Why Doesn't "Gibbs' Football" Work for the Redskins?

We are really close to being a good team, once we put someone away...i will agree

I'll probably just blindly support Gibbs and say it's the fault of our players for not executing, Daseal.

Your point is well taken though, if the team gets on a hot streak the doubters will shut up and not say much of anything. That's just how things roll, people love to dwell on the negative and people typically have much more to say when things are going bad vs. when they are going good.

I agree ...it's counter-productive riding that negative train...Why even go there.

Yeah, it kills me that a team like the giants with it's outside issues can come in to FedEx, and beat us after we seemigly have the game in hand. I mean damn, our coach is in the Hall of fame for crying out loud, and to get shown up by a coach who is not respected by his players. And by the way, is it me, but does coach cough-phlem look like a meerkat? We should be beating his ass for that simple fact alone.

I'm really wondering if some people even watched the Giants game.

I certainly don't know how many folks did or did not watch the giants game, but it doesn't really matter......that game is in the books!

We WILL see tomorrow why "GIBBS FOOTBALL" does work in this league!

Yeah me too...how anyone thinks that wasn't horrible play calling is beyond me, they obviously didn't watch the game.

He will certainly need to be on his game cause without Moss and Lloyd we have two players that will be playing for the first time this year. Our WR's stink without Moss. I won't blame him for going to the ground a lot vs the Lions with those WR's.

How's that feel about now? Balanced attack, overwhelming D. I'm thinking of four words...

That's some nostradamus shit right there...

You were saying???


To all those that said we weren't conservative...look at the 34-3 win...that was an agressive game plan, aggressive play calling, and we had all sorts of injuries.
We learned our lesson not to play conservative, what an impressive win!
