WTF does Spurrier have to do with anything?

LOL! Oh but Matty, he was such a great coach for us that there must be some value in bringing his name up now...LOL!

Guys, I loves Gibbs to death, been a Skins fan since '79, but we do not have a first class coaching staff anymore. I look around the league at the playcalling and the coaching going on, and it is impressive and risk taking and gutsy, Patriots, Colts, Cowboys, Eagles, man all of those teams go for the juggler when they get a lead. Tiger Woods style, get the lead and then pour it on!!!, Where is that with our team? We play scared to death, which is why all of our games come down to the wire. Gibbs is always talking about how every game in the NFL is a dog fight, but when you have a team down 17-3 at half time, you have to pour it on and take them out before they regain their heart.

I'm thinking that this is one loss out of three games we have played so far this season. We have 13 more games left to play. Take it like a man and stick with this team through thick and thin. As far as I'm concerned, there is no bandwagon. I'm with this team regardless. Always have been, always will be. If people want to wet their pants over our first loss of the season, so be it. Yeah, it was a game we should've won, but we lost it. It sucks. Get over it. Let's move on to Detroit.

WHAT THE F*CK!!! Gibbs should NEVER EVER call ANY offensive plays again in his life!! F*ck that conservative bullshit. How are we supposed to close out a game that way?!! Hell u cant win games playin scared! Whoever called the plays for this game needs to be fired!

I had to join the chat room near the end of the game just to say whats up with this shitty ass playcalling,the giants suck at pass coverage and were trying to run it,how many 3 and outs do you need before you decide to try something different,just pathetic
and what happenned to the fucking shotgun? Eli stuffed it down our throats out of the shotgun,Romo,Brady,Palmer,Manning,all operate out of the shotgun with great success,we didnt use it till like the last 3 passing plays of the game,Gibbs suppossedly has never liked it and I dont understand it

You can play the "coaches can do no wrong" card all you want, but there is a reason they are getting paid out the ass and thats becuase some coaches can be the difference between winning and losing football games....if it was as simple as guys executing plays, than no coaches would ever get fired and whoever was on the feild would be the only ones whos jobs are on the line....I just hate the fact that we cant question this horseshit somtimes.

Uh, no? I can't really counter-argument your post because there obviously is no correlation between the way Dan Snyder perceives the NFL, and the way games are actually won and lost. This much is obvious so far.

So to say that he thinks he is making his team a lot better by paying Al Saunders a lot of money is probably accurate, but if we had you calling the plays instead I think you'd do just fine. I believe you'd agree with me since you are so critical of the playcalling.

But yeah, I wouldn't make an argument relying on Dan Snyder's understanding of the game of football...

Weather its Joe or Al...whoever claled this game should be fired

1. "Fumble" is obviously not a play call

2. Why would you start a thread called "Great Playcalling, Joe" and then say that you don't really know who call the game?

3. Run, Pass, Run, Run, Pass, Run, Pass, Run got us the game-clinching TD last week. You have to have a balanced offense to win in the NFL. Look at the Patriots. They have a very balanced offense

(it's kind of funny how last week people were all "Wow what a genius Al Saunders is" this week with a very, very, very similar gameplan it's all "Old Man Gibbs needs to be fired)

Wow, it must be a bad loss when the Ol' Ball Coach makes an appearance!

[skinsfan2000]

obviously im furious w/ the 2nd half defense, no portis on the final series, and the the lack of the killer instinct (capitalizing on the turnovers).

if someone told you we'd be 2-1 you's have to admit you take it.

the one thing i hope the coaches realize is that they can still be aggressive on offense with a lead.

you must not have seen king of the hill tonight.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

people here thought that we would be 2-1, they just thought the loss would be against the eagles not the giants.

[GTripp0012]

Is throwing more than you run with the lead not being aggressive?

Someone help me out here. I don't understand what the Warpath Collective wants when they say "aggressive".

And I'm getting pretty sure that you all don't know either.

Aren't the Eagles better?

I'll take it for sure.
