team hard to take

Let's just chalk this up as a difficult week and move on. The game wasn't even close to being important this week. We lost a young man who was maturing as a player and more importantly as a person, it is very evident that Sean Taylor was held in very high regard by his teammates and coaches, and he will be so dearly missed. I'm willing to give the coaches and players a pass this week, there are just some things much more important than a little old game of football!

I don't know what to make of the whole situation. I was born in 1990, so I totally missed everything great that the Redskins accomplished. But, when you watch classic Redskins (1981-1992) you always see a very involved and enthusiastic Joe Gibbs making phenomenal half time adjustments (offensively) and eventually coming back from a deficit.

Now, it seems that Joe Gibbs is somber and just oversees everything, not really being as involved as he once was. Why do we need someone like Al Saunders to run our offense, when we have Joe Gibbs? He is a product and perfected the "Air Coryell" System, he was the best damn offensive guru in the NFL from 1979 to 1992. I just hope history repeats itself, and this is just the drought before they hire someone like Lombardi, Allen, or Gibbs.

I hate to say it, but Coach Gibbs probably needs to retire for his own sake. He's 66 years old and should be enjoying the golden years of his life. I just truly hate to see things happen like what went down yesterday, it just adds extra sadness to an already extremely sad week. Joe Gibbs is probably the most decent and down to earth sports figure I've ever seen, you just have to feel for the man right now.
