Why are we giving Gibbs a pass?

[4mrusmc]

Let me first say that a appreciate what Joe Gibbs has done as our coach. But, I for one am not pleased with the way our team is being built. It seems every year that us "arm chair quaterbacks" know what our strengths and weaknesses are. And come draft day our team president comes out of left field somewhere with some crazy draft day pick-ups. We have to ask our selves, "what are we developing as a team, and per player and their position". We throw away draft picks, and over pay for over-hyped free agents. This we know is true. But, I am definitely not happy with the finished product. This is Joe's fourth year to get this thing right, and probably his last. We as fans demand better, and we have definitely suffered long enough. Look, I love this team just like you guys, but come on, how many post game shows can you stand to hear our coach say, "that team was tough, and our guys fought their guts out." It's time to have some kind of sensible plan, and to execute that plan come game day Joe! You may fire when ready............

We've been over this same topic many times in the past. Who is giving him a free pass?? We all expect better results than last year, Gibbs included.

Oh my gosh, not again. I agree!

It's not so much as giving him a free pass. But, what is our plan as a football team, and how are we going to get better at each position? We have no pass rush, our db's can't cover wideouts, our D-line can't stop the run, we get no turnovers. Our coaches have iron heads, and think that their names only win games. I hate to break it to them, but it is not working.

So what did you think about 2005? When we went to the playoffs.
And how do you think injuries affected our Defense, and overall team and record last year?

all noted above is greg williams responsibility. overall, I... well most of us would like a structure a GM could give us and demanding more draft picks per year and less FA busts.

True, but Gibbs is the Head coach.

2005 was great, it's 2007 now, and our plan for building a team that can compete on any given Sunday is what I question. All of this off-season rumor, and free agent acquisitions leave me scratching my head. What pieces of the puzzle are we putting in place to be great again? I feel that we are being herded like sheep.

i think this has been a good off season thus far. they resigned pretty much the players they needed to , they've brought in pretty good and reasonably priced free agents to fill some holes on defense. with the additions of smoot and macklin to go along with rogers and springs (and jimoh) i feel like the cb position is now a strenght rather then a weakness. with the addition of flethcher to go along with washington, marshall and mccintosh i feel like an already pretty good group of lbs just got better. getting prioulou(sp) back and bringing back stoutmire to go along with doughty(sp) and taylor i feel like the safety position is pretty strong. that leaves the d-line, they should address that in the draft.
offensively , i feel that they should be in good shape at pretty much every position. a lot depends on how well campbel plays.
