SAN FRANCISCO -- Unlike his preseason rout in Japan over the 49ers, Steve Spurrier had to bring his humble act to the interview room following the 20-10 defeat Sunday against San Francisco.

"San Francisco beat us today, they were the better team today, they really were," the Washington coach said. "We just got beat. San Francisco played well."

Now, the Redskins enter a bye week of evaluation, and change seems to be coming. Clearly, Spurrier isn't happy with his top two quarterbacks, Shane Matthews and Danny Wuerffel. In practice last week, he gave rookie Patrick Ramsey his most extensive time with the first string. There are rumblings he might consider starting Ramsey against the Saints after the bye week.

	"	It's the whole team. Don't put it all on the quarterbacks. Our offensive line didn't play super. We had a lot of disappointing third-quarter play. "

Spurrier's most telling comment about the quarterbacks came when a reporter asked why the receivers weren't open.

"It's the whole team," Spurrier said. "Don't put it all on the quarterbacks. Our offensive line didn't play super. We had a lot of disappointing third-quarter play."

Since their opening victory over the Cardinals, the Redskins have looked lost on all sides of the football against the Eagles and 49ers. They have been outscored, 57-17. Against the 49ers, the Redskins produced only 217 yards of offense and had only 44 plays.

And if that wasn't bad enough, the defense stunk for the second consecutive week. They allowed a staggering 252 yards on the ground.

"During our last offensive drive (eight minutes to end the game), that took everything out of their defense," said former Redskins and current 49ers defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield. "I could see in Bruce Smith's face after the game that he was disgusted. Big Daddy Wilkinson didn't come over to say anything to me because he was so distraught."

A camera crew stopped Big Daddy and he said the defense needed to look at itself closely during the bye week and correct its mistakes. Guys, he said, were out of position.

"It's absolutely a team problem," linebacker Jessie Armstead said of the Redskins' woes. "You look at the whole situation and you see the whole problem. We're not doing it as a team."

Maybe "the ol' ball coach" has a bad ol' team.

"What it was is we were not very consistent," cornerback Darrell Green said. "We made mistakes in critical situations -- missed tackles, turnovers, all that contributed to our defeat."

Stubblefield is baffled why the Redskins' offense doesn't use more of Stephen Davis. Watching Davis run, it is baffling to see why they don't use him more. He's all they have on offense.

Davis averaged 4.5 yards a carry Sunday but had only 13 carries. In three games, he had only 51 carries.

Of course, the quarterback play doesn't offer much. Matthews was pulled by Spurrier in the fourth quarter after producing only 152 nets yards and one touchdown pass. Wuerffel came in and threw an interception, not exactly the spark Spurrier was seeking.

"I'm just going to go out and play as well as I can," Matthews said. "I tried everything I could to help my team win. Patrick Ramsey is their future. I will be supportive about whatever their decision is."

Said Wuerffel, "You never know what to expect. Certainly, I thought we would be doing better offensively than we are, but we'll just have to get it right."

Spurrier wouldn't discuss the starting quarterback for after the bye. Stay tuned.
