FanHouse JasonCampbell

"I don't know what to do" is a meme put forth by fans, coaches, critics ... anybody with a passing interest in the Washington Redskins.

In the wake of the most recent loss -- a hard-to-watch 14-6 showing against the previously winless Chiefs -- Jim Zorn has been stripped of his play-calling duties (his job title is sure to follow), Jason Campbell was benched (good news: he has his job back!), and the torch-and-pitchfork crowd is mobilizing.

And some of them are doing it while sporting a paper bag. Like this disgruntled fan, for example.

The Washington Redskins went into Carolina Sunday and came home with a 20-17 loss. You know what that means? Another week of people calling for the respective jobs of head coach Jim Zorn and quarterback Jason Campbell. It's certainly justifiable to at least question Zorn and Campbell to be the leaders of a playoff team, but there is no way either one is the biggest problem on the Redskins. That dubious distinction lays collectively with the offensive line.

And, just think, the Redskins decided to upgrade an already solid defensive front by selecting Brian Orakpo in the first round. Michael Oher went 10 picks later, and he's having a very solid rookie campaign for the Ravens as a right tackle.

Cornerback Chris Johnson might be the only Raider capable of getting into the end zone. (Yes, the wrong end zone. And, yes, he was flagged on the play ... semantics.) And to say that fans are disappointed with the current haplessness is an understatement along the lines of suggesting that JaMarcus Russell is sorta chubby.

But I come bearing good news.

Sunday Evening Wrap checks out players who increased or decreased their value during the Sunday afternoon games.

Faller of the Week: Everyone on the Oakland Raiders. The Houston Texans entered the game as one of the league's worst defenses. They were the worst in the NFL against the run. Sunday, the Raiders gained just 165 yards and only a single first down on the ground against those same Texans. I'm done with Darren McFadden. Michael Bush and Justin Fargas shouldn't be considered viable fantasy contributors in any format, and I'd even give up on Zach Miller (which isn't his fault, but he's not going to put up stats for this embarrassingly inept offense). This team is dead to me, and they should be to you, too.

The Washington Redskins won a football game Sunday. Sometimes you hear people say getting a victory is all that matters -- I don't know if Redskins fans share that sentiment. For the second time this season, they won an incredibly ugly game at home against a winless team. The big story here was the play of the increasingly maligned Jason Campbell, the Redskins' fourth-year signal-caller.

Campbell turned the ball over four times. In the first half, he lost a fumble, threw two interceptions and saw three other series end in punts. The Redskins were showered with a cascade of boos from their distraught fans as they headed to halftime trailing the Bucs 10-0 -- the same Bucs who were 0-3 and had been outscored 91-41 on the season heading into the game.

Each Monday of the fantasy football season, we'll cut through the fantasy numbers put up by individuals and tell you what they really mean.

Heading into the season, we liked DeSean Jackson's chances to move into low-end WR2 range. After three weeks -- two of which were with a backup quarterback -- we're ready to say he's easily a WR2, with the chance to move into WR1 range. In the past two games, Jackson has caught 10 passes for 250 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Adding in a punt return touchdown in Week 1, Jackson has scored in all three Eagles games this season.

Before John Riggins became a radio personality he was an NFL running back. He spent most of his career with the Redskins, earning Super Bowl XVII MVP honors. In addition to being a workhorse, he was also something of an eccentric. Which makes his public feud with current Redskins' running back Clinton Portis sort of peculiar.

When the Washington Redskins got the ball back with 1:32 left in the game, they were just three kneel-downs away from their first win of 2009. They were playing at home, yet there was an audible smattering of boos. On a victory? What gives?

Allow me to take a wild guess -- the Redskins ended the game with 362 total yards, gained 21 first downs and failed to score a touchdown against a Rams team that lost 28-0 last week to the Seahawks. Of course, the booing wasn't overwhelming; probably because most fans realized how fortunate their favorite team was to escape with a victory.

If there's one thing I've learned about Redskins fans in writing for FanHouse, it is that they seem pretty evenly divided concerning their opinion about Jason Campbell's ability to become the franchise's quarterback of the future.

Sunday's loss to their division foe, the New York Giants, did little to clear anything up. The Redskins lost and failed to get much offense going until the game was virtually decided. On the other hand, Campbell's final stat-line actually looks pretty good: 19-for-26 (73.1 percent), 211 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 8.1 yards per attempt and a 93.6 quarterback rating. So both sides of the fence have ammunition to continue the argument. For what it's worth, Redskins head coach Jim Zorn was pleased with Campbell's performance, other than the pick.

Sorting the Sunday Pile looks back at the NFL weekend that was. It's also an unofficial Brady Quinn blog.

A year ago, Matt Cassel got his chance to be an NFL starting quarterback when then-Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard blew up Tom Brady's knee. Cassel led the Patriots to 11 wins, and played well enough for the Chiefs to trade for him in the offseason.

Smash cut to Cassel tweaking his knee during Kansas City's third preseason game (God's sense of humor is underrated), which forced him to miss the first Sunday of the 2009 season. Any chances the Chiefs -- an outfit that won six times in their last 32 games -- had against the Ravens were out the window with Cassel on the bench.
