WASHINGTON – Enough is enough. In the wake of a 24-0 home loss to the St. Louis Rams, that phrase applies to the Washington Redskins season and the reaction to it.
It has become too easy to bash the Redskins. I have heard the one about the team having a bad owner. Regardless of who signs the checks, it is clear the Redskins need a total reboot. The Redskins, as head coach Jay Gruden once said, are not a play or two here or there from being a winning football team.
A decision has to be made whether the organization believes quarterback Robert Griffin III still has the talent and work ethic to be successful in the NFL. Something is fundamentally wrong with an offense that exposes its quarterbacks to the number of sacks the Redskins signal callers have endured this season.
On defense, if you ask former Redskins linebacker London Fletcher, the coordinator Jim Haslett has no clue. He said that on CBS. Look, Fletcher is certainly free to express his opinion, but it seems like he is piling on to a situation he once was a part of.
Then there is the St. Louis Rams. For the coin toss on Sunday, the Rams sent the six draft picks acquired in the RGIII trade to center field. What was the point? I know, to make a point, but what is funny and clever to some is unsportsmanlike and in-your-face to others.
The Redskins are a bad football team. But that does not mean the team is made up of bad people. There needs to be criticism with respect, and in that sense, the loss was not the only bad taste left from the defeat to the Rams.
