The Twilight Zone

[Twilbert07]

Watching the Falcons beat the Eagles last night brought to mind comparisons between the coaches of the Skins and Falcons.

The Falcons have a young coach who commands loyality from his players and fires up the fans. He obviously is having fun and likely will be wearing a Supoer Bowl ring this season or next. The Redskins have a coach who says he's loyal to his players (then sacks them) and pisses off the fans. Gibbs, who has his rings, won't be getting another. Clearly, he wishes he hadn't come back.

The Falcons have a coach who will be at the helm for years, if not decades. The Redskins have a coach who will be gone after two more seasons, or after this season of Brunell sinks him (as I think will happen).

Remember, last year, fans, analysts and columnists said Gibbs' biggest mistakes were paying too much for Brunell and sticking with him for too long. Looks like Gibbs is repeating the same damned mistakes this year. I'd like to think he's smarter than that.
