Why can't the Skins put a TD drive together and where have the playoff bullpens gone?

The Redskins lost to Carolina yesterday 20-17. The defense played well, but the offense could not move the ball once again. The 2 TD drives for the Skins were set up by a Panther fumble on the 13 yard line and an interception that DeAngelo Hall ran back to the 1. The two TD drives totaled 14 yards. The other three points were scored on a 38-yard field goal by Shaun Suisham after a 60 yard drive. The offense gained 198 yards on 52 plays for a grand total of 3.8 yards per play. That will not win you ball games at this level. Jason Campbell was accurate, but not efficient as he was 17 for 23 for 145 yards with a TD. Clinton Portis ran the ball 19 times for 57 yards and a TD. Portis also caught a TD pass. The Skins play Kansas City next week. KC took Dallas to overtime, so they are not a pushover even though they have not won a game this year.

The bullpens of the Red Sox and Twins failed and thus their teams were ushered out of the playoffs yesterday. For the series, the Red Sox bullpen gave up 7 runs in 7-1/3 innings for an ERA of 8.59. The Twins bullpen was just as poor, giving up 6 runs in 9-2/3 innings for a 5.58 ERA. The Angels/Yankees series starts on Friday.
