A Bad Start

The Redskins were awful last night losing 16-7 to the Giants. It took almost the entire first half before they earned a first down or completed a pass.
And as far as the offense is concerned, the second half wasn't much better. Jason Campbell looked horrible, and they didn't get much of a running game going either.
The defense got run over by Brandon Jacobs and run past by Plaxico Burress (whom they could not cover.
Key offseason addition Jason Taylor got shoved around by the Giants run blockers, and didn't do much of anything as a pass rusher either.
I have some other problems with this game too, including a couple of dropped interceptions and the galling lack of urgency they exhibited on the late 4th quarter drive.
But I'm not ready to give up on Jim Zorn, Jason Campbell or Jason Taylor just yet, because it is only one game.

Jim Zorn's first game as Redskins coach did not go well

the game was no where as close as the score indicated. I don't see him enough, but what has Campbell done in his career to indicate that he has the ability to be a successful NFL QB. That is about the worst game I have seen a QB have, and I've sat trhough some Eli Manning stinkers.
