Generational thing

Gibbs is'nt as conservative as many believe.
He would pull the trigger several times in his first go round...but that was because of field position and confidence in the running game

Yes, playcalling has been tight now, but that is because we are in tight games with a poor line with minimal WR talent and a very young QB.
Where's the confidence to go nuts?

Remember, he's seen what works and what doesn't in the NFL.
I trust his gut decisions most of the time...based on talent and momentum.
I thought it was sweet to go deep in philly to moss to seal the game...he just missed it...
Those are the kind of plays that we dont make now...remember the sacrifice in missing this stuff is the clock stops, you have to punt and play defense again....as you recall, we almost lost that game because of that.

It's really a matter of OLINE domination. If he had that, he'd be much more agressive.
Ironically, it is because the line is SOO bad right now, that he will be forced to pass first because chances of driving the ball on the ground are quite slim.
I think this game is really going to show us what 2 solid offensive minds can do with a run first team with a decimated line against a top defense knowing they need to score at least 3 TD's to survive.

I am going to watch this game with an outsiders view.
The offensive strategy for the skins is going to change for this game.
If it doesn't.....expect me to bail on the Gibbs bandwagon

I was hoping for an age and when became a fan on posts to get a sense of what I perceive to be a generational gap.

Gibbs I offense was run n gun if you will. An emphasis on the running game combined with a nice vertical passing game to complement it. I don't give Gibbs much slack since his offense is nothing like Gibbs I. We have all the tools to make another go with the Gibbs I type offense, but just don't do it. Last couple years the problem was supposedly the noodle arm of MB, now we see it is a bigger more fundamental problem in the play calling area, along with just poor play on the part of the WR Corp. I don't give Gibbs much slack BECAUSE OF WHAT I REMEMBER OF GIBBS I, not because I don't remember it!!! Hard nosed running combined with a potent vertical passing attack gave us the most potent offense of the early to mid 80's. WE only see a hollow shell of it today. Gibbs I spoiled us to be honest, but even so, what is going on recently with the offense is disgusting. No 100 yard game for CP yet( Did he hit 100 against Miami?) and the last game JC didn't even hit 100 yards passing, and against a weaker team. Something is not fundamentally right in Redksins Park.

I don't think it would matter bud(generational gap). The older fans in their mid 30's and up would remember Gibbs I, and the younger fans just want a consistent winner, and have been spoon fed about the glory days of Gibbs I. Either way, the expectations are going to be high regardless of the age of the fans in here. Us older guys want Gibbs I glory returned and the younger guys just want a consistent winner and we all think a HOF HC should be able to deliver. So far Gibbs II has been mediocre.
