PATIENCE!!!! Try to be a FAN!! History Lesson

We need a proven offensive coordinator.

How about Jow Gibbs?

We need a proven offensive coordinator.

So, you're saying that Joe Bugel, Don Breaux, and Rennie Simmons aren't proven? How many more SB rings do they need in order for you to call them "proven"?

Boss Hog probably wants some on proven like Steve Spurrier. :)
Just kidding man.
Gibbs is the OC. period

I totally disagree with this thread. We have high expecatations because of the so called hype about the players and coaches. They get paid very well last time I checked. Therefore losing is unacceptable.

I agree losing is unacceptable but if you cant be a Redskin fan after a loss then you sure as heck dont deserve to be one when they win.

I'm not losing faith in Gibbs. But it would be a whole lot easier to be patient if we hadn't already lived through 10 bad years with this team. I know, I know, Gibbs is not to blame for our past 10 years, but you have to understand that we are just sick and tired of mediocrity and that's what I see on the offensive side of the ball and with the special teams too. The "D" is doing just fine, but they can't win it on their own.

Also, there's nothing wrong with criticism, when it's deserved. Doesn't mean we're bailing on the Skins. I, for one, would never do that. But when you see poor offensive play week after week, I think some healthy anger is called for. Particularly with some of the high-priced talent that we supposedly have.

Simple - judge this team on the 16 game record. You can't blame Joe for the last 12 years, likewise you can't base his performance on those years. The press hyped JG up, not JG. He remained cool calm and measured. He said before the season it will take time to turnaround and it will.

Once the O gets in gear and the ST's iron out the kinks, then see what happeens.

Sounds like Chris Berman has been wrong all this time. They DON'T need to play the games. Just add up the payroles and dole out the prizes. Richest owner wins.

Thanks to many of you that made complimentary posts. It is much appreciated.

Wait a second, is my patriotism being questioned for questioning certain moves (i.e. Brunell starting)?

I have been a Redskins fan for as long as I can remember. I have been there for them for the past 12 years while we have been in the dumps. I wear my 'Skins jersey in Packer country each weekend at a bar even though I get crap. I have gotten into a fist fight over the 'Skins and Eagles rivalry.

So I hope that no one is questioning my 'Skins fan credentials. Thems fightin' words.

If I'm not a Skins fan because I don't like Brunell, then no one on this board is a Skins fan. I have heard each and every single one of the "regulars" on this site attack someone on the 'Skins squad....from guys riding the bench all the way up to the Head Coach.

I have consistently said that the 'Skins will fare very well under Gibbs. I have consistently said that Gibbs will take us to the playoffs. I have also said that we're an .500 or .560 team. I have also said that I don't like Brunell. Am I not a 'Skins fan because of that?
