day. Watch Campbell walk with his head down after another sack. Watch Portis throw his helmet in frustration. Watch Chris Horton drag his feet back to the huddle after giving up a 57 yard TD.

The Redskins are hemorrhaging and to make matters worse, their upcoming schedule is hardest in the league- only the Raiders have a losing record.

Likely 2010 first round pick Sam Bradford can't help them now. Neither can a new play-caller or another $100 million acquisition. Zorn must confront his players and explain to them that the only way out of this hole is the same way they got here. The only reason Snyder and Cerrato are being held accountable for the Redskins' fiasco is because the franchise now relies on them to fix all their problems with big names and new faces in the offseason.

The season is far from over but the end is looming near for the seemingly anemic Washington Redskins. It's time the players and coaches put an end to the "offseason champs" reputation during the season.
