Patten is arguably my favorite receiver on the team (yeah I don't know why either) but I sure don't know why we threw to him twice at the end of the game Saturday night.

I thought they said something about Moss not being in at the time? I think what they've talked about all season is that if they see single coverage in any situation, they throw that direction because they're confident in all the receivers.

Okay, so you want to discount what Gibbs has done here on his return and say that the end of last year was a fluke. I guess they were also lucky last year that they were in almost all the games. The only ones they lost by more than 7 points were the blowout in NY and the final loss to Seattle in the playoffs. In addition, the Redskins had one of the two hardest schedules in the NFL last year. (The Chargers were the other team near us in this statistic.)
This year Springs was out a lot and Prioleau was out the whole year. This killed us, since Williams's defense is predicated on being able to pressure the QB, but we couldn't afford to blitz since we didn't have any cornerbacks. If we pick up Clements we may be OK. (I don't know how good he is, I just know he's the best one available.) Rogers seems to play OK when he doesn't play frightened. Let's hope they can get this turned around next year.

What was so impressive about the winning steak? Beating Dallas and NYG was great. But beating Ariz, Philly (w/out Mcnabb) and STL (w/out Bulger) is not very impressive to me. And I'm so tired of this Springs injury talk. EVERY NFL TEAM HAS INJURIES. Springs has a history with injuries so the FO should have known that and anticipated him getting hurt. Philly is missing their franchise QB and best pass rusher but they STILL won the division anyway. And what does a cornerback have to do with Tiki Barber, Steven Jackson,Cadilac Williams and Travis Henry trampling our defense? Gibbs deserves all the blame and if you ask me he gets one more year. Enough is enough.
