Coaching Issue (I Hate to say it)

My whole thing is, did we really need to bring him in?

Not sure if everyone remembers, but our offense truly sputterred at the end of the season... at the end of that winning streak (the philly game I believe), our offense wasn't scoring much. Our defense carried us again- taylor had a few key touchdown runbacks in a few games. Shoot, we would have lost to arizona if it weren't for antonio brown's kickoff return.

When Saunders was hired, everyone was excited- remember, this is a pretty complex offensive system... don't expect KC numbers instantly.

Is it possible that Brunell misses Bill Musgrave?

Just about every great NFL coach takes the blame when a team fails to execute, which is exactly how it should be. If a player isn't performing to a respectable level, it's ultimately the coaches fault for putting the player in that position. Gibbs takes the fall for Washington's failings all the time. When a coach blames everyone but himself, for something that he is in direct control of, I lose respect for him.



Did you have the ocasion to witness the performance Gruden put on with his young QB Simms in TB's Sunday debacle? You think young Simms"s father may have some choice words for Gruden at another time?

This team starts fresh every year and thats the problem. Nothing is ever built upon. They have a nice D last year so do they resign some of the D backs and keep building? Nope they give a huge contract to Archeletta so now its more learning, rebuilding, and chemistry.

The offense finally gets going, does the team keep building on that? Nope they bring a new coach with a huge playbook and it back to the drawingboard for another offseason.

Until this organization figures out you have to build upon the past and not rebuild every year they are going nowhere.



I agree in part because it is difficult to continue adjusting year after year, new players, new coaches and schemes. However, what I find ironic is none of us were saying these type things until we saw the team play. That old addage hindsight is 20/20 is sure applicable here. We weren't saying these things because none of us thought they would look this bad to start the season. We all had visions of a high scoring offense with points coming out of the woodwork, so far it hasn't happened, that dosen't mean however that it won't.

I was thinking them...just wasn't around to say them. The third year in a system is a critical year. We had finally established the power running game, and now had 3 speedy receivers to get downfield. We didn't need Saunders, yes I was excited, but I also believed our team was better suited for Gibbs offense.

So you have our beloved coach JG to thank. He made that call obviously because he thought it was for the betterment of the team. Had he not felt that way I doubt he would have made the move.

hey...nobody's perfect

hey...nobody's perfect



That's the very point I'm trying to make dude, "NOBODY's PERFECT"

Gibbs offense, Saunders offense, whatever! If the QB can't get the ball to the receivers then what difference does it make? It's the same ole shenanigans when it comes to the offense, we barely get by!! The only reason we're not winning this time around is because our defense stinks! We won quite a few games last year because our defense kept our opponents within striking range. Hell, we've already given up more points to the Cowboys in one game this season than in both games combined last season. Oh, and how many third down conversions did the Vikings get? The offense is the same fella's, it stunk last season and so far it stinks this season; adding Al Saunders is only going to help things in the long run, assuming the players we have can execute his proven strategy.

I think we should be discussing Gregg Williams not Al Saunders or Joe Gibbs!
