Smoot, I was just about to post the same thing. Great article.

In all of this I haven't screamed at Gibbs once. It's been execution on the field that's killed us, not Gibbs calls. We shouldn't be relying on a last minute field goal to draw a game.

Ummm, time management...Bad challenges....I have to admit that did it....and probably will again.
That said, we all need to remember that Gibbs has been out of football for 12 years....not commentating, not sitting at home watching, but in an entirely different sport that happens to "play" on Sundays as well. It is perfectly understandable that it will take some time for him to get used to game management again. As much as they practice, and even with pre-season games, it's not the same as a real game situation. It is taking time, but we all know that it WILL be resolved.
But really It agree. As a fan, there is nothing wrong with yelling at Gibbs during a game. He is human. I love Coles and Portis too, but that doesn't mean I wasn't screaming at them when they put the ball on the ground. It is the right of a fan to express his emotion towards his team (or the TV), good and bad.

I don't think I can yell at Gibbs ever and certainly not after 4 games. I yell a lot during a game but I just can't bring myself to yell at Joe Gibbs. But if yelling at Gibbs is making anyone else feel better then by all means...

However, my new name for Clinton Portis during games is "Oh what the fu*k!"

Portis is the best back the Skins have had in a looooooooong time. he's trying to do more than his job and its apparent.

celts32 10-05-2004 05:04 PM

He may have the most talent, but a RB that can't hold onto the ball is about as usefull as a second ass. I still think he will rebound and become a great Redskin, but as long as he is averaging a fumble a game he is simply useless...

illdefined 10-05-2004 05:11 PM

we're not used to seeing Coles drop/fumble balls either. whats going on? i dont get it, Gibbs is BACK!

guys, its the curse of FEDEX. should have never moved, or at least never changed the name.

It's the whole city:

We get a baseball team-but it's the last place Expos, still owned by MLB.

Capitals-gets the first pick in the draft, and then the league shuts down.

Washington Freedom-win the championship, and then the league folds.

NBA-bring in Michael Jordan, might as well have been Vernon Jordan

Mystics-Best player gone for the year with "mysterious injury"

DC United-The most stable team-and they're led by a 14 year old?

I'll continue to root, root, root for my home teams, especially the Redskins and Joe Gibbs. But it's tough being a sports fan here in DC

Ummmmm..... Don't yell at Gibbs. He's nice. It's not ok.

I know. Truthfully, I couldn't think of anything bad to say about getting the Expos but I had an overall theme to maintain in my post.

I don't care how old when he first coached, but he's not getting done yet. YET being the operative word, I think he will, but he doesn't have it yet. So, step down off your soap box.
