Disapointment?

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

i would have to say they are right

“The Redskins — again. Every year you hear about them making all these offseason moves, with hiring Joe Gibbs being the latest example. And every year they don't make the playoffs.”

Just wait until next year!

“Joe Gibbs. We're talking about a Hall of Fame coach, and his introduction to a new generation of football fans went over about as well as a string bikini at a baptism. Were the Redskins a serious Super Bowl contender? Probably not. But the idea that the game has passed Gibbs by is ludicrous, though he does have some catching up to do. On his side are many factors, with the exception of age, and that Dan "Billions" Snyder will make the salary-cap era more manageable for the Skins. As quickly as Gibbs was cast as a disappointment, he'll be back in the surprise category next season.”

I think the last line sums it up best

“Two things come to mind: the Redskins' signing of Mark Brunell and the Raiders' signing of Warren Sapp. Both units — Washington's offense and Oakland's defense — were ranked near the bottom of the NFL, and both players did little for the money they made. Brunell fit, in theory, everything Joe Gibbs wanted in a quarterback, but the problem was that he simply has lost it. He's no more than a high-priced backup at this point, and some have argued that Gibbs was too slow to pull the trigger and go with Patrick Ramsey.

Really can't argue with that

This time next year though, we'll be making our Redskins Divisional Playoffs predictions!

We're defintley a dissapointment this year. At least I was very dissapointed with how we turned out. Now the critics who are saying Gibbs is a failure, and shouldnt have come back, I disagree completley. The expectations were way too high at the begining of the year, but I had the expectations too, so I'll label the season as a dissapointment, however this is a team defintley headed down the right path.

What would have been a disappointment if right now we were going though the same old same old January exceitment of getting new coaches and figuring which big ticket players we are getting rid of/getting in.

To me there were far more dissappointing teamswho were even in the NFCE who seem to have slipped under the radar how about them Giants who slipped from 5-4 to 6-10 or the cowboys who were 10-6 and now 6-10...

I agree. For once in I don't know how many years it appears that we'll have all of our coaches back next season. It also looks like most of our key players will be back with the possible exception of Smoot. The office has said resigning Pierce is a priority so they are definitely headed in the right direction.
I was very disappointed this season because my expectations were way too high with Coach Gibbs back again. My expectations will be high again this coming season but I expect them to be met this time.
Go Skins!!!!
:httr:

The Redskins were a dissapointment this year. Doesn't mean that Gibbs wont eventually fix things but 6-10 with the Redskins coaching staff and talent is terrible. The Redskins needed at least 9 wins this year not to be labled a dissapointment.

That being said I still think we are pointed in the right direction...

Just remember fellas, the Jets were 6-10 last year and this year they were 10-6 this year and a field goal away from the AFC championship which is "so much stronger than the NFC". All they really did was stay healthy and have a good draft no huge free agent pick ups. Next year we will not disappoint!

I am not dissappointed in the least. I said from day one after Gibbs was hired that they would be lucky to be over .500. He inherited a seroiusly underacheiving team. All this talk of playoffs and superbowl came from the media and some other folks on this site. I did not expect us to be dramticly better record wise. I did expect better play and we did get that. The team is going in the right direction, that is all that matters. I don't care how long it takes, just as long as we go in the right direction.

You can not polish a turd. It takes time to rebuild a team and it's attitude.

6-10 is a disappointment any way you look at it
