Look. There is something you and alot of other fans have to realize. This offense is a BALL CONTROLLED offense. It lives and dies by the run. The running game is what opens this offense up. It's not going to change! The running game is what brought us this far. When the running game is hitting on all cylinders, it opens the passing game. It has ALWAYS been that way. If the running game is stuffed, how do you expect to open things up with only one deep threat? It's not going to happen! If you have more than one true deep threat at WR, then it's possible...but not with ONLY Moss running down the field. Gibbs doesn't have to do anything with the philosophy of the offense. The philosophy isn't broken, outdated, or unintelligent. It has already been proven it works - in fact, it is Gibbs relying heavily on the run and the short ball controlled passes that gave us that 6 game winning streak. Honestly, anyone on this board who is thinking seriously about calling themselves realists and believes they know more about winning in the playoffs and coaching than Joe Gibbs....you need to seriously have your head examined! Gibbs knows exactly what works and what doesn't.

All Gibbs needs is another deep threat receiver. He knows that...that is what they hoped Patten would be. Unfortunately, Patten didn't prove to be a threat when he was playing, and then was injured. Gibbs knows one more weapon will make a difference. In my opinion, that is ALL this offense needs.

BTW Wolfskins, I wasn't directing this post toward you or picking on you...but it's just a general statement to all Redskins fans.
