I am proud of the effort in the face of incredible adversity, and I praise Gibbs for holding the team together, but let's not give him a pass for some of the coaching clunkers (NY Giants and Philly) that put the team in a bind before Taylor died.

All that said, I do hope Gibbs returns. He has given us greater stability than any other coach during the Snyder regime. I hope that we continue to add talent through the draft - some of the best players on this team were Gibbs draft picks.

At one point during that stretch, I recall NE winning with all three starting linebackers out with injuries. While I hate the Pats, let's not minimize the rash of injuries they overcame to win that 2nd Super Bowl.

I'm down in sunny Florida and finally found an Internet connection.

Love this thread cuz I couldn't be prouder of the boys right now.

Kudos to Coach Gibbs and the entire team. Let's keep it going!

I said this not too long ago and was blasted by several people. One guy kept saying Tony Dungy (don't recall who), but I absolutely agree with you. It's a shame we can't get healthy for the playoffs, I'd like to see what gibbs could do with the full roster.

I just hoping that next year we can beat the patriots............

Totally agree, what could he do with a healthy roster in the playoffs? Hell, if we make the playoffs let's see what he can do with 2nd and 3rd stringers? We beat the Cowboys with a bunch of nobody's during that strike season? Why not now?

I agree. I'm not giving up on this team. The NFC is weak, and we seem to be getting stronger and more cohesive.

im sure if we can go a season with out any injuries like we had this yr.. we would have atleast won 10 if not 11 games maybe more.. but we are always hit with the BIG injuries.

True, and part of that is the fact that we have the oldest team in the NFL. I think some of it should fall on the shoulders of our strength and conditioning coach.

coach of the year goes to mike murlarky, GB

I agree, and going a step further, I'd give Brett Favre MVP. He carried the entire team before they discovered Ryan Grant midway into the season.

Bring back Dan Riley!! He's with the Texans now.

Before the season, I predicted the Skins would go 9-7 and end up third in the division.

If you would have told me three weeks ago, on the heels of a 4-game losing streak, and losing a pro-bowl safety first to injury and then murder, I still might be right, I would have thought you crazy.

This team has Heart with a capital Gibbs.

We had a great year. Aside from the New England game we were in every single one of them, we could have won allot more, then you add the unfortunate passing of Sean. Allot of other teams would have folded but we held it together and were still in this thing!! No matter what happens in these next 2 games I am extremely proud of this team and even more proud to be a fan! They are the greatest team in sports!!!!!! GO SKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!
