Wilbon and Kornheiser both said that Gibbs gets a free pass in DC for quite some time and that there are places that Gibbs should be criticized. I don't think he'll do bad as a coach, but let's turn this situation again. Imagine Gibbs never came out of retirement and Spurrier was here. What exactly would be your comments today?
I don't think anyone has held back criticizing Gibbs today, daseal.
Clock management was poor and the goal line calls could have been better. What more can we say?
If Spurrier was still here the criticism would be much worse today because he would be in year 3 and he would be out of excuses.
Gibbs has 3 games under his belt after 12 years away from the game. And yes those 3 Super Bowl trophies are going to buy him time to get things going again.
As big as our expectations are as Skins fans, I think we're equally as patient when it comes to giving Gibbs time to make this work. Why should we doubt the guy??

Gibbs has proven he can win in this league because he has, Spurrier has yet to prove anything in the NFL. That's why he gets a bit more of a longer leash.
But this isn't about Spurrier, Marty, Norv, etc. it's about Gibbs. And I think we all pretty much agree that Gibbs made some very poor decisions yesterday.

If we keep believing in ourselves and keep improving, we won't be denied. Four games remaining in the division...

If we can come back and Beat NYG and Dallas next time around and can beat Philly once, I'll be very happy.

Yes Gibbs deserves as much time as he needs to get this done. And he'll get it.
Snyder won't fire Gibbs, and Gibbs won't quit like Spurrier did. They're both better than that.

Our next division game is 7 weeks from now. The team can meet philly with a 7-2 record. Now I think we can win the next six games. The defense is going to continue to get better and the hopefully Brunell will stay healthy enough to play against philly.

the crowd was still cheering loudly with 7 minutes left and 11 points down... NY would have been booing loudly by then.

on espn news yesterday,john clayton of all people defended gibbs and said that the difference between gibbs and past redskins coaches was that gibbs has a system in place to fix these type of problems,where coaches of the past would not.why do'nt some of these genisues ask other coaches like,jon gruden,or bill parcels if they think the game has passed gibbs and the skins coaching staff by?the media needs to smell what they are shoveling.

If we win on Sunday... this all goes away. If we win big, all everyone will talk about is how great Gibbs is, just like after Tampa. The media sucks ( of course I wanna get into that area, haha).
