Re: What if we lose to Dallas and don't make the playoffs?
I will be excited about next season, either way you cut it. Campbell will only get better. Our offensive line will come back healthy. I'll still have questions, like how will our secondary do without Rogers, who will play LB with Rocky out, what will our cap situation look like for 2009 and beyond after we make our 08 moves, etcetera. But I'll like our chances in 2008.
Caveat though: I'd only be excited if we keep GW and Saunders. Any upheaval in the coaching staff and I'll be sad.
I'm proud of the Redskins this year, no matter what. They've shown a ton of heart, and I don't think we're that far away from being a strong playoff contender. If we miss out, I'll look back at a few games, most specifically Buffalo, and I'll be upset at Gibbs. But I absolutely won't call for his head, because without him, I'm absolutely convinced there's no way we go 3-0 since Taylor's funeral.
If we make the playoffs after this horrible year, I'll give Gibbs an A- (he can earn extra credit and get up to A+ if we go deep). If we miss, I'll give him a B-. Either way, it's a passing grade and we should never get rid of him.
