Redskins doomsday clock at 11:59

Jake Delhomme sealed Sunday's Panthers win - Carolina's first of the year - and may have sealed Jim Zorn's fate at the same time.

There aren't a lot of words for the Redskins loss. Team Zorn was up 17-2 at one point, but Carolina came back to win. It's hard to put into words just how bad this loss was. 17-2 was the largest lead Zorn has ever had. Now it's the biggest lead he's ever lost.

It would be very easy to say that Zorn needs to be fired. It's becoming more and more clear that Zorn isn't cutting it on offense.

But it's not just Zorn.

Greg Blache's defense leaves a lot to be desired. They're pretty good once the opposing team drives the length of the field to get into the red zone over and over again, but all the time on the field leaves the team tired at the ends of games.

Special teams were a big factor in Sunday's loss to Carolina. They gave up a huge kick return and also gave the ball away on a punt return after a Redskins player touched the ball.

And it's not just the coaches.

Is there one player on the offensive line worth his weight? Maybe Dockery. Maybe Rabach. Samuels was injured early in Sunday's game (he never returned) and the Redskins couldn't pass block from there on in. Heyer got blown up multiple times by Panthers end Julius Peppers. Samuels' replacement, Batiste, also got blown up multiple times.

QB Jason Campbell was sacked five times and never looked comfortable. He completed most of his passes, but the plays that he missed were more memorable that any passes that he completed.

The Redskins receivers fail over and over again to establish themselves, fail over and over again to separate from defensive backs. None of the young guys - Thomas, Kelly or Davis - appear ready to be standouts any time soon. Moss isn't getting any younger, and opposing teams can shut him down if they concentrate on him. Cooley, who has be dependable all season, caught zero passes against the Panthers.

And it's not just the players.

I could go through this with almost every single aging starter for the Redskins (and there are many aging starters). It's an organizational problem, and it goes straight to GM Vinny Cerrato and Dan Snyder. The entire organization needs to be cleansed.

The Redskins haven't been in rebuilding mode in more than a decade - it's time.

The Skins are now 2-3, losing two out of their last three games. That's two losses to previous winless teams. That's two losses to two of the worst teams in football.

I don't see Zorn surviving long. But I hope Snyder has the courage to tear the organization apart. It's in serious need of an overhaul.

The doomsday clock is now at 11:59.
