Great post Hogskin!
I posted on another thread that if people are frustrated and sudenly worried, their expectations for the early part of this season are a little too high. Gibbs inherited an underachieving, mistake prone, losing team. Did they think Gibbs would just walk in, snap his fingers and we would be a super bowl team? It takes a several games to iron out the kinks.
I expected the Redskins to be under .500 in the first half of the season. As you already stated, Gibbs started 0-5 in his first season with us. His system takes a little while to master.
I know many fans are frustrated, but maybe you just need to reevaluate your early season expectations and be a little more realistic.
It may not show up in the win-loss column, but this team is playing a much more sounder brand of football. The defense is 100% better, the offense is just taking longer. The offense will come around.
