There were many people and a couple of threads talking about how we should have pounded it against Cincy last week. We tried to come out throwing and before we knew it the score was 14-0. This week we had a stronger commitment to running and kept the game close for a good portion of it. I still say this game came down to execution. We had a few breakdowns at key times that really cost us the game. Could the offense have been a bit more wide open? Yeah I agree it could have, but for the most part it was a solid gameplan that kept us in the game, and it was poor execution that led to our 2nd half collapse. |

It's Not Just the Awful Playcalling, but . . .
the pure stubborness in letting Brunell stay in as the starter for so long. Way beyond when he should have been benched.
And the playcalling today was every bit as bad as that of last week. I have always loved Gibbs and what he did for this franchise, but I must say that I am really beginning to get cvery, very concerned about his approach to the game, primarily on offense. I feel that we're playing in a time warp and that the Gibbs offense of the 80's (which is a lot of what we're seeing now), just does not work in today's NFL. But, the worst part of it is that I fear that Gibbs thinks it will eventually succeed, so he's going to stick with it. Just as he stuck with Brunell just long enough to ruin our season. It's not coincidental that the part of the team that is doing very well is the defense -coached by a relatively young guy who's been part of the NFL for the past several years. And the part of the team that truly stinks is being coached by two old timers - Gibbs and Bugel. I'm just not sure that they're up to the task anymore. Gibbs gives no indication that he has anything else up his sleeve other than fielding two wideouts. Today's game is very much different from what Gibbs left when he retired and I don't think he sees that. Even Spurrier's offense was more exciting and generated more scores than Gibbs's does and that's a scary statement to have to make. I've watched the Skins for over 30 years and can't ever remember a time when the offense looked so anemic. I love Gibbs, but after what I've seen, I wonder if he can still get the job done. I knows there are those of you out there who truly believe he'll get things turned around and I sincerely hope you're right. But, what if the thing that needs to get "turned around" is Gibbs himself? |
