People forget the fickle nature of the NFL. Teams are up one season and down the next. Take the Bucs for example, they don't bring in many FA's every year and yet they fell just like we did. In spite of this well known fact, everyone seems to think that all our problems will be solved if we just start "building through the draft". Newsflash: 31 teams attempt to build through the draft and not all of them are good.

Dude, I said the NFL is a fickle beast in my post...lol. I still think a lot of fans pull punches out of respect for Gibbs and Williams. If this were Steve Spurrier and Marvin Lewis, they wouldn't be getting this kind of leeway.
However, I don't necessarily think that is a bad thing. These guys have earned the right to stay through a bad season. Firing the coaches would be a horrible idea right now.
