From 6 win run to 3 straight losses

The amazing thing about the Redskins is that they only upgraded what they had on their team.  So far, they have lost games to both Minnesota and Dallas, both of which also made some good moves.  In this case, do we think Dan Snyder is an idiot who doesn't know what is good for him . . . possibly.

Robert Royal, the past blocking TE in the league, was released and signed with another team.  Even though Mark Brunell is old and Jason Campbell completely unexperienced, there were no moves to strengthen the QB position or the blocking to give them better protection.  The upgrade in WR is great, but if you change the offensive coordinator, have that coordinator take over calling the plays, and change the playbook, you have to expect a lot of confusion on the part of the players.  The defense is okay at the moment, but they keep giving up long pass plays to allow the set up of touchdowns and field goals.

The saddest thing is that they are sitting there with 1 offensive touchdown and it was from Portis, who as you may know is having some injury problems.  Needless to say, there are a number of problems with the team and week 3 may be their only shot in the next 3 games.  I can't wait for them to get their acts together and pull off a run at the end of the season to clinch a playoff spot.  That is something they need to start working for now.
