Tom Jackson hates the Redskins

Better to hear him say he was disappointed in us after yesterday than to say "well, it's what I figured would happen"

So after one week of the preseason he should say no team was a disappointment and it was just preseason?

That's exactly what he should've said....for any team. You can't make a proper judgement on a team in preseason...it's irresponsible.

Exactly skinsguy, this is preseason and nobody except the coaches & players knows exactly what is trying to be tested and analyzed in each preseason game. Also who knows how much of the offense is be showcased. Gibbs is well known to show almost nothing offensively in preseason so to say the offense is a disappointment is a stretch.

He was asked to make a judgement based on what he saw from the preseason. It's the start of football and America is fiending for some sort of football to be talked about and highlights shown. I guarantee you if the answer to every question was "It's preseason, why rate/judge/watch" then you and everyone else would turn off that TV quick. Try to take the colored glasses off and look as a football fan.

The point of this thread was to point out the over the top comments of Jackson.

I think we're all well aware that it's his job to provide his opinions, but his comments are a bit harsh considering the circumstances.

Snyder's investments haven't panned out?

Same offense from last year?

Those opinions were made based on 2 series from the starting offense, after the first preseason game. I'm sorry but that's a little ridiculous.

As a football fan I want to hear meaningful and insightful commentary, not irrational judgements.

amd is right on the money. jackson is one bitter brother about the ass whipping from 1988

yeah that SB ring still looks great doesn,t it.
imagine what was going thru his mind being up 10-0 and the all of a sudden whammm.... 42-10 doug and the boyz put the whoopazz on them..so i guess it still stings tom today as bad as it did then.

oh well tom get over it.. joe gibbs and preseason it,s all about evaluation.
