What's wrong With this Team?

oh let me think.....D-FENCE? ole ya and we haven't won a superbowl in 15 years, that's about it

that is pretty good assumption although we are doing those things you said we need to do

Someone said earlier on that Danny Boy would not settle for second place. Good thing because usually under his reign the team has been finishing in fourth place.

Yeah nothing too much can be said about team chemistry Pete. My uncle is Earle Bruce the ex OSU football coach from the 80's. His first team in 1979 was 2 points away from a national title and ended up 9-3 the following year, with virtually all the big names back. He said the 1979 team just gelled well while the 80' squad was just a bit off sync. The difference was that in 1979 he had some "second tier" players that were able to contribute in a big way.
I have to also agree with 724 Skinsfan, in that with Marty we had something good going. Even with Norv we were competitive for the most part. IF I could pick between my monniker(Gus) and JC I would pick Gus in a heartbeat. I pushed a lot for JC to start last year in the Wash Post forums, but I am not sure he will get us to the promised land. Gus made guys like Westbrook and Leslie Shephard look like all pros at times. Still miss those shootouts with Plummer and the Cards!!! Damn those were fun days.

Call me crazy, but i think were going to turn things around this year in a big way. Jason Campbell really looked amazing at times, and he was never rattled, hes a true leader. Our defense was killed by injuries and that lead to the embarrasing stats other teams were running up against us. With everybody back, plus the additions of Smoot, Fletcher and Macklin, we not only added depth but we added leadership as well. Im excited about this season, we stayed away from highly paid free agents, and we didnt give into the bears rediculous demands for Lance Briggs. Hail to the Redskins

Snyder thinks he's doing everything right since tickets are still being bought...

Those are only the most discussed topics on this site, but yeah we don't allow that

:doh:

Is it possible to get it codified so that mentioning any of those topics gets some kind of ban? Maybe something in the area of 3 months? Otherwise it is going to be 2025 and we are still going to be getting manifestos like this.

Too much can not be made of Gibbs' absurd addiction to Brunell. It profoundly hindered the development of the offense. Gibbs' attempted fixes of the offense's lameness, which he refused to attribute to Brunell, led to a neglect of the defense, which now must be attended to. A second element has been Williams' apparent belief that his system, not superior players, was the cause of his success. This, consequently caused a loss of fine players, as well as a failure to pick up good ones.
There's nothing inherently wrong with FA policy, so forget that nonsense. The fault lies in how we implemented that policy, which essentially has consisted of bringing too many bad FA's in and letting too many good FA's go.
It all goes back to Gibbs. Sorry, but it does.

It is the system, not the players. You're very misguided in listening to Adam Archuleta. Gregg Williams defense was always superior, he went to a Super Bowl with the Titans with an amazing defense, turned around, went to Buffalo, and had another amazing defense. Williams landed here in Washington with mostly players that were already here, and had the 3rd ranked defense. So it is the system, the other part is the will of the players to accept that.

All of this talk about what's wrong with our team has got to end. There are at least 20 teams in the NFL that have to ask themselves that same question every year. Its not just us. Competition in the NFL is great. The Saints beat every team in the NFC East excecpt us. But, we were the only NFC East team that didn't make the Playoffs.

Maybe there were some legit reasons why the 80 Buckeyes weren't any better than the 79 team, but perhaps the 80 team just got beat twice by an inferrior team who outplayed them on that day.

Losing happens. Chemistry is the result of losing/winning, not the cause of it.
