Disapointment?

Certainly Joe Gibbs and the Washington Redskins were a dissapointment in the eyes of the media as well as alot of us (myself included) that bought into the instant success. So, like the second quote basically says, as soon as you count out Joe Gibbs, he will just as quickly prove you wrong...

I'm looking forward to laughing in the face of all the nah-sayers next year!

This season was a disappointment at 6-10, but that does not mean that Joe Gibbs' return to the NFL is one. That still remains to be seen, and I have a ton of confidence that it will not be a disappointment. This season was the beginning of a building process, and because of that, the way they finished the season was not at all. The Brunell thing was a shock....many people agreed that he had declined and wasn't the QB he once was, but no one thought he had completely lost it like he showed. The Skins were 3-7 with him, and 3-4 with Ramsey. As many others do, I believe that had Gibbs made the switch 2-3 games earlier, we would have had at least 1-2 more wins. But that's all in the past now....what's done is done. Next year will be an improvement, especially with the coaching staff staying intact for 2 years in a row for the first time in what seems like forever.

Skinsguy - I've heard you say so many times you're going to laugh at the naysayers. Find one person on this forum, and more than 3 in the national media that says Gibbs doesn't have it anymore. You're just struggling to admit he didn't have it this season, it doesn't mean it's gone.

Matty has it right - as usual. 6-10 is disappointing.

Look back at the postings on The Warpath from Feb/March 2004. Gibbs was hired and the new coaching staff was in place and the free agent signings were done and the old deadwood was cut loose. Things were looking up.

So the team that was 5-11 under a coach who didn't overwhelm anyone with his work ethic got rid of the deadwood and hired a HoF coach who brought in new talent - - and won exactly one more game in 2004 than that sad sack team had won in 2003.

Folks, that's a disappointment no matter what color lipstick you put on it.

It's a disappointment, but this isn't the same feeling as last year.

Last year, the questions (before Spurrier "retired"), were "Who do we fire from this staff to make things better?" Though I'm happy another offensive mind is joining the team, I feel pretty good about this staff, top to bottom.

Exactly. The season itself was a huge dissapointment to me, because I expected to be a playoff team. I was wrong. However, the direction of the team this year, is different than any team we've had in about 5 years. I've actually seen them progressing on the feild, and not just in the headlines. Now there is still alot of work to do, but if you watch the last game of the season last year, and the last game this year, you have reason to belive this team is going to be much better. Not because of the headlines, but because of their play.

BTW, does anyone know when guys should start resigning. I'm getting a little restless waiting...

I think the coaches are on a 2-week vacation right now, things should start picking up soon

A lot of people over at PFW think we were a disappointment this year. Whatever, I think it takes a year...
