Redskins' Season Looks Like a Rerun

The NEXT TIME the Redskins are going to put on a performance like that, I should watch a "Seinfeld" rerun instead.

There was nothing new to see Sunday at the Meadowlands — at least if your team was wearing burgundy and gold.

For all this talk that quarterback Jason Campbell throws a great deep ball, he rarely goes down the field. And when he did in the 23-17 loss, all the closest players were Giants.

Wide receiver Malcolm Kelly was still a non-factor, even if it was an accomplishment that he didn't get hurt. Clinton Portis had a couple nice runs, but that was it for him. Antwaan Randle El managed to kill one drive by not throwing away the ball on his fake pass, and then he didn't score a touchdown later because he can't run straight.

In fact, the only sign of life on the Redskins' team came when coach Jim Zorn called for a fake field goal. It's probably been decades since Washington last tried that, and it caught New York totally off guard.

If week 1 is any indication, this year's team is going to struggle just as much as last year's did during the second half of the season.

Who wants to watch that? For competition, ""The Contest" offers a fix and is a lot less painful to sit through.
