Things I want to see:

Daseal · 11-25-2007, 05:10 PM

1) Keenan McCardell and Reche Caldwell as our starting WRs. Moss can use his blazing speed to bring them water quicker.

2) More aggressive playcalling. I liked going for it on 4th. We gotta keep that going.

3) Stop replacing Portis / Betts mid drive if they're hot. Betts was destroying, then we put Portis in there, why? Betts was doing GREAT at that point.

4) Keep throwing like crazy. This season is over, lets let Jason go. See what he can do.

THINGS AFTER THE SEASON, that I want to see.

1) KABOOOOOOOOOM. Blow this team up. Keep a core together of Taylor, Rogers, Landry, Rocky, Daniels, Montgomery, Golston, Campbell, Samuels. Have a firesale for everyone else. This team is getting old fast, they're inconsistent and need to be changed. Get as many PICKS as we can and build an offense with it (another very good DE would help a lot too.)

2) Don't be afraid to go after the front office and sidelines. DC needs a change, this isn't working. I don't think there's ever been such an inconsistent team in the NFL. Every week I'm curious who will show up. That absolutely IS a sign of bad coaching. I can live with us blowing, as long as it's consistent and I see progress.

I really think blowing up the team would be retarded.

Daseal · 11-25-2007, 05:17 PM

Why matty, because they've done so much? Give me a reason why we shouldn't, do you feel like we're close to being a real competitor? I don't.

Yeah... I think they are close.

I think the best thing to do would be add to what we've got, keep this staff in place, and give it another shot with the benefit of Campbell entering his 2nd full season as the starter. It's way too early to blow up the team and start over and a typical fan knee jerk reaction.

Daseal · 11-25-2007, 05:23 PM

Knee jerk? Gibbs has had four years and hasn't done anything. Campbell should have been playing far before he got on the field. This isn't an OMG we lost thread. Our team is bad, try for once to look at this objectively. For a second, just imagine theres a different coach down there. You wouldn't be saying what you're saying now, you'd be with us.

Gibbs has lost it. Break this team down, rebuild with an offense.

Bushead · 11-25-2007, 05:26 PM

The team is getting old which worries me. There are a lot of good players on the team still, and all the games they have been in have been VERY CLOSE and the redskins have been leading at Half. I don't think blowing up the team is necessary, but getting some young players woulnd't be a bad idea either.

MTK · 11-25-2007, 05:26 PM

Do we really want to see JC start over with another offense, new players, etc.?

I don't. Build on what we've got. There's not logical reason to blow it all up.

Daseal · 11-25-2007, 05:28 PM

We'll have to agree to disagree.

Guess so.

I'm just glad the realistic chance of us blowing up the team is 0%.

skinsfaninok · 11-25-2007, 05:31 PM

Yea we are bad! No talent at WR, stupid fumbles and interceptions! I like JC and i think he wil be very good, but we are done! THREE WEEKS AGO WE WERE 5-3 WOW what a turnaround!

pdid5000 · 11-25-2007, 05:31 PM

Definitley want to see McCardell and Caldwell more. Three and Four wideout sets too.

SouperMeister · 11-25-2007, 05:33 PM

With the exception of one 6 game run in '05, Gibbs 2.0 has been a bust. Our "super-smart" players find ways to lose games more times than not. I don't question the effort, but it feels like I'm watching a Norv Turner coached team for most of Gibbs's return.

Bushead · 11-25-2007, 05:34 PM

I feel like the hurry up would be a good change of pace for Jason.

cpayne5 · 11-25-2007, 05:40 PM

I don't think blowing up the team is the proper thing to do. Building depth is. The only way we can get more picks is to trade somebody (or high picks). There are only 5 players on the roster that may be tradeable, but several are on your "core" list. Betts and Cooley are the only ones not in your list. Everyone else you'd have to fire; there'd be no "sale" possible.

In my opinion, we are a very close to being right there with Dallas and Green Bay in the NFC. We are 1 healthy Sean Taylor from being 2-1 over the last three.

I'll agree that Moss has been a big disappointment this year. It seems he's best when trying to adjust to an underthrown ball, which is not something JC does very often. He's a complementary receiver with Campbell under center.

Right now, we are suffering from the growing pains of a young quarterback. He has shown very bright flashes, but also shows how inexperienced he is at times. This has to happen. It's just the natural progression of an NFL quarterback. Right now we are living and dying by the arm (decisions?) of 17.

DynamiteRave · 11-25-2007, 05:41 PM

Keep Saunders and lose Gibbs once his contract is up. Synder is a lifelong Skins fan so Gibbs sure isn't going to get fired. But I do see him retiring gracefully. We definitely need a "Now" coach. Someone with some fire and passion for the game. I'm sure Gibbs still has it inside but Jesus, outward shows of emotion (happiness, anger, signs of life) is always nice.
