Is Gibbs Getting His Mojo Back?

That Wilbon column is great.

Joe definitely strives during adversity and with that calm attitude of his, he keeps the players focused.

I've never understood people saying that he's lost his fire for coaching.

He didn't need to come back and put his legacy on the line for the Redskins. He was doing quite well in NASCAR, and he has a bust in Canton. He didn't come back for a paycheck, that's for damn sure.

I believe he will sign a 2 year extension after this season and he will continue working his ass off trying to get this ship back on course.

There are 3 things that should never be questioned with Joe Gibbs. His faith, his work ethic, and his leadership abilities.

Very very true. I would never ever question any of these things w/ Gibbs. However I will question his game management skills the 2nd go around. But FINALLY, as we sit in year 4, it looks like he's gotten it figured out.

Good article.

We really do have a lot of no-names out there right now.

This is a classic Gibbs team.

IMO the defense has been pretty consistent this year, our recent success is largely attributable to the greater consistency on offense. With players recovering from injury and the QB securing the ball and making quicker reads, our offense has flourished. I know some might accuse me of being a Gibbs' apologist, but in my mind Gibbs has been a constant whereas the player execution/availability has not. Nonetheless, it's funny how our perception of Gibbs is so dramatically affected by things outside of his control (e.g., player injuries and turnovers).

That was a great article. Sometimes I still have to pinch myself and remember that we won a SB with Mark Rypien.

I heart Mark Steven (Om). When it comes to writing about this team and bringing things into perspective, he is in a class by himself.

Let us not forget that GIBBS is Mr. December!!

First year starting QB or not, he's responsible for 19 turnovers (11 picks, 8 fumbles lost) in 417 passing attempts. That's about a turnover every 22 passes.

Inexperienced or not, he's turning the ball over too much. And there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that there's no three game winning streak with him at quarterback.
Wow, nice job of validating a point. I thought he was turning the ball over too much also.

Great point about the "fuego" in Gibbs' eyes. He has lacked that during his second stint, but had it (a lot of it) in his first stint. Aging is an insufficient reason for the lack of fire.

Just look at one of the Torresa videos (82 SB run) from the Warpath film room and you can see what I mean about the look in his eye.

Recently, there have been occasions where you can see glimpses of that - Minnesota game, when Landry picked up the dumb 15yarder on the Burress hit, etc.
Yeah buddy, I remember those days when he had that profesional swagger on the sidelines. We all saw it again last Sunday. Let's hope this team can channel that "swagger" on the field for some more games in January.

He's one of the few bright spots over there.
