Gibbs is the one telling these guys roughly how he wants the game to go. If you want to look back since GIbbs has been back it's been the same thing as last year.

Hhhhmmm. Something doesn't quite mesh. Didn't you say Joe Gibbs' problem was that he was ultra conservative and that being ultra conservative doesn't fly anymore? So, wouldn't that in fact be saying that his offensive philosophy cannot work? After all, Gibbs' philosophy is a ball controlled offense. Looking back on last year, the playcalling was all over the page. The offense didn't have an identity. Saunders couldn't decide if this offense was going to be a pass oriented offense or a run oriented. Gibbs let the reigns go last year. Anything we did wrong or right had to do with Saunders calling the plays, not Gibbs telling him which ones to call.

I'm sorry, but exactly who are you blaming? You just said that running up the middle three times in a row isn't good strategy which I definitely agree, but then isn't that blaming the one calling the plays? So, who called the plays? Saunders.

Yes, we all know what he did in the 80s, that's great, you know my feeling on that. As far as consistently proven himself? I haven't seen anything of that sort in his latest stint. You're still living in the glory days, look at Gibbs 2.0 for face value, he's not in the top half of NFL coaches right now. Are you saying that the offensive injuries were even close to the defensive ones? I can't see that at all! Greg Williams has one bad year in how many years in the league? Gibbs could win in the 80's, it's still yet to be seen in the 2000's.

Did he not in fact get the Redskins into the playoffs and advance into the playoffs in his second year back with the Redskins? How can you say he hasn't proven anything? Neither one of the last two coaches prior to Gibbs' return was able to do such. It has already been seen that Gibbs can win in this decade, because he went 10-6 in his second year. Daseal, there was way more wrong with this team than what appeared to us when we watched this team on Sundays. Even the fact that Gibbs has been able to squeeze one good season out of the three that he has been here so far shows that he still has it. I don't blame you for being critical and wanting to win now. Heck, we all want to win, but don't you want this team winning on a consistent basis? That takes time to develop.
