Gibbs, Redskins figure to struggle again

Here's an article we should tuck away and read at the end of the 2005 season, hopefully it will provide a good laugh.

...yeah, definitely not very objective...

sometimes i feel like reading those articles are a waste of time. sometimes i wonder if i should be a redskins fan for all the shit i have to put up with from fans of other teams. but articles like those boil my blood. they only make me more determined to prove them wrong. unfortunately for me, there's nothing i can do. all i can do is wait and hope, and wait and hope some more. i wish that guy's car broke down next to my house, just so i could release some of my anger. but im going to let the redskins play this season speak for me.

i'd like to see what he and the "odds makers" said about the chargers last year.

you have to play the games to determine the winners and losers.

Wow. That's such a load of horse shit. Arrington injury-prone? ONE FREAKIN' SEASON. We lose two players on the defense and suddenly we aren't even a top ten D? Also, he says Gibbs is in panic mode? How so?

Oh wait, I guess he forgot to mention how low-key our offseason was. I guess he also forgot to mention that we already RAN a west-coast offense. It's a running game with short, accurate passes. What a douche.

It's funny how the dude was so negative about our D. We did just fine without Arrington last season, played well when Smoot was out with injury, and we now have a number of candidates who can adequately replace Pierce at MLB (let's not forget he was a backup at the beginning of the season). That reporter must be a Cowboys fan, considering how badly he disrespected us. We'll see how much laughing he's doing in December. :smashfrea

That guy was contradicting himself. He said Gibbs wasn't adjusting to the newly evolved NFL, and was using system that wasn't working, yet further down in the article, he's criticizing Gibbs for installing the shotty.
Sounds to me like he just writing for writing's sake

I agree. It just goes to show how you can't trust anything said on the internet.

Look guys, I'm "senior writer" of malcolmsportsdaily.com

Anybody can make their bullshit sound legit by adding senior in front of it. ESPECIALLY if it was "Senior Writing Specialist". That's like Jesus of writing.

I was going to say the exact same thing. "Injury prone" is something you say to try and sound like you know what the hell you're talking about. He might as well have written: "On top of that, the Redkins return in 2005 with a seriously injury prone lineup. Patrick Ramsey, LaVar Arrington, Jon Jansen, Matt Bowen, Michael Barrow, Andre Lott, and Phillip Daniels all missed significant playing time over the last several years due to injuries." Make sure it's implied that if the guy missed more than 8 games in the last three years that he's likely to have his knees spontaneously combust at any given moment. It's pretty ridiculous. If you're going to argue that we won't have a good year, you can make a decent case especially since I think it's true you could say we have "unproven wide recievers" and an "unproven QB". However, It's a stretch to say our secondary will be worse (unless ST doesn't play) and our LB core and Dline look to be better simply due to people returning from injuries.

I still believe that we will begin to win at some point simply due to a change of culture and a change of attitude. Someone else pointed out how remarkable the change was last year when we played hard the to the end. We thrashed the Vikings worse than the score indicated and they won a playoff game. If we score 7 more points a game, we go 11-5 at worst not counting the screw-job against green bay. 5 points more a game puts us barely in the top 20 in offense (points-wise) and makes us 10-6. Remember that most people who comment on this don't watch our games. They see the the losses and see the stats for how poor our offense was and draw their conclusions. Those people are best ignored. These are the same people that would say Portis was a "system back". I has the fortune of being in Albuquerque and seeing all the broncos games during Portis's last season in Denver. You would have to be the world's biggest retard to say that after actually watching those games. The man has moves on moves.

addendum to my last post:
