Hey Gibbs, You Need a New Playbook

I'm not going to say that Gibbs is a failure. I'm not going to say that we would be better off has Spurrier stayed with us. I'm not stupid or irrational.

However, I'm not going to blindly follow Gibbs wherever he takes us. We are fielding the worst offense in the NFC and probably in the entire league (the Dolphins are almost as pathetic). We haven't scored 20 points in 1 game! Isn't Gibbs the offensive mastermind?

I'm not sure if he knows that Ramsey is capable of throwing the ball past the first down sticks. When you are down by 14 points with 10 minutes of football left, you shouldn't be running a dink and dunk offense. This was the first game this season where I saw a good pocket formed on 9 out of 10 plays. Ramsey had the time to throw deep, the recievers have the speed to run deep, and Ramsey has the arm to throw deep. So why all the 5 yard passes? I DON'T believe that Ramsey was simply checking down.

Gibbs is about ball-control and I understand that he doesn't fully trust Ramsey right now. So, I can accept that Gibbs isn't going to call a bunch of 20 yard posts. But, when you're offense stinks, as ours did today, shouldn't you make some adjustments?

I didn't see anything in Gibbs' playcalling that told me that he has seen that his system hasn't been working, he took notice of that, and he made the appropriate changes in his playcalling. That gives me some serious pause and makes me nervous.

I don't know how everyone else feels about the playcalling, but I personally think Gibbs needs a new playbook.
