Troy Brown.
That season still doesn't compare to ours.And that Pats team didn't blow 5 second half leads, hence my reasoning that Gibbs should not be considered for coach of the year. With better red zone and clock management, this easily could have been a 10-11 win season with a cake walk to a wild card.
I am proud of the effort in the face of incredible adversity, and I praise Gibbs for holding the team together, but let's not give him a pass for some of the coaching clunkers (NY Giants and Philly) that put the team in a bind before Taylor died.
All that said, I do hope Gibbs returns. He has given us greater stability than any other coach during the Snyder regime. I hope that we continue to add talent through the draft - some of the best players on this team were Gibbs draft picks.

It was mainly WR and CB for them plus they have Tom Brady, for us is everything OL, WR, DB, S, LB, DT, you can't win like that and Joe is making it happen.At one point during that stretch, I recall NE winning with all three starting linebackers out with injuries. While I hate the Pats, let's not minimize the rash of injuries they overcame to win that 2nd Super Bowl.

Nobody is perfect. Name me any other coach including Bellichik who could have done this kind of job? No one!! .
I said this not too long ago and was blasted by several people. One guy kept saying Tony Dungy (don't recall who), but I absolutely agree with you. It's a shame we can't get healthy for the playoffs, I'd like to see what gibbs could do with the full roster.

Totally agree, what could he do with a healthy roster in the playoffs? Hell, if we make the playoffs let's see what he can do with 2nd and 3rd stringers? We beat the Cowboys with a bunch of nobody's during that strike season? Why not now?

I agree. I'm not giving up on this team. The NFC is weak, and we seem to be getting stronger and more cohesive.

im sure if we can go a season with out any injuries like we had this yr.. we would have atleast won 10 if not 11 games maybe more.. but we are always hit with the BIG injuries.

True, and part of that is the fact that we have the oldest team in the NFL. I think some of it should fall on the shoulders of our strength and conditioning coach.
