What did the media pundits have to say in the aftermath of Sunday, the 23-7 loss of the Redskins to the Giants.
Don Banks, Snap Judgments …
After Washington started the season 6-2 and 3-1 in front of its home crowd, the air has really come out of its balloon. The Redskins (7-5) have dropped three of four games, with the losses all coming at FedEx Field, against Pittsburgh, Dallas and the Giants.
Yes, those are three pretty good teams, so no shame there. But you’ve got to find a way to win at least one of them if you’ve got real playoff dreams, don’t you? By my math, the Redskins get to 9-7 and to the cusp of the playoffs (wins at Cincinnati and San Francisco in December, losses at Baltimore and home against Philly), but if they want to beat Dallas out for an NFC wild-card berth, they’d better find a way to win that Week 16 home game against the Eagles.
Clark Judge, Week 13 Judgments …
It’s time for Washington to find another kicker. Shaun Suisham missed another field goal Sunday, the fifth time in his last six games he botched at least one. Worse, he’s 1-for-4 on kicks of 40 or more yards the past three games.

But Zorn saved his harshest criticism for the Redskins’ receivers:
“Our receivers were not getting separation on their routes and therefore we were getting hammered as soon as the catch was made,” he said. “We had wide receivers running poor routes. Antwaan Randle El is a smart player, therefore he was trying to get the yardage we needed directly off the catch instead of running the given route and maybe running for an extra two or three yards to get the yardage we needed.”
