Im done....Gibbs must go.

You need balance in this league more than anything.

So I missed yesterday's game. But from what I understand we were running it down their throats and went up 14-0. But then we started passing more and things fell apart. So are you saying? We shouldn't have run to begin with? Really, help me understand your point.

how do you get that? i said that it's about attacking the opponent's weaknesses and pounding the ball when you have a decent lead. in fact, they should've kept pounding the g'dmn ball scattering in a few play-action passes on 1st and 2nd downs.

yesterday was more about not having a killer instinct and thinking that a 1st quarter 14-0 lead is safe!

Too many playactions yesterday, limiting the time for campbell to throw. Once the falcsons picked up on the fact that we playactioned on every pass play, they started to read it, and that led to the campbell interception, another point that leads to the balance issue. Can't be predicable in this league.

If we have to change a coach, I'd get rid of GW and give the D to Blache. He's a proven guy, a vet, liked by the players, and he's already there, so he wouldn't have to start everything from scratch.But it was Gregg Williams who brought in these players because his schemes could maximize their physical tools. So why would a coach who isn't Gregg Williams have anymore success with them?

If Gregg Williams can't get results with these players, then the defense needs to be gutted, meaning the following guys have to go:

Gregg Williams
Philip Daniels
Renaldo Wynn
Cornelius Griffin
Shawn Springs
Warrick Holdman
maybe Marcus Washington

Lemar Marshall would be in the last year of his contract in 2007, which isn't to be extended barring a great 07 campaign.

Your building blocks are these guys:

Sean Taylor
Carlos Rogers
Andre Carter
Rocky McIntosh
Marcus, if he isn't cut

And that's how you have to rebuild the D.

If GW gets it together these last 4 weeks, then its a different story.

You need balance in this league more than anything.Very true, but balance doesn't necessarily have to be run vs pass. You can run in many different ways and throw in many different ways. It's about keeping the D off balance.

i completely agree with you but only on a macro-level... balance means you can pass for 400 yards in one game and run for 300 in another... like yesterday, they didn't need balance. they needed to pound the ball. Betts should've had 280 yards rushing yesterday.

there have been other games when we weren't able to run the ball well. we should be able to throw the ball 45 times for 350/400 yards in order to compete. THAT is what we're missing. and a lot of it is coaching.

contrary to what many people believe, balance is not needed on gameday. balance is needed in terms of the entire season.

this is pretty much what i am trying to say! thanks!

and i am saying gibbs does not understand this!

Polls are all about how they are worded. For example, if you say "Do you think Joe Gibbs should be fired" I would guess the result of that poll would be a majority would say no. But, if you say "Do you believe that Joe Gibbs performance over the past 3 years merits a return for year 4?" I would guess the majority of people would say no as well. If you really want go gauge the currnet attitude of Skins fans regarding the current coaching staff, you have to be careful how the poll/question is phrased.

you sound like a follow sociology major. You working at Burger King too?

so i guess people that want Gibbs gone would like to see a Tug-of-War with the playcalling responsibilities.. when they were doing good in the first quarter i saw people praising Saunders. but when it went down hill its Gibbs' fault..
