Even with that streak he's still under .500 for his return, has an older team in worse cap shape than what he took over, other than that stretch has not won more than 2 games in a row, has had at least a 3 game losing streak each year, has not improved sideline/time/game management (see timeout gaffe last week) and has lost 15 games where the team has had a 2nd half lead..
Look, I love Gibbs as much as the next guy, was a huge fan during Gibbs 1.0, was crushed when he retired and elated when he came back but let's be real, he's not getting it done this time around and we're no better than we were when he took over..
I'm not trying to complain in the glow of last nights win (although it may seem as such) but even with that we're a game below .500 this year and out of the playoffs (as it stands now).. That's not progress nor what we should expect from a Hall of Fame coach..

you and I are on the same page. for some reason people here want to say year in and year out we are headed in the right direction. We are stuck in neutral as far as I can see. 2 playoffs in 10 years!! that is joke if you want to be lumped into the elite....wait good teams of the NFL. We are lumped in with the Browns, Texans, group. We are not a good team from top to bottom, including the front office. Joe has not done anything since being here. I am right with you on everything you say, but we will get blasted, be prepared.
