What, specifically, did Jason do so terribly today?

Not trying to defend him - it's an honest question to my fellow Redskins fans.

By my count, he did 3 (maybe 4) things terribly:

- the INT, 2 yards past the lines of scrimmage. This was inexcusable

- missing Moss on the deep route (although that couldve been Moss' fault)

- checking down to a run play on 3rd and 8 w/ Betts in the backfield

- the fumble (also inexcusable)

Otherwise, he threw some sharp, crisp passes to Cooley and Randle-El. Very few dump offs. And keep in mind, he did all of this on the road against one of the NFLs elite defenses.

I think Zorns playcalling, Portis inability to take advantage of the few opportunities he had, and Deangelo Hall's idiocy were all bigger factors in our losing the game today.

That's more than enough. He was terrible imo, looked like he hadn't an idea what was going on.

The interception and audible was just completley dumb. The fumble was a joint effort between Chris Samuels sucking it up and Campbell not stepping up.

Portis did all he could with shots he got. There is only so much you can do when your only running play is a sweep to the left.

zorn's play calls were completely obvious to the defense and we really only tried to run left....

my only real knock on campbell was the garbage INT and that he doesn't step up in the pocket enough...

i think santana played one of the worst games he has ever had as a redskins

You nailed it. What you failed to do is follow up on the two "inexcusable" plays ultimately resulting in 14 Giants points and the check down on third and 8 essentially being as good as a deep INT. Also, our defense struggled but Campbell and the offense could not bail them out by staying on the field longer. I dunno the overall stat but we must've been destroyed in time of posession.

He didn't read the defense. He blew 2 timeouts. His audible to a run on 3rd and 8 was one of the stupidest plays I've seen on a football field. Horribly misleading stats. The play that he threw the pick on was also soooooo stupid. Just played like crap.

Oh and he didn't step up in the pocket when he needed to. And he only threw the ball over the middle.

Well, there are two ways to get negative criticism. Either what happens on the screen is that a lot of plays are ineffective or there were plenty of good plays, but some glaring bad ones(Kyle Orton fell victim to this in preseason); JC's performance could be argued to fall into the latter category.

Frankly, this is another one of those games where almost no one deserves a pass because it was all around bad, although excessive negativity is still something to keep one's head on a swivel for.

Samuels was fine on that play. You can't block forever and there was a HUGE pocket for JC to step up into.

......- checking down to a run play on 3rd and 8 w/ Betts in the backfield.......
explain this one to me

Good players WANT the ball in crunchtime

We are going to run for 8 yards vs the Giants...up the middle?

JC is scarred

And I am in fear of another lost season

Todd would have at least TRIED to get the first....JC gave up before the play started

people who say he didn't step up in the pocket were not watching today. this was the first game where he did step up numerouse times and complete passes. He was constantly put in 3rd down situations and Zorn called nothing to slow down the best pass rush in the league. He was not tom brady out there today but the whole team played bad and never gained momentum. This was a total team loss from the top down Fletcher and Randle El (minus the bonehead loss of yards on the reverse) are the only ones that played well.

Lets look at the difference between Campbell and Eli, under pressure Eli moved in the pocket and made things happen, hitting receivers downfield and MADE plays. All Campbell did all day was throw little 10 yard and under check down passes.

Campbell simply lacks the intelligence to play the position, he can not read defenses and is unable to improvise and make things happen.

The most telling point about Jason Campbell is when the Redskins were trying to acquire Jay Cutler, Denver picked Kyle Orton over Campbell……………………nuff said!!!!!!!
